What is "Mishpat ha'Kohanim"?

1.

Rashi: They made this law for themselves. The Torah entitles them only to Chazah v'Shok (Vayikra 7:31-34).

2.

Mahari Kara: The Torah says that a Kohen receives the foreleg, jaw and stomach. 1 They made a different law.

3.

Malbim: It was not Mishpat Hashem, rather, a law they established for themselves.

Indeed, the Torah calls this "Mishpat ha'Kohanim" (Devarim 18:3), but that is for a Chulin animal. What is the relevance to Korbanos?! (PF)

2)

Why does it mention "Na'ar ha'Kohen"?

1.

Malbim: This was a disgrace, that they did not take by themselves from Hashem's table, rather, through unruly, wild slaves.

3)

Which meat did they take?

1.

Radak: In addition to Chazah v'Shok, they took from the rest of the Shelamim, which belongs to the owner.

4)

Why does it mention that the fork had three prongs?

1.

Malbim: They would take three pieces (limbs). This is a large amount that the owner does not pardon.

5)

Why is Shinayim written with only one Yud?

1.

Radak: It can be read Shenayim (two), even though it had three teeth, because the teeth of people and animal are in pairs.
