Bela'aloscha includes instructions regarding the Menorah and priestly duties for the Levites, and for Pesach Shaynie, Second Pesach, one month after Pesach. The tribes of Israel move with the Pillar of Clouds. When it rests, they rest, and when it moves, they follow. This at times causes some iconveniences as there is no pre-arranged travel itinerary and they unpack to pack back up or remain in a desolate place longer than they desire. The people complain about a steady diet of manna and demand meat, so they receive quail until they gorge themselves. Moses invites Jethro to remain with them and enter the promised land, but he declines. The seventy elders/leaders are chosen and the Sanhedrin established. At the end of the section, Miriam comments about her brother Moses to Aaron and is punished for Lashon Hara with tzaaras and is exiled outside the camp for a week.
