"ve'es Shok ha'Yamin Titnu Terumah". Why does the Torah insert the words "Titnu" (which is unusual) and "Terumah" (which is superfluous?

1.

Chulin, 132b: "Titnu" teaches us that the Zero'a Besheilah (the cooked foreleg) of a Nazir, and the Zero'a (Lechayayim and Keivah) of Chulin too, must be given to a Kohen. 1

See Torah Temimah note 132.

2)

Why is the right calf of the Yisrael's Shelamim given to the Kohanim?

1.

Seforno: It is akin to giving the king's servant a gift in honor of the king.

3)

Seeing as the Chazeh and the Shok are both a gift to the Kohen, why are they mentioned separately - the Chazeh together with the Chalavim, the Shok independently?

1.

Ramban: Refer to 10:15:1:1*.

2.

Oznayim la'Torah: Bearing in mind the fact that the Kohanim are the Sheluchim both of Hashem and of the people, they need to receive a gift from the portions of both. Consequently, they take the Chazeh from the portion that goes to Hashem, 1 and the Shok from that of the owner. 2

Oznayim la'Torah: Which is why it is mentioned together with the Chalavim.

Refer also to 7:34:1:1:2.
