Shlach, Shelach, Sh'lah, Shlach Lecha, or Sh’lah L’kha (שלח or שלח לך — Hebrew for "send”, “send to you”, or "send for yourself" ) is the 37th weekly Torah portion (parshah) in the annual Jewish cycle of Torah reading and the fourth in the book of Numbers. It constitutes Numbers 13:1–15:41. Jews in the Diaspora generally read it in June. Its name comes from the first distinctive words in the parshah, in Numbers 13:2. The parshah tells the story of the scouts who discouraged the Israelites, commandments about offerings, the story of the Sabbath violator, and the commandment of the fringes.
