Parashat
Tzav (Command)
Sacrifices
are all over the book of Leviticus. The details and repetitions may make it
look an arid and "boring" text.
Part
of the richness of the repetitions lays in minor changes that may happen and
sometimes are "invisible."
In
this section we find again a list of the sacrifices that were brought at the
Tabernacle.
There
is a common ground among all of them but one. All the sacrifices are to be
eaten on the day (and the night) they are brought.
The
only exception is the "Zevah Shelamim." For that sacrifice, people
had two days and one night of time to eat it.
Shelamim
comes from the word "shalem" and "shalom" - wholeness
and peace.
Sometimes
we need more time to achieve wholeness and to make peace.
It
is just a matter of time.
