Parashat Beha’alotcha – Year 3 – The Cost of the Quails.
Shabbat Shalom, Nazarene family.
This week we will study the parashat Beha’alotcha, portion of year 3, where we will see how the people organize themselves to move forward when the cloud moves, we will learn to follow Yahweh’s signs with confidence and good pace, and we will read how fatigue, complaints, and challenges arise among families as they walk. We will see that even leaders face difficult moments and learn how Yahweh responds, corrects, and guides. We will read that, in the midst of the journey, there are always opportunities to grow, strengthen our spirits, and move forward without losing our composure, even when the entire caravan feels agitated.
Bemidbar (Numbers) 11:18
18 Then you shall say to the people, ‘Consecrate yourselves for tomorrow, and you shall eat meat; for you have wept in the hearing of Yahweh, saying, “Who will give us meat to eat? For it was well with us in Egypt.” Therefore Yahweh will give you meat, and you shall eat.
This week corresponds to the reading of the texts (in bold):
- Bemidbar (Numbers) 8:1-9:14 / 9:15-10:34 / 10:35-12:16
- Zekaryah (Zechariah) 2 / 3 / 4
- Luqa (Luke) 17:1-19 / 17:20-18:14 / 18:15-43
Summary of the weekly study, Year three:
Bemidbar (Numbers) 10:35-12:16
In these verses, the people follow the cloud while Moshe asks Yahweh for guidance, and soon complaints, fatigue, and entanglements arise that test everyone’s spirits. Moshe feels burdened, Yahweh responds with order and correction, and Miryam and Aaron receive a clear lesson in respect and humility. The journey reveals how murmuring weighs more than a backpack and how calmness sustains even when the entire camp is restless. The entire journey shows that trust paves the way even amid noise. In this passage, we will learn to walk with focus, humility, and a steadfast heart.
Zekaryah (Zechariah) 4
In these verses, Zechariah contemplates a golden candlestick fed directly by two olive trees, showing that Yahweh sustains His work without depending on human effort. The promise affirms that the rebuilding of the Temple will move forward because Yahweh removes obstacles and encourages Zerubbabel to complete what he started, reminding him that small beginnings also bear His seal. This vision teaches that the true strength to persevere does not come from anxiety or self-motivation, but from the constant provision from Above, which illuminates even when the outlook seems difficult. In this passage, we learn to trust with calmness, steadfastness, and hope.
Luqa (Luke) 18:15-43
In these verses, we see families bringing their children to Yeshua, and we learn how He receives them with tenderness, reminding us that the Kingdom belongs to those who have a simple heart. Then we observe the rich young man, who wants to inherit eternal life but clings to his possessions, and Yeshua shows him that the greatest treasure is to follow Him without burdens. We will also see Yeshua announce His journey to Jerusalem, even though the disciples do not fully understand. Finally, we will read how a blind man cries out insistently, and Yeshua restores his sight, showing that persevering faith opens doors even when everything seems dark.

Enjoy this fun activity with the whole family. Inside you will find development questions for the three weekly sections (Torah, Haftarah and Brit Chadasha). While the older ones discuss the questions and their answers, the younger ones can color the picture related to the teaching, solve a maze, find the 7 differences and much more. We encourage you to do it week by week and instill in your children the habit of studying Yahweh’s word as a family.
We hope you and especially your sons and daughters enjoy this effort. For it is through the study of the Scriptures that we can come to understand the love and care that Yahweh has always had for us. And also to perceive that He has been taking care of even the smallest detail, so that we can take care and enjoy all that He gives us. That is why it is so important that our children learn and grow up knowing that they are loved by the Creator of all that exists.
Shalom.
