For the certification of Kō•han•imꞋ, Mōsh•ëhꞋ was required to first bring a national pâr ha-khat•âtꞋ before é‑‑ä (i.e. the pëtꞋakh of the ŌꞋhël Mō•eidꞋ). A•ha•rōnꞋ and his four sons were then required to rest their hands on its head and shō•kheitꞋ it. “With your finger,” Mōsh•ëhꞋ instructed the kō•han•imꞋ, “you shall take from the dâm of the par and render it upon the që•rën•ōtꞋ of the mi•zᵊbeiꞋakh. Then pour out the remainder of the dâm toward the base of the mi•zᵊbeiꞋakh. more

Then take all of the kheiꞋlëvꞋ that encases the innards, the kâ•veidꞋ and both ki•lᵊyâhꞋ, with the kheiꞋlëvꞋ that encases them, and hi•qᵊtirꞋ them on the windward side of the mi•zᵊbeiꞋakh so that the savory smoke wafts toward the mi•zᵊbeiꞋakh, mingling with the smoke of the sacrifice.

And the bâ•sârꞋ of the par, along with its hide and its poop, you must incinerate in fire outside of the camp. It is a khat•âtꞋ.

b. AꞋyil  ha-Ōl•âhꞋ: thanksgiving of elimination of personal impurity for a sᵊmikh•âhꞋ (Simultaneously also an Ish•ëhꞋ QᵊtōrꞋët)

For the AꞋyil  ha-Ōl•âhꞋ, A•ha•rōnꞋ and his four sons were required to first rest their hands on the head of aꞋyil #1 and then shō•kheitꞋ it. Next, they were required to take its dâm and slosh it around the base of the mi•zᵊbeiꞋakh. Then they washed its innards and legs, and placed all its parts together, including its head, on the mi•zᵊbeiꞋakh, where it was entirely burned-up in smoke. It was an ōl•âhꞋ for é‑‑ä, a savory aroma of the mi•zᵊbeiꞋakh-​grill; an ish•ëhꞋ for é‑‑ä.


Optional parental preparation:

  1. Explain the relationship in Hebrew between shëvꞋa (to vow an oath), shâvuꞋa (a week).

  2. Explain the interconnections between Israel as a nation; the am of the bᵊrit, a geographical country and a state.

  3.   Pâr — Valuated in 2019 currency, this court-imposed fine specifying a bull approximates ₪20,000 (at the current exchange rate of ≈3.6, $5,000).Return to text

  4. What does it mean to commission someone or something? Certification/certify? A liter (especially those who aren’t on the metric standard)? Virgin-crush olive-oil? Convoke and convocation? To neighbor (as a verb)? How does one gild something? Where is the kidney and liver and what are their functions? Which is the windward side?

  5.   AꞋyil — Valuated in 2019 currency, an average aꞋyil approximates ₪2,000 (@ 3.6 exchange rate ≈$500).Return to text

Questions you might anticipate that your child might raise and be prepared to discuss:

  1. Due to the linguistic complexity of this pâ•râsh•âhꞋ for non-Hebrew speakers, probably for several years emphasis should focus on explaining and relating only one or two unfamiliar Hebrew terms, which the parent feels are most important to the theme, when relating this story.

  2. What does inadvertent mean? Yearling? Pre-dusk? To stray? Encase? Innards?
