Tetzaveh - 6th Portion

Join as we learn kish for Friday parasav chapter 29 verse 38 the six Torah reading of parasav yesterday in the Thursday in the fifth to reading we continue to discuss the procedures of the sacrifices that were brought on the day of installation and inauguration of coh of the cohain of the Aaron and the sons, the seven days of inauguration. Over here also the Torah continues to tell us about the sacrifices and the procedures that were done during the time of the installation that will be done when Aaron and his sons are installed as kohanim. The sacrifices that will be brought on the altar. Verse 38, this is what you shall do offer on the altar. two one-year-old lambs every single day, every day regularly through the seven days of the week. Verse 39, one lamb you shall offer in the morning, and you should offer the other lamb in the afternoon. Verse 40. The isarin sus together with the first lamb. You will then bring a one/10enth of fine flour. One/tenth of an apho which would then be a fine flour bash which would be needed in oil. How much oil would be used? cussis. This can be pressed oil as well as we'll soon see made up of a quarter of a hinn and its libation would be consisting of a quarter of a hinn of wine per lamb that you will be bringing. Rashi 40 is a tenth of fine flour. What is this tenth of oneth of one of which is about 43 and a quarter of a and a fifth of an egg which would be because apha its measurement is 30 savim a kav is for alugan aluga is six bim. So if you make the uh if you make the measurement you come out that would be one/10enth would be 43 ba and a fifth bash why does he use that it was over here crushed olive oil tells us that in this case the olive oil didn't have to be specifically crushed just to say that if it is crushed it's still fit because why does the Torah have to tell me that if it's crushed it's still good being that it said previously that crushed oil should be used for illuminating. I would think that only it's only good for illuminating but it wouldn't be good for any meal offerings. I would think that the verse is coming to tell me that when it comes for meal offerings if it's crushed it would not be good. Therefore, the Torah says of that it's allowed to be crushed. And the only reason why it says it should be crushed to illuminating. Why does it say by illuminating it has to be crushed? Because over there it specifically has to be crushed. But to tell you that by the meal offerings it's allowed to be crushed as well. But it's coming to tell me that meal offerings as well, even if it's not crushed, even if it was grinded and pressed with a millstone, it would still be considered kosher to be used for the meal offerings. A quarter of augan the measurement of a hinn is the measurement of 12 lugan. A quarter of a hinn would give you three lugan it's libations. What does it mean libations? for the bowls that were on the altar. On the altar in the corner of the altar, there were two bowls. was for water or was for wine and that's where they would pour the wine for the wine libations like it says in the tract of two silver bowls on the top of the altar and they had holes in them like two holes of a nose. He would pour the wine through one and it would wash its way through it like in the nose and through the narrow part and then fall onto the altar from there would go down to the hollow space which was at the end uh which was at the bottom of the is the way it was in the altar that was in the holy temple. That means in the holy temple that was built in Jerusalem that King Solomon built was the two silver bowls that were on the top. It went through the narrow nostrils, if you want to call it, of the bowl, then to the b to the base of the altar. However, in the tabernacle, in the tabernacle where there was only the copper altar, there was no base where it would collect on the bottom and the empty hollowess of the altar and it would just pour at the bottom onto the altar from the altar onto the ground wherever it may be. Verse 41. And the second lamb, you will bring up, you will bring as an offering in the evening, in the afternoon. Just like you brought the libations in the morning as you did the libations in the morning as well, you should do for the afternoon one as a fire offering to please God. Though we've mentioned before that the it should be for a pleasant offering to God that was only about the ascent offering over here he's saying that this refers to as well concerning the meal offering because the meal offering for the libations were completely burnt on the altar and its order of bringing it was first they brought the limbs of the actual animal and only afterwards was the meal offering. As it says that the first was the ola, the ascent offering and only afterwards was the meal offering. Verse 42. This throughout the Jewish people's future generations, this would be a ascent offering that would be brought before God at the entrance of the tent of gathering in front of Hashem that I will meet you there. I will convene with you there to speak with you at that place. meaning not that it was constantly there but being that it was done regularly every day. He uses the terminology because there should no be no interruption of this daily sacrifice that is brought meaning when I will set a time to convene with you to speak with you that's where I'll meet you. There are those of our rabbis that learn from here that the place that God would convene and talk to Moshe was above came from above the copper altarish. That was once the Mishkan the tabernacle was set meaning that he says I will meet you there there referring to the altar. Others say it was that it came from the cover above the ark of the testimony. Because as it says and we mentioned this previously in chapter 25 that God says I will meet you on from on top of the cover that I will convene with you there. And therefore they suggest that when it says over here in the word that I will convene with you there is not referring to the altar but is referring to the entrance of the tabernacle which meant that the voice was coming from the sound of the cover of the ark which Moshe would hear as he would stand at the entrance of the tabernacle. Verse 43. And I will then convene with the Israelites there and I will thus be sanctified my glory. What is the what does this mean? I will make this place that I will talk to the Jewish people from that place like a king that sets up a space that he's going to meet his servants that that's where he'll talk to them and I will become holy. What does this mean? Because of my glory and my holiness that will be in the tentish the actual tabernacle will then sanctify who God is. What does it mean with my honor with my glory? The very fact that you have the tabernacle and that my divine presence will rest in the tabernacle explains. Don't say with my honor, but with those that honor me. Meaning that those that do the proper thing. This was actually alluding to the fact that we're going to learn about a sad event that on the day of Aaron and his son's installation into being the cohen his two older sons died that's what then Moshe said this is what God said those that are close to me I will become sanctified when did God say it you can say that it is this verse where God says I will be sanctified I will be glorified with those that respect me with those that honor me. Verse 44. And I will sanctify the tent of gathering and the altar Aaron and Aaron Bonov and his sons. I will make them holy. I will sanctify them that they should minister for me to be myim. Verse 45. And then I will dwell in the midst of the Jewish people and I will be for them as a god. Verse 46. And they will know that I am. I am their God that I took them out of the land of Egypt. Why can dwell am in their midst? I am God their God. meaning on for the purpose. Why did I take them out of Egypt? So that I can rest my divine presence amongst the Jewish people. This concludes the six Torah reading of Parases Tava.
