Parasha Summary
Parashat Masei concludes Sefer Bamidbar by recounting the 42 journeys of Bnei Yisrael through the wilderness, emphasizing Divine guidance at each stage. The Torah then delineates Eretz Yisrael's boundaries and the cities allocated to the Levi'im, including the six Arei Miklat (cities of refuge) for unintentional killers. The parasha also addresses the laws of accidental and intentional homicide, stressing the sanctity of life. Finally, it resolves the issue of the daughters of Tzelofchad marrying within their tribe to preserve ancestral land inheritance. The parasha underscores Hashem's meticulous providence and the importance of maintaining tribal and national integrity in Eretz Yisrael.
