The king of Edom refuses to let Bnei Yisrael pass thru his land. Ahron dies & is buried on Mt. Hor; his son Elazar becomes Kohen Gadol.
The people protest against Moshe & are bitten by fiery snakes. Moshe erects a pole with a copper snake on top; whoever looks at it is cured. The people sing a song of praise about Miriam's well. The Sedra ends with victories in battle over Israel’s perennial enemies Sichon & Og.
The Haftora is from Shoftim 11, the story of Yiftach.
