1) Ch. 9, v. 21: "V'naaloh he'onon v'nosso'u" - In 10:5 the verse says "Us'ka'tem tru'oh v'nossu." Do they travel by virtue of the trumpet signals or the movement of the clouds of glory?
2) Ch. 11, v. 5: "Zocharnu es haDOGOH" – What is "dog" and what is "dogoh?"
3) Ch. 11, v. 22: "Kol d'gei ha'yom yei'o'seif" - We find that the bnei Yisroel demanded of Moshe to supply them with meat. Yet we see that Moshe mentioned to Hashem that if there were a possibility to amass the fish of the sea, then the bnei Yisroel's demand would be met. The Mogein Avrohom and the Machatzis Ha'shekel on O.Ch. #249 (s.k. 6) both say that one should make sure to serve meat at a meal celebrating a bris miloh. MVRHRH"G Rabbi Yaakov Kamenecki zt"l said that if one were to serve fish instead, he would also be considered as having served meat. A proof for this is that we find that the bnei Yisroel demanded meat and Moshe said that by serving them fish their demand would be fulfilled. We see that fish is also considered meat.
Shulchan Oruch Y.D. 13:1 rules that fish require no ritual slaughtering, shechitoh. This is derived from our verse which says that if bnei Yisroel were to receive meat it would require shechitoh, "Hatzone u'vokor YISHOCHEIT lo'hem." However, by fish it says "yei'o'seif," that they only require gathering.
Besides the obvious prohibition to not consume non-kosher fish, as detailed in parshios Shmini and R'ei, are there any circumstances where kosher fish may not be eaten?
4) Ch. 12, v. 8: "Peh el peh ada'beir BO" – The verse should have said "ada'beir LO."
5) Ch. 12, v. 10: "V’hi'nei Miryom m'tzoraas" – And behold Miriam is afflicted with tzoraas – Aharon was a partner in this wrongdoing. Was he also afflicted as was Miriam?
