וטעם ולא תחללו את שם קדשי. עם בני אהרן ידבר כי הפרשה דבקה והם המצווים שלא ישחטו להם או לישראל אם ובן ביום אחד גם יתכן שמצוה וכי תזבחו זבח תודה לכהנים והעד שהחל בפרשה אחר כן דבר אל בני ישראל ועד שני ונקדשתי בתוך בני ישראל: [AND YE SHALL NOT PROFANE MY HOLY NAME.] This is directed to the sons of Aaron, for this section57Verses 26-33. is connected to what is earlier stated.58To verse 18 which is directed to Aaron, to his sons, and to all of Israel. In other words, verses 26-33 are directed to the sons of Aaron. They59The sons of Aaron. are commanded not to sacrifice for themselves or for Israel a cow and its offspring on one day. It is also possible that And when ye sacrifice a sacrifice of thanksgiving (v. 29) is directed to the kohanim.60For the entire section (verses 26-33) is directed to the kohanim. The fact that the following section opens with Speak unto the children of Israel (Lev. 23:2) is proof of this.61That our chapter (verses 26-33) is directed to the kohanim. But I will be hallowed among the children of Israel is a second witness.62This is directed to the kohanim. Had it been directed to the Israelites, Scripture would have read: But I will be hallowed among you.
