Parsha Emor: Leviticus 21:1-Leviticus 24:23

Parsha: Emor

Day#3: Leviticus 22:17-33 (Study Notes)

After giving commandments to the priests, HaKadosh Baruch Hu moves back to conversing with the general public, though the commandments are relayed through Moshe Rabbeinu. We will see here that there is a clear message that there is one law for the native-born Israelite and the ger who convert to Judaism and join the Jewish Israelite flock. This oneness of law illuminates the oneness of HaKadosh Baruch Hu, the oneness of His Torah, and therefore the oneness of His flock.

(Leviticus 22:17-20)

We learn that when an Israelite OR a ger in Israel presents a burnt offering as a votive or free-will offering, we must offer it in a manner that will allow the offering to be accepted and counted in our (the one who brings offerings) favor.

We have previously studied these types of offerings, which are discussed in detail in Leviticus…

Day 3: Leviticus 22:17-33

וַיְדַבֵּ֥ר יְהֹוָ֖ה אֶל־מֹשֶׁ֥ה לֵּאמֹֽר׃

17 And the LORD spoke unto Moses, saying:

דַּבֵּ֨ר אֶֽל־אַהֲרֹ֜ן וְאֶל־בָּנָ֗יו וְאֶל֙ כׇּל־בְּנֵ֣י יִשְׂרָאֵ֔ל וְאָמַרְתָּ֖ אֲלֵהֶ֑ם אִ֣ישׁ אִישׁ֩ מִבֵּ֨ית יִשְׂרָאֵ֜ל וּמִן־הַגֵּ֣ר בְּיִשְׂרָאֵ֗ל אֲשֶׁ֨ר יַקְרִ֤יב קׇרְבָּנוֹ֙ לְכׇל־נִדְרֵיהֶם֙ וּלְכׇל־נִדְבוֹתָ֔ם אֲשֶׁר־יַקְרִ֥יבוּ לַיהֹוָ֖ה לְעֹלָֽה׃

18 Speak unto Aaron, and to his sons, and unto all the children of Israel, and say unto them: Whosoever he be of the house of Israel, or of the strangers in Israel, that bringeth his offering, whether it be any of their vows, or any of their free-will-offerings, which are brought unto the LORD for a burnt-offering;

לִֽרְצֹנְכֶ֑ם תָּמִ֣ים זָכָ֔ר בַּבָּקָ֕ר בַּכְּשָׂבִ֖ים וּבָֽעִזִּֽים׃
