Guiding Questions: Leviticus 2

This is part of the Tanakh Yomi Project.

  1. How, basically (in its content), does the Minhah differ from the “burnt offering?”
  2. Is there any specific purpose stated or bringing a Minhah?
  3. In Lev 2:1, does “nefesh” mean male or female, or only male?
  4. Is the Minhah offered in only one mode or can it, too, vary as did the olah?
  5. Does the assisting Kohen receive any portion of the Minhah?
  6. In Lev 2:11 there is a specific prohibition re: offering leavening of any kind or honey; why might that be?
  7. But these prohibited substances can be brought as a “first offering” not to be placed on the altar. What is the “first offering?”
  8. What is mandated as a “must” to accompany the offering (Lev 2:13)?
