Parsha Illuminated - Titzaveh: Olives & Stones

What’s said in this shiur

The opening of this shiur, in Rabbi Hillel Shaps’s own words — taken from the captions, so names and Hebrew terms may be approximate.

paraa illuminated for para Tav and we find ourselves in the middle of the instructions for building the mishkon for building the Tabernacle last week the Torah went through how to build almost all the vessels of the mishan as well as the the walls and the the roof and the framework for the the the edifice itself and much of this para edifice itself and much of this para deals with how to create the clothes for the kohanim for the priests and then actually the inauguration how to inaugurate the kohanim um but at the very beginning of the paraa it seems to digress from this a little bit and it begins with a commandment regarding the oil that would be used to light the manura and it seems a bit out of place manura and it seems a bit out of place because this relates not to the building of the mishan but the service of the mishan the oil that would be used in writing the manura is not part of the building of the mishkan nor of the clothes for the kohanim so what is it doing here so theam s has an interesting suggestion theam sopur says that actually maybe it is in a certain way part of the building of the Mishka he part of the building of the Mishka he quotes from the Dum in last week's paraa who are commenting actually on a verse there that also mentions the oil it says Shem L you when it's discussing what the uh what they are to donate so it mentions the oil and it mentions spices for the anointing oil
