In This Week’s Parashah: מָה בַּפָּרָשָׁה
Full Parashah Reading: Shemot 27:20-30:10
- This parashah introduces more rules for the מִשְׁכָּן (mishkan, sanctuary for God in the wilderness). Benei Yisrael must light the נֵר תָּמִיד (ner tamid, continuous flame) there, each evening.
- Aharon and his sons will serve as כֹּהָנִים (kohanim, priests) in the mishkan. Every כֹּהֵן (kohen, priest) has the same uniform to wear but the כֹּהֵן גָּדוֹל (kohen gadol, high priest) has more clothing that only he wears.
- For seven days, Aharon and his children should get ready to serve as kohanim. They are supposed to prepare special rituals and sacrifices. They are also given the instructions for the קָרְבַּן תָּמִיד (korban tamid, daily offering).
- God gives instructions for building the מִזְבַּח הַקְּטֹרֶת (mizbah ha-ketoret, altar for incense spices), which would be made of pure gold and placed inside the mishkan.
