Parshaperspective.com  We start Sefer of Bamidbar which takes up the story as we left at the end of Sefer Shemos.  The Jewish people traveled from Egypt to Mt. Sinai, where they received the Torah and committed the sin of the Golden Calf. After obtaining forgiveness from G-d through Moshe’s prayer, they built a Mishkan.  They inaugurated it on the first of Nissan, almost one year since their exodus from Egypt. Now the Jewish people are ready to travel through the desert to the promised land.  Our Parsha begins with Hashem commanding Moshe to count every Jewish man from 20 to 60. We find why the Jewish people were counted once again?  We learn what changed after the giving of the Torah!
