This week's parsha contains 74 mitzvahs, which is more than any other Torah portion.

We begin with the laws and procedures concerning a soldier who wants to marry a female captive of war. It also discusses the inherent right of a firstborn son to a double portion of his father's inheritance.

Our Parsha contains multitudes of notable commandments. For example, returning a lost object to its owner, the obligation to send away the mother bird before taking her young, the law against wearing shatnez (any garment that contains a mixture of wool and linen), and the mitzvah of wearing Tzitzis. There’s also the prohibition against taking interest when loaning money to a fellow Jew and the laws regarding divorce. The Parsha ends off with the mitzvah to remember what Amalek did to us on our journey through the desert.

We find out why it is detrimental to hate the Egyptians, even though they caused us so much pain.

We begin with the commandant to appoint judges and law enforcement in each city and laws how not to pervert justice, as the Pasuk says, (16:20) “Tzedek tzedek tirdof,” “You shall surely pursue justice.”

Moshe then gives over the laws pertaining to kings, such as, not having more than eighteen wives, or acquiring excessive amounts of personal wealth. He continues with laws concerning Kohanim that they will not inherit any portions in the land of Cana’an, for G-d is their inheritance. He then describes how to differentiate between true and false Prophet and the punishment for those who falsely claim that G-d has spoken to them.

Our Parsha ends off with the law of Eglah Arufah. If a person is found dead on the side of the road, the elders of the closest city must decapitate a calf in atonement and proclaim their innocence to Hashem.

Continuing Moshe's final address to the Jewish people, our Parsha begins with this statement, "Behold I place before you today blessings and curses." He commands the Jewish nation to proclaim these blessings on Har Gerizim and the curses on Har Eval as they enter the land of Israel.

Moshe also warns the Jewish people of the consequences if they worship idols and the catastrophic price that will be paid by a city which has ultimately succumbed to idolatry.

Our Parshas begins with Hashem instructing Moshe and the Jewish people to wage war against Midian, in retaliation for the chaos they created amongst the Jewish nation. So Moshe gathered one thousand soldiers from each tribe and mounted an attack against the country of Midian. They emerged victoriously and killed their kings, and every fighting-age male.

When the soldiers returned from battle, representatives from the tribes of Reuven and Gad came to Moshe with a strange ask. They requested that their part of the land not be in Israel, but rather, on the other side of the Yarden River. Their reasoned that there is an abundance of fields to feed their many flocks of sheep.

Our Parsha begins with Pinchas, the grandchild of Aaron, receiving a reward for killing Zimri, the head of the tribe of Shimon. He was publicly displaying the Midianite princess with whom he was consorting with.

The reward Pinchas received was the Kehunah, priesthood. The Talmud explains, that when Hashem anointed Aaron to the Kehunah, he said, that this appointment was for Aaron, his sons, and the future generations. Since Pinchas was alive when by the anointment, he did not receive the Kehunah.

Balak, the king of Moav worrying about his upcoming battle with the Jewish people. So Balak recruited Balaam, the famous non-Jewish prophet to curse the Jewish people, and hopefully defeat them in battle.

G‑d allowed Balaam to go — provided that he only speaks the words that G‑d would dictate to him. When Balaam arrived in Moav, he instructed Balak to build seven altars and offer sacrifices to G-d. However, instead of cursing the Jewish people, Balaam showered them with blessings.

So Balak takes Balaam to another location, hoping that Balaam can curse the Jews from there. They build more altars and offer sacrifices, however, Balaam again blessed the Jewish people.

When the entire process repeats itself a third time, and yet again only blessings came out of Balaam's mouth, Balak despaired of accomplishing his goal and sent Balaam on his way.

We find out why we name a Parsha after a person who tried to curse the Jewish people.

We learn why we must work diligently towards our goals, even if we do not see any results.

Our Parsha begins with Korach staging a rebellion against Moshe and his brother Aaron. Together with a few ringleaders, he gathers 250 men and accuses Moshe and Aaron of nepotism.

In response, Moshe proposed that the next day they all participate in a test, everyone would bring an incense offering in the Mishkan, and then G‑d would make his choice known.
