Vayikra (Leviticus) Chapter 8

30Moses took some of the anointing oil and some of the blood that was on the Altar and mixed them together. He dashed the mixture on Aaron, on his garments, on his sons, and on his sons’ garments with him, and he thereby sanctified Aaron, his garments, his sons, and his sons’ garments with him.   לוַיִּקַּ֨ח משֶׁ֜ה מִשֶּׁ֣מֶן הַמִּשְׁחָ֗ה וּמִן־הַדָּם֘ אֲשֶׁ֣ר עַל־הַמִּזְבֵּ֒חַ֒ וַיַּ֤ז עַל־אַֽהֲרֹן֙ עַל־בְּגָדָ֔יו וְעַל־בָּנָ֛יו וְעַל־בִּגְדֵ֥י בָנָ֖יו אִתּ֑וֹ וַיְקַדֵּ֤שׁ אֶת־אַֽהֲרֹן֙ אֶת־בְּגָדָ֔יו וְאֶת־בָּנָ֛יו וְאֶת־בִּגְדֵ֥י בָנָ֖יו אִתּֽוֹ:
31Moses said to Aaron and to his sons, “Cook the meat inside the Courtyard, outside the entrance to the Tent of Meeting, and eat it there, along with the bread that is in the basket of the installation-offerings, as I have commanded, saying, ‘Aaron and his sons must eat it.’   לאוַיֹּ֨אמֶר משֶׁ֜ה אֶל־אַֽהֲרֹ֣ן וְאֶל־בָּנָ֗יו בַּשְּׁל֣וּ אֶת־הַבָּשָׂר֘ פֶּ֣תַח אֹ֣הֶל מוֹעֵד֒ וְשָׁם֙ תֹּֽאכְל֣וּ אֹת֔וֹ וְאֶ֨ת־הַלֶּ֔חֶם אֲשֶׁ֖ר בְּסַ֣ל הַמִּלֻּאִ֑ים כַּֽאֲשֶׁ֤ר צִוֵּ֨יתִי֙ לֵאמֹ֔ר אַֽהֲרֹ֥ן וּבָנָ֖יו יֹֽאכְלֻֽהוּ:
32You must burn whatever part of the meat and the bread that is left over.   לבוְהַנּוֹתָ֥ר בַּבָּשָׂ֖ר וּבַלָּ֑חֶם בָּאֵ֖שׁ תִּשְׂרֹֽפוּ:
33You must not leave the entrance to the Courtyard of the Tent of Meeting, for seven days, until the day that completes your installation days, for He will install you into the priesthood for seven days.   לגוּמִפֶּ֩תַח֩ אֹ֨הֶל מוֹעֵ֜ד לֹ֤א תֵֽצְאוּ֙ שִׁבְעַ֣ת יָמִ֔ים עַ֚ד י֣וֹם מְלֹ֔את יְמֵ֖י מִלֻּֽאֵיכֶ֑ם כִּ֚י שִׁבְעַ֣ת יָמִ֔ים יְמַלֵּ֖א אֶת־יֶדְכֶֽם:
34As He has done on this day, so has God commanded me to do to atone for you.   לדכַּֽאֲשֶׁ֥ר עָשָׂ֖ה בַּיּ֣וֹם הַזֶּ֑ה צִוָּ֧ה יְהֹוָ֛ה לַֽעֲשׂ֖ת לְכַפֵּ֥ר עֲלֵיכֶֽם:
צִוָּה ה' לַֽעֲשׂת - So God has commanded to do - on each of the seven days of installation. Our rabbis, 1 however, explained: לַעֲשֹׂת “to do” refers to the procedure of the red cow; לְכַפֵּר “to atone” refers to the service of Yom Kippur, and thus this verse teaches us that the high priest must separate from his wife for seven days before Yom Kippur, and so must the priest who burns the red cow.   צִוָּה ה' לַֽעֲשׂת.  כָּל שִׁבְעַת הַיָּמִים; וְרַבּוֹתֵינוּ דָרְשׁוּ, לעשת — זֶה מַעֲשֵׂה פָרָה, לכפר — זֶה מַעֲשֵׂה יוֹם הַכִּפּוּרִים, וּלְלַמֵּד שֶׁכֹּהֵן גָּדוֹל טָעוּן פְּרִישָׁה קֹדֶם יוֹם הַכִּפּוּרִים שִׁבְעַת יָמִים, וְכֵן הַכֹּהֵן הַשּׂוֹרֵף אֶת הַפָּרָה (ספרא):
35You must remain day and night for seven days at the entrance to the Courtyard of the Tent of Meeting, keeping God’s watch, in order that you not die, for thus I was commanded.”   להוּפֶ֩תַח֩ אֹ֨הֶל מוֹעֵ֜ד תֵּֽשְׁב֨וּ יוֹמָ֤ם וָלַ֨יְלָה֙ שִׁבְעַ֣ת יָמִ֔ים וּשְׁמַרְתֶּ֛ם אֶת־מִשְׁמֶ֥רֶת יְהֹוָ֖ה וְלֹ֣א תָמ֑וּתוּ כִּי־כֵ֖ן צֻוֵּֽיתִי:
וְלֹא תָמוּתוּ - In order that you not die. This implies that if you do not do so, you will be liable for the death penalty.   וְלֹא תָמוּתוּ.  הָא אִם לֹא תַעֲשׂוּ כֵן הֲרֵי אַתֶּם חַיָּבִים מִיתָה:
36Aaron and his sons did all the things that God had commanded them to do through Moses.   לווַיַּ֥עַשׂ אַֽהֲרֹ֖ן וּבָנָ֑יו אֵ֚ת כָּל־הַדְּבָרִ֔ים אֲשֶׁר־צִוָּ֥ה יְהֹוָ֖ה בְּיַד־משֶֽׁה:
וַיַּעַשׂ אַֽהֲרֹן וּבָנָיו - Aaron and his sons did. This is stated in order to recount their praise, that they veered neither right nor left from what they had been told to do. End of Parashat Tzav   וַיַּעַשׂ אַֽהֲרֹן וּבָנָיו.  לְהַגִּיד שִׁבְחָן, שֶׁלֹא הִטּוּ יָמִין וּשְֹמֹאל:
