Naso (Make an Accounting) נָשׂא
Scripture:	Numbers 4:21–7:89			Torah
		Parashat Naso ²¹Again Adonai spoke to Moses saying, ²²“Take a census also of the sons of Gershon, by their ancestral households and by their families. ²³Count all the males from 30 to 50 years of age, everyone coming to work in the service of the Tent of Meeting. ²⁴This is the task of the Gershonite families in working and carrying burdens. ²⁵They are to carry the curtains of the Tabernacle, the Tent of Meeting, its covering, the outer covering of porpoise hide, the curtains for the entrance for the Tent of Meeting, ²⁶the curtains surrounding the courtyard and the altar, the curtain for the entrance, the ropes and all the equipment used in its operations. They are to do all that needs to be done with these things. ²⁷The sons of the Gershonites are to do all their tasks, whether carrying or doing other work, according to the word of Aaron and his sons. You are to assign to them all that is their responsibility to carry. ²⁸This is the duty of the families of the sons of the Gershonites regarding the Tent of Meeting. Their duty will be under the direction of Ithamar son of Aaron the kohen. ²⁹Next, count the sons of Merari, according to their families and their ancestral houses, ³⁰sons 30 years old and upward to 50, everyone coming to work in the service of the Tent of Meeting. ³¹This is their task in the service of the Tent of Meeting: the frames of the Tabernacle, its crossbars, posts and bases, ³²as well as the posts of the surrounding courtyard, plus their bases, tent pegs, ropes, and all their paraphernalia with everything related to their operation. Assign to them by name their duties and tasks. ³³This is the service of the families of the sons of Merari as they work under the direction of Ithamar son of Aaron the kohen.” ³⁴So Moses, Aaron and the princes of the community counted the sons of the Kohathites according to their families and their ancestral households. ³⁵All the men who came to do the service of the Tent of Meeting, from 30 to 50 years of age, ³⁶were counted by families—2,750. ³⁷This was the total of those in the families of the Kohathites, every one serving in the Tent of Meeting—Moses and Aaron counted them according to the mouth of Adonai by Moses’s hand. https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Numbers%204%3A21%E2%80%937%3A89&version=TLV
Scripture:	Judges 13:2–25			Haftarah
²Now there was a certain man from Zorah, from a Danite clan, whose name was Manoah. His wife was barren and bore no children. ³Then the angel of Adonai appeared to the woman and said to her, “Behold now, you are barren and have not borne children, but you will conceive and bear a son. ^[a] ⁴Now therefore be careful not to drink wine or strong drink, or eat any unclean thing. ⁵For behold, you will conceive and bear a son. Let no razor come upon his head, for the boy will be a Nazirite to God from the womb.^[b] He will begin to deliver Israel from the hand of the Philistines.” ⁶Then the woman came and told her husband saying, “A man of God came to me and his appearance was like the appearance of the angel of God, very awesome! But I did not ask him where he was from, nor did he tell me his name. ⁷He said to me, ‘Behold, you will conceive and bear a son. So, drink no wine or strong drink, and eat nothing unclean, for the child will be a Nazirite to God from the womb to the day of his death.” ⁸Then Manoah entreated Adonai and said, “My Lord, please let the man of God whom You have sent come to us again and teach us what we will do for the boy to be born.” ⁹God listened to the voice of Manoah, and the angel of God came again to the woman as she was sitting in the field, but her husband Manoah was not with her. ¹⁰So the woman ran quickly and told her husband, and said to him, “Look, the man that came to me the other day has appeared to me!” ¹¹So Manoah got up and followed his wife. When he came to the man, he asked him, “Are you the one who spoke to the woman?” “I am,” he said. ¹²Then Manoah said, “Now may your words come about! What will be the child’s rule and his mission?” ¹³The angel of Adonai said to Manoah, “Let the woman abstain from all that I mentioned to her. ¹⁴She should not eat anything that comes from the grapevine, or drink wine or strong drink, or eat any unclean thing. She must observe all that I commanded her.” ¹⁵Then Manoah said to the angel of Adonai, “Please, let us detain you so that we may prepare a young goat for you.” ¹⁶But the angel of Adonai said to Manoah, “If you could detain me, I would not eat your food. But if you present a burnt offering, then offer it to Adonai.” For Manoah did not realize that he was the angel of Adonai. ¹⁷Then Manoah asked the angel of Adonai, “What is your name, so that when your words come to pass we may honor you?” ¹⁸But the angel of Adonai said to him, “Why do you ask for my name? It is wonderful.” https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Judges%2013%3A2%E2%80%9325&version=TLV
Scripture:	Luke 1:11–20			Brit Chadashah
		¹¹An angel of Adonai appeared to him, standing at the right side of the altar of incense. ¹²Zechariah was in turmoil when he saw the angel, and fear fell upon him. ¹³But the angel said, “Do not be afraid, Zechariah, because your prayer has been heard. Your wife, Elizabeth, will give birth to your son, and you will name him John. ¹⁴And you will have joy and gladness, and many will rejoice at his birth. ¹⁵He will be great before Adonai; and he should not drink wine and intoxicating beverage,^[a] but he will be filled with the Ruach ha-Kodesh just out of his mother’s womb. ¹⁶Many of Bnei-Yisrael will turn to Adonai their God. ¹⁷And he will go before Him in the spirit and power of Elijah, to turn the hearts of fathers to the children^[b] and the disobedient ones to the wisdom of the righteous, to make ready for Adonai a prepared people. ¹⁸Zechariah said to the angel, “How will I know this for certain? I’m an old man, and my wife is well-advanced in age.” ¹⁹And speaking to him, the angel declared, “I am Gabriel, the one standing in God’s presence. I was commissioned to tell you and proclaim to you this good news. ²⁰So look, you will be silent and powerless to speak until the day these things happen, since you did not believe my words which will be fulfilled in their time.” https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Luke%201%3A11%E2%80%9320&version=TLV

