Guiding Questions: Leviticus 5

This is part of the Tanakh Yomi Project.

  1. What categories of transgression are noted in Lev 5:1-4 and is inadvertence noted in any of these categories?
  2. What is “new” in Lev 5:5?
  3. In Lev 5:6 how does “ashamo” differ from what has preceded, i.e. “korbano?”
  4. Why might the call for offering in this instance (Lev 5:6) specify a female?
  5. How do Lev 5:7-11 reaffirm the persistent consideration for the economic means of the individual Israelite?
  6. What (Lev 5:10) is the “yield” of this korban?
  7. How does the mitzvah violation in Lev 5:15 et seq differ from that which preceded?
  8. From Lev 5:21-26 what type of “transgression” is described — individual or transitive — inter-personal?
  9. In these instances, over and above bringing a korban, what is stipulated as essential to precede and validate the korban (Lev 5:23)?
