Naso/Numbers 4:21-7:89
The special role of the Levites is explained in this week's Torah portion, Naso. Parashat Naso opens with God instructing Moses to take a census of two families of the tribe of Levi, the Gershonites and the Merarites. The census counts only males age thirty to fifty. God also instructs Moses to teach Aaron a special three-part blessing, which Aaron and the priests are to use to bless the people of Israel. The blessing is found in Numbers 6:24-26:
May Adonai bless you and keep you!
May Adonai deal kindly and graciously with you!
May Adonai bestow favor upon you and grant you peace!
