(The chapter and verse numberings can sometimes be different in Hebrew Bibles than in the English translations commonly available in book stores, which most of us use. In the Hebrew Bible, the parashah begins with Lev 6:1. In English Bibles, the content of the Hebrew Lev 6:1 begins in verse 8. So I have adjusted the chapter and verse numbers accordingly.)
