Tzav

Leviticus 6:1-8:36

In this Torah portion, God continues to describe the different laws of sacrifices. A distinction is made between sin offerings, burnt offerings, and homage offerings, with each following its own process. God then commands the priests to make another offering which ordains themselves in their positions.
