Numbers 8:1-12:16 · 7 aliyot, maftir and haftarah from Zechariah

Parshat Behaalotcha: lighting the Menorah, the inauguration of the Leviim, Pesach Sheni, the cloud that led the camp, the silver trumpets, the departure from Sinai, the complaints about the manna, the seventy elders, the quail, and Miriam's tzaraat. The two inverted nunim around Vayehi binsoa mark the pesukim said when the Aron is taken out. About 24 minutes of leining, recorded aliyah by aliyah by a Master Baal Koreh with every word highlighted as it is read.
