  2. In Lev 7:7 what provision is made for the Kohanim?
  3. How does Lev 7:13 depart from prior regulations regarding korbanot?
  4. When (Lev 7:16-21) is eating of the korban not acceptable and, indeed, transgressive in nature?
  5. In Lev 7:23 et seq, does the text deal with korbanot or food per se (see Lev 7:25)?
  6. As to the blood, is the prohibition universal or limited to korbanot (Lev 7:26-27)?
  7. What relationship is set forth in Lev 7:28-38 re: offerings, the Israelite bringing, and the Kohen, not specified previously?
  8. How durable are the regulations posited in this section (Lev 7:34) and with what “authority?”
  9. In Lev 7:37 what is the meaning of the word “Torah” in this context?
  10. In Lev 7:38, what historical setting is described for the preceding regulations and what “authority” does this setting bring in its wake?
