Why does the Torah juxtapose the Parshah of Kashrus to that of Korbanos?

1.

Oznayim la'Torah: a. To permit many species which are not KAsher to go on the Mizbe'ach. b. Because whatever is forbidden to a Hedyot ? such as a Tereifah, 1 is obviously forbidden to go on the Mizbe'ach.

Refer to 11:2:2:2.

3)

Who is "Aleihem" referring to?

1.

Rashi and Targum Yonasan: It refers to Aharon's sons.

2.

Rashbam: It refers to Moshe and Aharon. 1 This proves that every "Vayedaber Hashem el Moshe Leimor" means 'to Moshe to inform Aharon.

3.

Moshav Zekenim (citing R. Yehudah ha'Chasid): 'Tell the hunters who recognize these species 2 to trap them and show them to Yisrael. Otherwise, how will Yisrael in the Midbar know what they are'?

1

See Rashbam.

Peres and Ozniyah (among the Tamei birds) are not commonly found in settled areas (Chulin 63a). Hashem showed each species to Moshe, but how will Yisrael recognize them, if hunters do not show them to them?

4)

Bearing in mind that the Torah repeats the word "Leimor" in the following Pasuk, what is "Leimor" here referring to?

1.

Targum Yonasan: It is a warning a. that Yisrael should eat their food be'Taharah and b. against eating the eighteen T'reifos. 1
