What do we learn from "v'Kater me'Chametz Todah"?

1.

Rashi (4, citing Targum Yonasan): Me'Chametz is [something obtained] via Ones (extortion), like "Ashru Chamutz" (Yeshayah 1:17), "mi'Kaf Me'avel v'Chometz" (Tehilim 71:4).

2.

Rashi (4): [Priests of the Ba'al say,] the Torah forbids "Se'or Lo Saktiru" (Vayikra 2:11); idolatry permits Haktarah of Chametz in a Todah.

3.

Radak (4): The Torah said "Al Chalos Lechem Chametz Yakriv Korbano" (Vayikra 7:13) ? they do so to idolatry. Even though [Kohanim] did not burn the Chametz, they did burn the Emunah from the Korban [Todah] that comes with Chametz. The idolaters burned the Chametz.

4.

Malbim: They announced that they should burn Todah from Chametz, just like in Beis Hashem they offered Todah with loaves of Chametz.

What do we learn from "v'Kir'u Nedavos Hashmi'u"

1.

Rashi: They sang, and said 'this Korban is pleasing [to the idolatry] and accepted.'

2.

Rashi (4): [Priests of the Ba'al say,] the Torah said "Lo Se'acher Leshalmo" (Devarim 23:22); idolatry says to remind everyone who volunteered and forgot ? he will put to his heart and remember 1 .

3.

Radak: You do like a "Mikra Kodesh" to idolatry. You announce that the nation bring voluntary offerings on the day of the festival!

4.

Malbim: Aside from obligatory Korbanos, they called Nedavos ? everyone should bring what his heart volunteers.

I.e. there is no punishment for bringing late. (PF)

What do we learn from "Hashmi'u"?

1.

Malbim: They announced all these matters, "for so you, Bnei Yisrael, loved" serving the calves and their Korbanos.
