Considering that Sefer Vayikra is primarily a book of laws, it would certainly be appropriate to conclude those laws by explaining their reward – and that is exactly what we find in Parshat Bechukotai! Review Vayikra chapter 26 – better known as the ‘tochacha’ – noting how it describes the reward (/or punishment) for keeping (/or defying) God’s laws.
Hence, chapter 26 forms a fitting conclusion for the entire book. So why does Sefer Vayikra add one additional chapter (see chapter 27 /the laws of ‘erchin’) immediately afterward?
In this week’s shiur we attempt to explain why.
