VBM Two Perspectives on the Sacrifices: On the Relationship Between Parashiot Tzav and Vayikra By Rav Mordechai Sabato

[NOTE: We would highly recommend following this shiur with a Chumash open in front of you.] I. Same Sacrifices, Different Order The first seven chapters of the Book of Vayikra deal with the various types of korbanot (sacrifices) and their halakhot. This section of the Torah is composed of two subdivisions: chapters 1-5, and chapters 6-7. The Torah deals with the same sacrifices in each section, as demonstrated in the following table: Chapters 1-5: 1: ola (burnt-offering) 2: mincha (meal-offering) 3: shelamim (peace-offering) 4-5:13: chatat (sin-offering) 5:14-26: asham (guilt-offering) Chapters 6-7: 6:1-6: ola 6:7-11: mincha [6:12-16: mincha of Aharon and his sons] 6:17-23: chatat 7:1-7: asham 7:11-36: shelamim
