The name of this Chumash

Why is this fourth section of the Torah named after the place the Jews happened to be at this time ?

We learn that it was not just a chance situation. Hashem had set it up , as He does everything else. One of His reasons is to teach us how to accept the Torah - even in the middle of no where. Torah is essential all over it is the essence of Life.

Although Moshe Rabeinu received the Torah , Dovid is the one who teaches us how to love the Torah as he says in Tehilim - Oh how I love Your Torah , all day long it is my conversation !!

Did you know that ?
This serves as a model of an adjustment period for people to acclimate themselves to change.
