Question: What second book of the Torah and the Old Testament narrates how Moses led the Israelites in building the Tabernacle?

<P0-S0> Behaalotecha, Beha'alotecha, Beha'alothekha, or Behaaloscha ( — Hebrew for "when you step up," the 11th word, and the first distinctive word, in the parashah) is the 36th weekly Torah portion (, "parashah") in the annual Jewish cycle of Torah reading and the third in the Book of Numbers. <P0-S1>  The parashah tells of the Menorah in the Tabernacle, the consecration of the Levites, the Second Passover, how a cloud and fire led the Israelites, the silver trumpets, how the Israelites set out on their journeys, complaining by the Israelites, and how Miriam and Aaron questioned Moses. <P0-S2>  The parashah constitutes It is made up of 7,055 Hebrew letters, 1,840 Hebrew words, and 136 verses, and can occupy about 240 lines in a Torah Scroll (, "Sefer Torah"). <SEP> <P1-S0> The Book of Exodus or, simply, Exodus (from Ancient Greek: ἔξοδος , "éxodos", meaning "going out"; Hebrew: וְאֵלֶּה שְׁמוֹת‎ , "we'elleh shəmōṯ", "These are the names", the beginning words of the text: "These are the names of the sons of Israel" Hebrew: וְאֵלֶּה שְׁמֹות בְּנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל‎ ), is the second book of the Torah and the Hebrew Bible (the Old Testament). <SEP> <P2-S0> The Book of Leviticus ( ) is the third book of the Jewish Bible and the third book of the Old Testament. <P2-S1>  The book addresses all the people of Israel (1:2) though some passages specifically address the priests (6:8). <P2-S2>  Most of its chapters (1–7, 11–27) consist of God's speeches to Moses which he is commanded to repeat to the Israelites. <P2-S3>  This takes place within the story of the Israelites' Exodus after they escaped Egypt and reached Mt. Sinai (Exodus 19:1). <P2-S4>  The Book of Exodus narrates how Moses led the Israelites in building the Tabernacle (Exodus 35–40) based on God's instructions (Exodus 25–31). <P2-S5>  Then in Leviticus, God tells the Israelites and their priests how to make offerings in the Tabernacle and how to conduct themselves while camped around the holy tent sanctuary. <P2-S6>  Leviticus takes place during the month or month-and-a-half between the completion of the Tabernacle (Exodus 40:17) and the Israelites' departure from Sinai (Numbers 1:1, 10:11). <SEP> <P3-S0> Balaam /ˈbeɪlæm/ (Hebrew: בִּלְעָם‎ , "Bilʻam" "Bilʻām") is a diviner in the Torah, his story occurring towards the end of the Book of Numbers (Hebrew: במדבר‎ ). <P3-S1>  The etymology of his name is uncertain, and discussed below. <P3-S2>  Every ancient reference to Balaam considers him a non-Israelite, a prophet, and the "son of Beor", though "Beor" is not clearly identified. <P3-S3>  Though some sources may only describe the positive blessings he delivers upon the Israelites, he is reviled as a "wicked man" in both Torah and its commentaries, as well as in the New Testament. <P3-S4>  Balaam refused to speak what God did not speak and would not curse the Israelites, even though King Balak of Moab offered him money to do so (Numbers 22–24). <P3-S5>  But Balaam's error and the source of his wickedness came from sabotaging the Israelites as they entered the Promised Land. <P3-S6>  According to Revelation 2:14, Balaam told King Balak how to get the Israelites to commit sin by enticing them with sexual immorality and food sacrificed to idols. <P3-S7>  The Israelites fell into transgression due to these traps and God sent a deadly plague to them as a result (Numbers 31:16).
