Aliya 6

וַיַּקְרֵב֙ אֶת־הָאַ֣יִל הַשֵּׁנִ֔י אֵ֖יל הַמִּלֻּאִ֑ים וַֽיִּסְמְכ֞וּ אַהֲרֹ֧ן וּבָנָ֛יו אֶת־יְדֵיהֶ֖ם עַל־רֹ֥אשׁ הָאָֽיִל׃

He brought near the second ram, the ram of investiture, the ram brought specifically in honor of the investiture ceremony in which the priests would be officially appointed to their position and invested to minister, and Aaron and his sons laid their hands on the head of the ram.

RASHI

איל המלאים.אֵיל הַשְּׁלָמִים, שֶׁמִּלּוּאִים לְשׁוֹן שְׁלָמִים, שֶׁמְּמַלְּאִין וּמַשְׁלִימִין אֶת הַכֹּהֲנִים בִּכְהֻנָּתָם:

וַיִּשְׁחָ֓ט ׀ וַיִּקַּ֤ח מֹשֶׁה֙ מִדָּמ֔וֹ וַיִּתֵּ֛ן עַל־תְּנ֥וּךְ אֹֽזֶן־אַהֲרֹ֖ן הַיְמָנִ֑ית וְעַל־בֹּ֤הֶן יָדוֹ֙ הַיְמָנִ֔ית וְעַל־בֹּ֥הֶן רַגְל֖וֹ הַיְמָנִֽית׃

He slaughtered, and Moses took from its blood and placed it on the tip of Aaron’s right ear, and upon the thumb of his right hand, and upon the big toe of his right foot.

וַיַּקְרֵ֞ב אֶת־בְּנֵ֣י אַהֲרֹ֗ן וַיִּתֵּ֨ן מֹשֶׁ֤ה מִן־הַדָּם֙ עַל־תְּנ֤וּךְ אָזְנָם֙ הַיְמָנִ֔ית וְעַל־בֹּ֤הֶן יָדָם֙ הַיְמָנִ֔ית וְעַל־בֹּ֥הֶן רַגְלָ֖ם הַיְמָנִ֑ית וַיִּזְרֹ֨ק מֹשֶׁ֧ה אֶת־הַדָּ֛ם עַל־הַֽמִּזְבֵּ֖חַ סָבִֽיב׃

He brought Aaron’s sons near, and Moses placed the blood on the tip of their right ear, and on the thumb of their right hand, and on the big toe of their right foot; and Moses cast the remaining blood around the altar.

וַיִּקַּ֞ח אֶת־הַחֵ֣לֶב וְאֶת־הָֽאַלְיָ֗ה וְאֶֽת־כָּל־הַחֵלֶב֮ אֲשֶׁ֣ר עַל־הַקֶּרֶב֒ וְאֵת֙ יֹתֶ֣רֶת הַכָּבֵ֔ד וְאֶת־שְׁתֵּ֥י הַכְּלָיֹ֖ת וְאֶֽת־חֶלְבְּהֶ֑ן וְאֵ֖ת שׁ֥וֹק הַיָּמִֽין׃

He took the fat, the fat tail, and all the fat that was upon the innards, and the diaphragm of, that is, above, the liver, and the two kidneys, and their fat, and the right haunch, and brought all of them to the altar.

וּמִסַּ֨ל הַמַּצּ֜וֹת אֲשֶׁ֣ר ׀ לִפְנֵ֣י יְהוָ֗ה לָ֠קַח חַלַּ֨ת מַצָּ֤ה אַחַת֙ וְֽחַלַּ֨ת לֶ֥חֶם שֶׁ֛מֶן אַחַ֖ת וְרָקִ֣יק אֶחָ֑ד וַיָּ֙שֶׂם֙ עַל־הַ֣חֲלָבִ֔ים וְעַ֖ל שׁ֥וֹק הַיָּמִֽין׃

From the basket of unleavened bread that was before the Lord, he took one unleavened loaf, one loaf of oil bread, and one wafer, and he placed them on the fat and on the right haunch.

RASHI

וחלת לחם שמן.הִיא רְבוּכָה שֶׁהָיָה מַרְבֶּה בָּהּ שֶׁמֶן כְּנֶגֶד הַחַלּוֹת וְהָרְקִיקִין, כָּךְ מְפֹרָשׁ בִּמְנָחוֹת (דף פ"ט):

וַיִּתֵּ֣ן אֶת־הַכֹּ֔ל עַ֚ל כַּפֵּ֣י אַהֲרֹ֔ן וְעַ֖ל כַּפֵּ֣י בָנָ֑יו וַיָּ֧נֶף אֹתָ֛ם תְּנוּפָ֖ה לִפְנֵ֥י יְהוָֽה׃

He placed it all, the loaves and the sacrificial portions, on the palms of Aaron and on the palms of his sons, and Moses waved them, Aaron and his sons, or their palms, which held the sacrificial parts, as a wave offering before the Lord.

וַיִּקַּ֨ח מֹשֶׁ֤ה אֹתָם֙ מֵעַ֣ל כַּפֵּיהֶ֔ם וַיַּקְטֵ֥ר הַמִּזְבֵּ֖חָה עַל־הָעֹלָ֑ה מִלֻּאִ֥ים הֵם֙ לְרֵ֣יחַ נִיחֹ֔חַ אִשֶּׁ֥ה ה֖וּא לַיהוָֽה׃

Moses took them, the loaves and sacrificial portions, from on their palms and burned them on the altar on, that is, after, the burnt offering. They are an investiture offering for a pleasing aroma; it is a fire offering to the Lord.

RASHI

ויקטר המזבחה.מֹשֶׁה שִׁמֵּשׁ כָּל שִׁבְעַת יְמֵי הַמִּלּוּאִים בְּחָלוּק לָבָן (עבודה זרה ל"ד):

על העלה.אַחַר הָעוֹלָה, וְלֹא מָצִינוּ שׁוֹק שֶׁל שְׁלָמִים קָרֵב בְּכָל מָקוֹם חוּץ מִזֶּה:

וַיִּקַּ֤ח מֹשֶׁה֙ אֶת־הֶ֣חָזֶ֔ה וַיְנִיפֵ֥הוּ תְנוּפָ֖ה לִפְנֵ֣י יְהוָ֑ה מֵאֵ֣יל הַמִּלֻּאִ֗ים לְמֹשֶׁ֤ה הָיָה֙ לְמָנָ֔ה כַּאֲשֶׁ֛ר צִוָּ֥ה יְהוָ֖ה אֶת־מֹשֶֽׁה׃

Moses took the breast as well and waved it as a wave offering before the Lord; it, the breast, was the portion for Moses from the ram of investiture, as the Lord had commanded Moses.
