Daily Chumash Naso Tuesday – Expelling the impure from the camp
Hashem spoke to Moshe saying that he should command Bnei Yisrael to expel from their camp any person, male or female, who is a Metzora, a Zav, or is impure to a corpse so that they do not impurify the camp in which Hashem dwells. Bnei Yisrael did as instructed.
Laws relating to one who swears falsely:
Hashem spoke to Moshe saying that he should tell Bnei Yisrael that any man or woman who has committed sacrilege against G-d [by swearing falsely regarding a stolen object] is to be held accountable. They are to confess their sin before G-d and reimburse the person [who the object was stolen from] plus an additional fifth. If the victim is not alive and does not have any heirs to whom one can return the debt, then it is to be given to the Kohanim, per Hashem’s instructions. All the above is in addition to bringing a sacrificial ram for atonement.
Giving the Kohen his designated presents:
All the donations [of Bikkurim] of the Jewish people is to be given to the Kohen. However, the donor reserves the right to decide which Kohen to give it to. One who gives the Kohen will receive [monetary blessing].
