Pinchas - 6th Portion

Join me as we learn for Friday Parshat Pinchas, the sixth Torah reading chapter 28 verse 16. Yesterday we began to learn the different sacrifices that were brought special on each one of the holidays. Yesterday we discussed the ones that were brought on Shabbat and Rosh Chodesh. Today we continue with the ones that were brought on Pesach and on Shavuot as well and the core and the sacrifice of the Omer. Verse 16. On the first day of the In the first month of the 14th day of the month Pesach should be celebrated Pesach for God. Bringing the Passover offerings for God. Verse 17. On the 15th day of this month Hag is considered a holiday. Shiva's Yamin Matzah for seven days Matzah should be eaten. For 18. On the first day is considered a holy occasion. No you must not perform any mundane work even if it entails a loss. Different to when it comes intermediate days that one is allowed to work if there's a monetary loss and as we'll soon see the difference. Rashi Even a work which is required that you need to do but all of it something which you may lose come to a loss of money because of it which is usually permissible on the intermediate days. However, which be prohibited on Yom Tov. Verse 19. And you will bring then a sacrifice and a sent offering to God. A young bull and part of the two young bulls and one ram and six and seven sheep which are a year old to minimum on you will have which should be for you. Rashi part of why you're bringing the cow, the bulls, can I get a ram because Abraham at this time as we know according to some was actually on Pesach and over here Abraham went and he brought the cattle and to serve his guest. That's why we're bringing the the bulls on Pesach. Ailim Ailish Yitzchak. The ram that was found instead of Yitzchak when he was brought as a sacrifice. And the sheep can I get Yakov because we find by Yakov of him Yakov that when Yakov was by Lavan he had to separate which sheep will belong to him and which will belong to Lavan. These are the reasons why we find rams, sheep, and bulls that were brought on the holidays. This is the way it's explained in the days. I saw this by the explanation of the Hadarshan. And in their meal offering shall be full of will be fine flour mixed with oil 3/10 of an three tenths of an efa >> [snorts] >> for the bull and two tenths of the efa for the ram. That so you should do. Verse 21, you suddenly toss a and you must offer 1/10 of an efa for the one sheep the sheep for each one of all the seven lambs that you will be bringing. Verse 22, as well as you must offer one young male goat as a sin offering to atone for you. Verse 23, besides the morning and the afternoon offering which is offered on a continual basis and therefore those are called the carbon continuously every single day they brought those offerings. Verse 24, like you these you must offer now for every single day shiva's yamin for 7 days they are considered as a food as a fire offering for God the whole all the following the morning ritual of bringing the continual offering which is the constant offering the tamid offering every morning together with its meal offerings and wine libations then you bring these additional offerings. Verse 24 shall you in contrary to the way it is on Sukkot as we're soon going to see later that every single day they brought less sacrifices the first day seven then six and so on when it comes to Pesach every single day was the exact same amount therefore uses the terminology like these you will do for 7 days as well. Verse 25 and on the fifth on the seventh day is considered a holy day and should be for you come no work no mundane work should not be should be performed. >> [snorts] >> Verse 26 Now we move on to the next holiday which is the holiday of called in the Torah Yamin Habikurim. Yamin Habikurim and on the day when you bring the first fruit when you're going to bring a new meal offering when you're going to bring a offer a meal offering to God when I shall be sure in the weeks meaning the festival that occurs after 7 weeks this is going to be a holy day for you call any mundane work should not be performed Rashi and the Yamin Habikurim and the day that the Bikurim is brought the festival of is considered the festival of when the fruit become when the wheat becomes ripe this is also because the two special breads that were brought with the sacrifice in contrast to any other time there was never brought chametz in the Holy Temple. This was the first of the sacrifices of the wheat offerings that were brought from the new wheat, from the new fresh wheat that was just recently cut. When it comes to the Omer offering, that was from barley. However, the wheat only came about Shavuot because it was cut later. The barley was cut earlier and that's why first they brought the sacrifice of the barley as well. Over here, if you notice something interesting, the Torah does not give date to Shavuot. It just says "Bo Shavuot Aichem Sheva Weeks Later." Assuming you have to count the seven weeks from that you know that you have to count from Pesach, as mentioned many times, Shavuot is the only holiday that the Torah does never never gives a specific date. It's more 50 days after Pesach. >> [snorts] >> Verse 27. You brought the male of the rain of last year and you will bring a descent offering as a as an appeasing to God. Part of the buckets going to be bulls, which are young bulls, two of them. One ram, seven sheep and a shana that are a year old. Verse 28. You brought some You say this will and their meal offering will be refined flour of refined flour mixed with oil. Three tenths three tenths of an three tenths to for the bull and three tenths and two tenths of an for the ram. Verse 29. You say you say like a heart. One tenth of an for each one