1) Ch. 6, v. 2: "Tzav es Aharon" Command Aharon This is the first command about the sacrificial service where Aharon is mentioned. No offering or service in the previous parsha mentioned Aharon. What important lesson can be culled from Aharons being mentioned by name for this particular task?
2) Ch. 6, v. 6: "Lo sei'o'feh chometz" It shall not be baked leavened The only exception to this rule is the two breads brought on Shovuos. They are chometz. What is the rationale for this exception?
3) Ch. 6, v. 13: "Zeh korban Aharon uvonov b'yom himoshach oso" this is the offering of Aharon and his sons on the day of his anointment Every Kohein must bring a meal offering, called "minchas chavitin," on the day of his inauguration. The Kohein Godol brings this offering every day, and it is offered half in the morning and half in the afternoon. Why does the Torah require of him to do this daily?
4) Ch. 7, v. 2: "Yish'chatu es ho'oshom" They shall slaughter the guilt-offering Rashi says that this refers to a guilt-offering of the "tzibur." This is most puzzling, as the gemara T'muroh 14a says that we find no "oshom shel tzibur."
5) Ch. 7, v. 10: "V'chol minchoh vluloh vashemen vacha'reivoh l'chol bnei Aharon ti'h'yeh" And every minchoh that is mixed with oil and a dry one shall be for all the sons of Aharon Why are these two particular types of meal offering given to all Kohanim for consumption rather than being limited to the Kohein who processes them?
