The Torah portion, Matot (tribes), opens with laws about vows and continues to describe the Israelites’ war against the Midianites and the allocation of spoils. The tribes of Reuben and Gad request to dwell outside of Israel, and Moses acquiesces on the condition that they help conquer it. Masei (travels), the final Torah portion in the Book of Numbers, opens with a list of places that the Israelites traveled in the desert. God commands the Israelites to destroy idolatry in Israel, outlines Israel’s boundaries, and details the laws of cities of refuge for accidental killers.
