|
וַיֹּאמֶר ה' אֶל־אַֽהֲרֹן.
לְמֹשֶׁה אָמַר שֶׁיֹּאמַר לְאַהֲרֹן, לְהַזְהִירוֹ עַל תַּקָּנַת יִשְׂרָאֵל שֶׁלֹּא יִכָּנְסוּ לַמִּקְדָּשׁ:

|
| 5You must keep the charge of the Sanctuary and the charge of the Altar, so that Divine wrath never again be directed against the Israelites. |

|
וְלֹא־יִֽהְיֶה עוֹד קֶצֶף.
כְּמוֹ שֶׁהָיָה כְבָר, שֶׁנֶּאֱמַר (במדבר י"ז) "כִּי יָצָא הַקֶּצֶף" (ספרי):

| 8God told Aaron, “Behold, I have given you the charge of My raised-offerings. I have thus given you all the holy things of the Israelites as a sign of eminence and as an eternal portion for your descendants. |
|
חוַיְדַבֵּ֣ר יְהֹוָה֘ אֶל־אַֽהֲרֹן֒ וַֽאֲנִי֙ הִנֵּ֣ה נָתַ֣תִּי לְךָ֔ אֶת־מִשְׁמֶ֖רֶת תְּרֽוּמֹתָ֑י לְכָל־קָדְשֵׁ֣י בְנֵֽי־יִשְׂרָאֵ֠ל לְךָ֙ נְתַתִּ֧ים לְמָשְׁחָ֛ה וּלְבָנֶ֖יךָ לְחָק־עוֹלָֽם: |
| וַֽאֲנִי הִנֵּה נָתַתִּי לְךָ - Behold, I have given you - with joy. This instance of הִנֵּה denotes joy, as in: “Indeed, he will be setting out (הִנֵּה הוּא יֹצֵא) to meet you, and when he sees you, his heart will be glad.” This can be compared to a king who gave a field to his friend but did not write or sign any document attesting to the gift, nor did he have it recorded in court. Someone came and laid claim to the field. The king said: “I see now that anyone who wishes can come and lay claim against you; I will therefore write and sign a deed of gift for you and have it recorded in court.” The same applies here: because Korach came and challenged Aaron’s right to the priesthood, Scripture came and gave him the 24 priestly entitlements with an eternal covenant similar to the one that God made with salt, and therefore this passage is placed here. |

וַֽאֲנִי הִנֵּה נָתַתִּי לְךָ.

כָּל־טָהוֹר.

| כַּֽחֲזֵה הַתְּנוּפָה וּכְשׁוֹק הַיָּמִין - Like the waved breast and the right hind midleg - of personal peace-offerings, which may be eaten by the priests, their wives, their children, and their bondservants, during the two days and one intervening night after they are slaughtered. The same applies to the firstborn animal; it may be eaten during these two days and one night. |

|
| לָּךְ יִֽהְיֶה־ - It will be yours. Reinforcing the above ruling, Rabbi Akiva came and taught: By repeating these words, Scripture teaches you an additional “being for you,” so that you not say it is like the breast and hind midleg of the thanksgiving-offering, which may be eaten only for the one day it is slaughtered and the following night. |

לָּךְ יִֽהְיֶה־.