Deuteronomy 32 : 1 – 52

The Song of Moses

1 “Give ear, O heavens, and I will speak! Let the earth hear the words of my mouth.

2 May my teaching trickle like rain, my speech distill like dew— like gentle rain on new grass, like showers on tender plants.

3 For I will proclaim Adonai’s Name, ascribe greatness to our God!

4 The Rock—blameless is His work. Indeed, all His ways are just. God of faithfulness without iniquity, righteous and upright is He.

5 Did it corrupt Him? No! The blemish is His children’s— a generation crooked and twisted.

6 Is this how you pay back Adonai, O foolish, unwise people? Isn’t He your Father who ransomed you? He made you and established you.

7 “Remember the days of antiquity, understand the years across generations. Ask your father and he will tell you, your elders and they will say to you.

8 When Elyon gave nations their heritage, when He separated the sons of man, He set boundaries for the people by the number of Bnei-Yisrael.

9 But Adonai’s portion is His people— Jacob is the share of His inheritance.

10 He found him in the wilderness land, in the void of a howling waste. He surrounded him, cared for him, guarded him as the pupil of His eye.

Haftarah Reading

Hosea 14 : 2 – 10

2 Return O Israel, to Adonai your God, for you have stumbled in your iniquity.

3 Take words with you and return to Adonai. Say to Him: “Take away all iniquity, and accept what is good, so we may repay with offerings of our lips:

4 ‘Assyria will not save us. We will not ride on horses, and we will never again say, “Our god,” to the work of our hands, for with You, orphans find mercy.’”

5 “I will heal their backsliding, I will love them freely, for My anger will turn away from him.

6 I will be like dew for Israel. He will blossom like a lily, and thrust out his roots like Lebanon.

7 His tender shoots will spread out. His beauty will be like an olive tree and his fragrance will be like Lebanon.

8 Those dwelling in his shadow will return. They will grow grain and bud like a vine. His renown will be like the wine of Lebanon.

9 Ephraim: “What more are idols to me? I have responded and observed Him. I will be like a luxuriant cypress tree. From me will be found Your fruit.”

10 Who is wise? Let him discern these things. Who is intelligent? Let him know them. For the ways of Adonai are straight, and the just walk in them, but the wicked stumble in them.

Joel 2 : 15 – 27

Blow the Shofar

15 Blow the shofar in Zion! Sanctify a fast; proclaim an assembly.

16 Gather the people; sanctify the congregation; assemble the elders; gather the children, even those nursing at breasts. Let the bridegroom come out from his bedroom and the bride from her chamber.

