Vayikra
G-d calls to Moses from the Tent of Meeting, and communicates to him the laws of the korbanot, the animal and meal offerings brought in the Sanctuary. These include:
The “ascending offering” (olah) that is wholly raised to G-d by the fire atop the Altar;
Five varieties of “meal offering” (minchah) prepared with fine flour, olive oil and frankincense;
The “peace offering” (shelamim), whose meat was eaten by the one bringing the offering, after parts are burned on the Altar and parts are given to the Kohanim (priests);
The different types of “sin offering” (chatat) brought to atone for transgressions committed erroneously by the High Priest, the entire community, the king, or the ordinary Jew;
The “guilt offering” (asham) brought by one who has appropriated property of the Sanctuary, who is in doubt as to whether he transgressed a divine prohibition, or who has committed a “betrayal against G-d” by swearing falsely to defraud a fellow man.
