- Levite Consecration – In Chapter 8, Aharon receives instructions for the lighting of the menorah, and the Levites are initiated into their service in the Mishkan.
- Pesach Sheni – Chapter 9 presents the laws of a Second Pesach (Pesach Sheni) in response to a petition by individuals who could not bring the Paschal sacrifice because they were ritually impure. This is followed by a description of the Cloud of Glory and how it served as an indicator of when to travel and when to camp.
- On the Road – Chapter 10 describes the silver trumpets and their use for assembling the nation and commencing travel. The Children of Israel begin traveling in their planned formation from Mount Sinai, on their way to the Land of Canaan. The chapter concludes with Moshe's invitation to Chovav to join the nation on their journey to Canaan.
- Lust for Meat and Crisis of Leadership – In Chapter 11, the Children of Israel demand that Moshe satiate their lustful desire for meat.
