Chukat - 2024

Chevre, this week’s parsha is Chukat (חֻקַּת). A Hoke (not sure how to represent a Chet since choke would be an English word) is a law that we don’t know the reason for. It’s just for us to do. The parsha starts with the (C)Hoke of the Red Heffer. It’s ashes are used in the purification process and intrestingly the priest who sprinkles the purifying waters becomes impure. This is followed by the death of Miriam and the lack of water.
