Parshah in a Paragraph

Shelach: The Meraglim scout out the land and return with a negative report • Klal Yisrael accepts their report and cries; Hashem says He will eradicate the nation • Moshe davens; Vayomer Hashem Salachti Kidvarecha • Kalev's reward • The decree of forty years of wandering • The Ma'apilim try to enter Eretz Canaan and are defeated • Wine Nesachim (libations) are to be brought along with offerings • Mitzvah of Hafrashas Challah • The offerings for an individual or an entire community who sin in idolatry • The Mekosheish Eitzim • The mitzvah of Tzitzis and Techeiles (that reminds us of all of Hashem's mitzvos)

Haftarah

The haftarah (Yehoshua 2:1-24) speaks of the Meraglim whom Yehoshua sent to scout out Eretz Yisrael before capturing it. Although the Meraglim in the parashah were lacking faith in Hashem, the Meraglim sent by Yehoshua were sent with full faith in Hashem and sought only to assess the exact time to launch Bnei Yisrael’s conquest.
