Chamishoh Mi Yodeia – Five Questions and Answers


Blog Image: Thoughts.JPG
Parshas Emor
1) Ch. 21, v. 7: "Ishoh zonoh vachaloloh lo yikochu v'ishoh grushoh mei'ishoh" – A woman who is either a zonoh or a desecrated and a woman who is divorced from her husband – When the Torah lists the women who are prohibited to a Kohein Godol the order of these three women is reversed, "ugrushoh vachaloloh zonoh." Why?

2) Ch. 21, v. 9: "Es ovihoh hee m'cha'le'les" – Her father she profanes – Why is all the blame placed on the father, and none of it on her mother?

3) Ch. 22, v. 27: "Shor o kesev o eiz" - Why is an ox mentioned first of all the animals which are acceptable as a korbon?

4) Ch. 24, v. 10: "Va'yeitzei ben ishoh Yis'r'eilis" – And the son of an Israelite woman went out – Rashi (M.R. 32:3) asks, "From where did he leave?" Rashi answers that he left from the previous parsha of the 12 showbreads. He ridiculed the statement in verse 8 that fresh bread is offered once a week only, on Shabbos. He mockingly asked, "Does a king eat freshly baked warm bread daily, or week old bread?" Although this is insolence of the highest order, why is it called blasphemy?

5) Ch. 24, v. 22: "Mishpat echod yi'h'yeh lochem ka'geir ko'ezroch" – One law there shall be for you the same for the convert the same for the citizen – Verse 10 begins the tale of the blasphemer. It ends with verse 23, where the Torah relates that he was put to death. It is most unusual for the Torah to interrupt this with the laws of injuring and killing of people and animals. Although commentators explain this, for example: Hashem told Moshe that he who blasphemes Hashem is put to death, and hand-in-hand with this was told that Hashem likewise respects the bnei Yisroel and if they are either injured or killed retribution is likewise extracted, be it the death penalty or monetary payment, but it would seem that it would suffice to state this in a separate parsha, immediately following ours, to show the connection. Why is killing and injuring plunked down right here, without even a dividing parsha space, and a mere one verse before the completion of the blasphemer story?
