1)

Why is the lamb mentioned here and not in the Parshah of the Musafim?

1.

Sifra: To teach us that all Tenufos are performed by a Kohen.

2)

What are the implications of "Va'asisem be'Yom Hanifchem es ha'Omer"?

1.

Sifra: It implies that the lamb and the Omer are not interdependent ? that one brings the lamb even if there is no Omer and vice-versa.

3)

Why were they commanded to bring only one lamb as an Olah together with the Omer, when together with the Sh'tei ha'Lechem on Shavu'os, they were told to bring a series of Korbanos with the Sh'tei ha'Lechem, including an Olah, a Chatas and a Shelamim?

1.

Oznayim la'Torah: Because, based on the distinction between the Omer and the Sh'tei ha'Lechem ? refer to 23:11:1.1:1 and note ? whereas on Shavu'os, they attained the level of human-beings, they had become worthy of bringing all the Korbanos, on Pesach, when they were still on a sub-human level, 1 they were only able to bring a Korban Beheimah ? plus a lamb as an Olah 2 ? the lamb that they worshipped in Egypt and that they sacrificed on Erev Pesach before leaving Egypt.

See Oznayim la'Torah, who elaborates.

2

This was necessary because the Omer itself was entirely eaten by the Kohanim, and part of every Korban is always given to Hashem.
