  • The [Kohanim who are] Levites are to set up shifts and rotations of Avoda in the Temple and they may eat portions of the Karbanos that are designated for them.

 

  1. Mitzvos relating to not resemble the Canaanite nations:
    • Upon entering the Promised Land you shall not learn from their abominations.
    • Moleich: You shall not pass your sons and daughters through the fire.
    • Divination and witchcraft: You shall not practice Kesima/divination, Meonein, superstitions, or sorcery. You may not perform Chaver/Charms. You may not seek the service of an Ov. Not to seek the service of a Yidoni. You may not consult the dead. All the above are abominations for which the nations were banished from the land. Be wholehearted with Hashem.
