As we conclude the book of Bemidbar (Numbers), we also conclude the saga of the generation of the desert. G-d created the world and vowed that He will destroy the world should the Jews not accept Torah. Having received and kept Torah, the Israelites, as exemplified by the tribes of Reuven, Menashe, and Gad, as well as the five orphaned daughters of Tzelaphechad, choose for themselves their inheritence in the land of Israel. Masei (Numbers 33:1-36:13) Parashat Masei is read on Shabbat: Rosh Chodesh Menachem Av, 5768/August 2, 2008 http://www.templeinstitute.org/
