Regarding the Korban that the Kohen Gadol brings on the day of his inauguration, to whom does "Banav" refer?

1.

Rashi and Rashbam #2: It refers to the Kohanim Hedyotim 1 (on the day of their inauguration). 2

2.

Rashbam #1 and Targum Yonasan: It refers to the Kohanim Gedolim who succeed Aharon.


1

Because the Kohanim Gedolim who take over after Aharon are specifically mentioned in Pasuk 15 (Menachos, 51b).

2

As the Pasuk teaches us in Yechezkel, (Rashi in Yechezkel 44:27).

2)

What are the implications of the phrase "be'Yom Himshach oso"?

1.

Sifra: It implies that a Kohen Gadol can only be anointed in the daytime. 1


1

See Torah Temmah, note 71.

3)

Why does the Torah write "Himashach oso" and not "Himashcho"?

1.

Yerushalmi Yoma, 1:1: To teach us the prohibition of anointing two Kohanim Gedolim at the same time. 1


1

In order to avoid quarrels. See Torah Temimah, note 72.

4)

Why does the Torah add "asher Yakrivu la'Hashem "?

1.

Menachos, 51b: To teach us that Aharon and his sons may not bring one combined Minchah, but each one must bring independently.

5)

Why does the Torah insert "be'Yom Himashach oso" together with Aharon u'Vanav" ? seeing as Aharon's sons were not anointed?

1.

Menachos, 78: To teach us that the Minchas Chavitin brought by a Kohen Hedyot on the day of his inauguration had to be scalded in boiling water just like that of the Kohen Gadol. 1


1

See Pasuk 14.

6)

How much is an Asiris ha'Eifah?

1.

Targum Yonasan: An Eifah = 3 Sa'ah = 18 Kabin = 72 Lugin = 432 k'Beitzim. Consequently, 1/10 Eifah = 43.2 egg-volumes. 1


1

This is equivalent to the size of a dough from which one must separate Chalah.

7)

What is the significance of the sequence "Minchah Tamid" and then "Machtzisah ba'Boker ,.. "?

1.

Menachos, 50b: It implies that the Kohen Gadol must bring the Asiris ha'Eifah complete and halve it only afterwards. 1


1

See Torah Temimah, note 76.

8)

What does the Kohen Gadol do if, after bringing half the Minchas Chavitin in the morning, the other half becomes Tamei or gets lost?

1.

Menachos, 50b: Based on the Lashon "Machtzisah ba'Boker u'Machtzisah ba'Erev", the Minchas Chavitin must consist of two halves. Consequently, he must bring an Asiris ha'Eifah and divide it into two ? to bring one half on the Mizbe'ach and the other half to be burnt. 1


1

See Torah Temimah, note 77. Menachos (Ibid.): And the same applies in the event that, after bringing half the Minchas Chavitin, the Kohen Gadol dies. See Torah Temimah, note 78.

9)

What are the implications of the word "Tamid"?

1.

Rashi (in Tetzaveh, Sh'mos, 27:20): "Tamid" here means every day ? half in the morning and half in the afternoon.

2.

Yerushalmi Yoma, 1:1: The Torah inserts the word "Tamid" to learn via a Gezeirah Shavah "Tamid" "Tamid" from Lechem ha'Panim - in Emor, Vayikra, 24:5, that the Minchas Chavitin 1 should comprise twelve Chalos.

3.

Sifra: Because, from the day that the Kohen Gadol is anointed, he brings it as long as he lives. 2


1

So-called because the Chalos are baked in a Machavas - a flat pan (Rashi in Menachos, 7b).

2

See Torah Temimah, not 74.
