NASO

This parsha speaks to what happens when a husband thinks his wife may have been unfaithful but has no real proof.  And if the man is jealous, he brings an offering, and the woman is brought before a priest who has her drink holy water from an earthen ware jar that is mixed with dust from the floor of the Mishkan.  Should she be guilty her body will react revealing her infidelity.  Also here are the vows of a Nazarite ( the small man in purple) who among other commitments doesn’t cut his hair during this time.  And after these sections there comes the priestly blessing itself, here indicated by the hands whose colors are those of the Kabbalah Sephirot.  And then the heads of the various tribes bring their gifts including silver bowls and platters and a golden spoon and animals for sacrifices.
