Daily Aliya for Vayikra, Shvii (7th Aliya)
Aliya Summary: This Aliya concludes the laws of the Korban Oleh
Viyored. We then move on to the last sacrifice discussed in this week's
Torah reading, the "Guilt Offering," the Asham Sacrifice. Three types of
Asham Sacrifices are discussed: a) an Asham brought by one who
inadvertently misappropriates Temple property. b) An Asham brought by
one who falsely swears regarding money owed to another. (Aside for
bringing a sacrifice, these two individuals must repay the principal
amount, and pay a punitive fine equal to one fourth of the principle.)
c) An Asham brought by a person who is uncertain whether he violated a
Torah prohibition.