17 Between the porch and the altar let the kohanim, ministers of Adonai, weep, and let them say: “Have pity, Adonai, on Your people. Don’t make Your heritage a scorn, a byword among the nations. Why should the peoples say, ‘Where is their God?’”

18 Adonai will be zealous for His land, and have compassion on His people.

19 Adonai will answer and say to His people: “Behold, I will send you the grain, the new wine, and the fresh oil, and you will be satisfied with it. I will no longer make you a mockery among the nations.

20 “But I will remove the northern invader far from you—yes, I will banish him to a dry and desolate land— his vanguard into the Eastern Sea and his rearguard into the Western Sea. His odor will go up— Yes, his stench will rise.” For He has done great things!

Rain and Restoration

21 Do not fear, O land. Be glad! Rejoice! For Adonai has done great things.

22 Do not be afraid, beasts of the field, for the desert pastures have sprouted, for the tree bears its fruit. Fig tree and vine yield their strength.

23 So be glad, children of Zion, and rejoice in Adonai, your God. For He gives you the early rain for prosperity, Yes, He will bring down rain for you, the early and latter rain as before.

24 The threshing floors will be full of grain and the vats will overflow with new wine and fresh oil.

25 “I shall restore to you the years that the locust, the swarming locust, the canker-worm and the caterpillar have eaten— My great army that I sent among you.”

26 “You will surely eat and be satisfied, and praise the Name of Adonai your God, who has dealt wondrously with you. Never again will My people be shamed

27 You will know that I am within Israel. Yes, I am Adonai your God —there is no other— Never again will My people be shamed.”

Micah 7 : 18 – 20

He Will Again Have Compassion

18 Who is a God like You pardoning iniquity, overlooking transgression, for the remnant of His heritage? He will not retain His anger forever, because He delights in mercy.

19 He will again have compassion on us. He will subdue our iniquities, and You will cast all our sins into the depths of the sea.

20 You will extend truth to Jacob, mercy to Abraham, that You swore to our ancestors from the days of old.

John 21 : 1 - 25

Fish for Breakfast with the Risen One

1 After these things, Yeshua revealed Himself again to the disciples at the Sea of Tiberias. Now here is how He appeared.

2 Simon Peter, Thomas called the Twin, Nathanael of Cana in the Galilee, the sons of Zebedee, and two of the other disciples were together.

3 Simon Peter said to them, “I’m going fishing.” “We’re coming with you too,” they said. They went out and got into the boat, and that night they caught nothing.

4 At dawn, Yeshua stood on the beach; but the disciples didn’t know that it was Yeshua.

5 So Yeshua said to them, “Boys, you don’t happen to have any fish, do you?” “No,” they answered Him.

6 He said to them, “Throw the net off the right side of the boat, and you’ll find some.” So they threw the net, and they were not able to haul it in because of the great number of fish.

7 Therefore the disciple whom Yeshua loved said to Peter, “It’s the Lord!” When Simon Peter heard that it was the Lord, he tied his outer garment around himself—for he was stripped down for work—and threw himself into the sea.

8 But the other disciples came in the boat from about two hundred cubits offshore, dragging the net full of fish.

9 So when they got out onto the land, they saw a charcoal fire with fish placed on it, and bread.

10 Yeshua said to them, “Bring some of the fish you’ve just caught.”

Romans 10 : 14 – 11 : 12

14 How then shall they call on the One in whom they have not trusted? And how shall they trust in the One they have not heard of? And how shall they hear without someone proclaiming?

15 And how shall they proclaim unless they are sent? As it is written, “How beautiful are the feet of those who proclaim good news of good things!”

16 But not all heeded the Good News. For Isaiah says, “Adonai, who has believed our report?”

17 So faith comes from hearing, and hearing by the word of Messiah.

18 But I say, have they never heard? Indeed they have, for “Their voice has gone out into all the earth, and their words to the ends of the world.”

19 But I say, did Israel not understand? First Moses says, “I will provoke you to jealousy by those who are not a nation, with a nation empty of understanding I will vex you.”

20 And Isaiah is so bold as to say, “I was found by those who did not seek Me; I became visible to those who did not ask for Me.”

21 But about Israel He says, “All day long I stretched forth My hands to a disobedient and contrary people.”
