First Torah Reading - Exodus 30.11-34.35 The Sidrah begins with instructions to Moses to taking the census of male
Israelites, twenty and older, for purposes of fighting as soldiers. Each man among them must contribute the amount of one-half shekel to the Sanctuary fund. When the coins are counted the total number would show how many Israelite men there were for military duty. In their long wandering through the wilderness towards the Promised Land, there were going to be unfriendly peoples against whom they would have to defend themselves.
The Sidrah moves on to details concerning the Sanctuary, such as the laver in which the Kohanim are to wash before the service in the Tabernacle, oil for consecration of the Tabernacle to its holy purpose and the preparation of incense to be used in the services. The chief craftsmen who are to be in charge of the construction of the Sanctuary are appointed, Bezalel and Oholiab. As Israel is about the begin this important building project, they are instructed that they must do no work on the Sanctuary, important though it may be, on the Sabbath day. The Sabbath is sacred above all else.
The Sidrah then moves on to tell of the wrongdoing of Israel while Moses was on Mt. Sinai receiving the Ten Commandments. Suddenly afraid that Moses was gone, perhaps never to return, the people turned to Aaron asking him to make a god-image to worship, like one of the idols which they had seen in their Egyptian days. Aaron, a weaker man than his brother, Moses, gives in to the people’s demand. He melts down the gold ornaments which the Israelites give for the purpose and casts it into the form of a calf.
While the people are in the middle of a wild celebration around their golden calf, Moses makes his way down Sinai with the two tablets of the Commandments in his hands. As he approaches the Israelite camp below the mountain he sees what is happening. Shocked and angered by the scene, Moses throws the tablets to the ground. They are shattered to pieces. Moses next takes the calf-idol and in a fury grinds it to bits. After bitterly criticizing Aaron for his part in the idol-worshipping, some 3,000 Israelites are put to death.
But Moses gets over his anger and he pleads with God to forgive the people. Now there must take place a renewal of the covenant between God and Israel which has been temporarily broken by their worship of the golden calf. The renewal involves the making of a second set of tablets with the Ten Commandments. As they receive these tablets, the Israelites are warned to avoid a repetition of their wrongdoing. Never again are they to turn to false gods.
Haftarah - I Kings 18.1-39
The Haftarah is from the First Book of Kings. It tells of wrongdoing by Israel during the reign of King Ahab in the Northern Kingdom (869-850 B.C.E.). Under the influence of his queen, the Phoenician Jezebel, King Ahab permitted the worship of the god Baal.
Elijah the prophet challenges King Ahab and Queen Jezebel for their Baal worship. Let the Baal priests come to Mt. Carmel and Elijah will demonstrate to Israel who the true God is. Two altars are constructed on Mt. Carmel. The false priests offer sacrifices to Baal but nothing happens. Elijah then brings a sacrifice to God. It is miraculously burnt in answer to Elijah’s prayer. The people proclaim God to be the One and only One.
The theme link between the Haftarah and the Sidrah is the mistake of turning to idol worship in the time of Moses and then again, centuries later, in the days of Elijah.
