Beha'alotcha Tallit
Beha'alotcha begins with commands concerning the Menorah, Sanctuary laws, keeping of the Passover, and the use of silver trumpets. Traveling with the Ark is discussed. The unhappiness of the people with their desert menu, results in God's bombardment of them with quail followed by plague, and the parasha ends with Miriam and Aaron complaining about Zipporah, Moses' wife, and Miriam being made leprous temporarily as a result.
Band I
The Menorah with two olive trees by it, mentioned in the Haftorah of Behaalotecha, Zechariah 4,3.
Band II
The departure from Sinai, the Ark of the Covenant being set forward in a procession of the tribes of Israel.