of the lambs for all seven lambs. Verse 30. See these of the capital of the and one goat to atone for the sin to atone for their sins. Verse 31. That is all this is to the exclusion besides the very fact that you're bringing the constant ascent offering and it's meal offering. You should do those unblemished as well. You should be for you and their libations. Rashi, meaning that libations as well should be unblemished. What does it mean unblemished? That if you have wine that in the wine you have um you have like little pieces, sediment, which would make it unfit to be used for wine libation. It have to be pure oil and therefore for I'm sorry, pure wine and any wine that would look spoiled in any shape or form is not allowed to be used for the wine libations. Chapter 29, verse 1. We now continue with the holiday of Rosh Hashanah. On the seventh month, the first month, make it a special day of holiness for you. No work should be done. No mundane work should be performed. It must be a day of sounding the shofar for you. Verse two. You will then offer an ascent offering to please God. A young bull, one of them, one ram, and one year old lamb, seven of them, four that are unblemished. Verse three. And their meal offering will be a flower refined flower that's mixed with oil. Three tenths of an acre for the bull and two tenths for the ram. And one tenth for each one of the sheep for every one of those seven sheep that you're bringing, seven lamb. Verse five. One sin offering, one young goat as a sin offering to atone for you. Verse six. This is besides this is So you're already also bringing the ascent offering for Rosh Chodesh and its meal offering. And the constant offering, the continual offering. It's a constant and its grain and its libations, as the rules are laid out. They actually should be done as they should be done as a fire offering to please God. Rashi which is referring to the sacrifices which were brought for the additional uh for because it's Rosh Chodesh, they'll be brought as well on Rosh Hashanah because it's also the first day of the month. Verse seven. We now learn about the sacrifices brought on Yom Kippur. On the 10th day of the seventh month, it's going to be a day of holiness for you. It's going to be a day of holiness for you. And you You must afflict your souls. No work must be performed. He craft them. Verse seven. He craft them. I'm sorry, verse eight. He craft them. You will bring in a burnt offering to God as a pleasing offering. One bull, one one young bull, one ram, lambs that are a year old, seven of them unblemished should be for you. And their offerings refined flour mixed with oil, 3/10 of an for each bull, 2/10 of the for each ram. You're going to have 1/10 of a for each lamb, for all seven lambs. Verse 11. Besides that, you're going to have one goat which is for a sin offering. This is all in addition to that. In addition to the burnt offerings and libations that were brought as the continual burnt offerings and its grain offerings and the sin offerings that were brought on Yom Kippur. As we see, Rashi says, "A sore and also the beginning of the park and moisture got more hot as this is referring to besides the sin offering which means there was the goat." If you recall in the when we learned in the book of Leviticus that there were two goats, one that was sent to Azazel and then there was another goat that was a sin offering brought in the holy temple. And that one [snorts] was done actually on the inside. It's was the only sacrifice ever that there was some blood of it brought on the inside of the holy temple as described in the book of Leviticus. That was also considered a sin offering. And over here, they're bringing another sin offering like we find in every holiday a sin offering was brought. For all of us are coming. All of us are coming to the all of us are coming to the all of us are coming to the besides the continual offering that's done every single day, you're going to do these ascent offerings as well. Finish game and it's libations. Most of all of these are suffering. When we talk about over here, it's not talking about the wine libations on the that were brought on the constant offerings. He's talking about the additional sacrifices that are brought. Those additional sacrifices that are brought, they're wine libations as well. As he says this in the commandment, then he says it this way. All of us are coming to the all of us are coming to the all of us are coming to the besides the constant offering and it's meal offering. All of us are coming to the all of us are coming to the all of us are coming to the all of us are coming to the all of us are coming to the additional offerings, these additional sacrifices and their wine libations. The whole thing comes to game and what do we call them anytime we find them when it talks about the wine libations that are mentioned that throughout all the holidays and festivals and the sacrifices that were brought with them. All of us are coming to the all of us are coming to the all of us are coming to the all of us are coming to the ones. It's talking about on the additional sacrifices besides when it comes to the ones for Sukkot. Those are referring to the actual communi- constant offering which is the tamid and however, he doesn't use the terminology and you said that you shall do that meaning besides doing that being that I already commanded you to do it by the most of offerings because on Sukkot um the it doesn't you don't find a particular commandment specifically for a child in this game because as you're going to see the Torah repeats it and says every single day what the specific libations are done for that specific day. As we get to it, we'll see it there. This concludes the sixth Torah reading of Parshat Pinchas.
