Well, as we come, of course, to the week's parashah, plenty there, the menorah, the consecration of the Levites, the Passover in the desert, of course, Pesach Sheni-
the cloud and the trumpets, the departure from Sinai, and the complaints mounting, and then, of course, Moses' crisis of leadership.
And then really right at the end, we have Miriam and Aaron's criticism of Moses, and particularly, um, them speaking out against, of course, his Cushite wife and questioning his unique prophetic status with that in mind.
