Tsav
G-d instructs Moses to command Aaron and his sons regarding
their duties and rights as Kohanim ("priests") who offer the
korbanot (animal and meal offerings) in the Sanctuary.
The fire on the Altar must be kept burning at all times. In it
are burned the wholly consumed Ascending Offering; veins of fat
from the Peace, Sin, and Guilt Offerings; and the "handful"
separated from the Meal Offering. |
 |
The Kohanim eat the meat of the Sin and Guilt Offerings and the
remainder of the Meal Offering. The Peace Offering is eaten by
the one who brought it, except for specified portions given to
the Kohen. The holy meat of the offerings must be eaten by
ritually pure persons, in their designated holy place, and
within their specified time.
Aaron and his sons remain within the Sanctuary compound for
seven days, during which Moses initiates them into the
priesthood.
