What is "Cheilek ke'Cheilek Yocheilu" coming to teach us?

1.

Rashi: Refer to 18:6:3:2. It teaches us that Kohanim who come to the Beis-Hamikdash during Yom-Tov, even when it is not their turn to serve, share in the skins of the Korbanos of Yom-Tov and the meat of the Se'irei Chata'os of Yom-Tov. 1

2.

Seforno: It means that the Mishmaros (groups) of Kohanim, each of which served one or two weeks in the year in the Beis-Hamikdash, would only receive a portion in the Korbanos of the year what they traded with each other 2 ('We will receive your portion this week, when we are serving, and the week that you serve, you will receive our portion'). 3

3.

Toras Moshe: It implies that a Ba'al Teshuvah receives a share in Gan Eden like Tzadikim. Refer to 18:6:151:3.

4.

Sukah, 56a: With reference to the Lechem ha'Panim, it teaches us that when Yom-Tov falls on Shabbos, all twenty-four groups of Kohanim share in the distribution of the Lechem ha'Panim. 4


1

Refer to 18:9:1:1.

2

Refer to 18:8:2:1*.

3

This did not apply to the Yamim-Tovim however, when all the Mishmatros served and reveived a portion in the Korbanos.

4

See Torah Temimah, citing Sukah (Ibid.) and notes 54-56.

2)

What is "L'vad Mimkarav al ha'Avos" coming to teach us?

1.

Rashi #1: It precludes the Tamid and the Musaf of Shabbos during Yom-Tov and Nedarim and Nedavos, which the Kohanim whose turn it was that week sacrificed. 1

2.

Rashi #2 (in Bava Kama, 109b): It refer to the agreement that their Avos made in the time of David and Shmuel, when the Mishmaros of Kohanim were instituted, whereby the groups sold the rights to one another 'You take your week and I will take my week!'

3.

Seforno: Refer to 18:8:1:2. It teaches us that during the year, when it is possible to exchange one week for another, the Avos instituted Mishmaros, where one group swaps with another.

4.

Rashbam: It precludes a Kohen, who is permitted to bring a Korban even when it is not his turn to serve in the Beis-Hamikdash ? and even 2 on behalf of a relative from his father's family. 3

5.

Targum Yonasan: It precludes what the Kohen leaves over after he has eaten, which he is permitted to sell to another Kohen. 4


1

See answer #2.

2

Refer to 18:7:1:1.

3

Rashbam: As in Melachim 2, 12:6.

4

See Na'ar Yonasan and K'li Yakar.

3)

Who are the "Avos" who fixed the Mishmaros?

1.

Rashi: 'The Mishmaros were fixed in the days of David and Shmuel' - which presumably means that they were fixed under their auspices.

2.

Targum Yonasan: Elazar and Isamar. 1

See Oznayim la'Torah, who elaborates and who points out how the Torah hints at the Mishmaros which Elazar and Isamar instituted hundreds of years before it became necessary to put them into practice.
