Calling Moshe

Hashem called out to Moshe from the Ohel Moed and told him to instruct the Jews about sacrifices. Before Hashem would instruct or command Moshe,[1] he would first call out to him by his name. This was sign of affection and is also done by the ministering angels when they address each other.[1] Unlike gentile prophets like Bilam who Hashem revealed Himself to them through expressions of coincidence and impurity. This calling would only be given to Moshe at the start of a new prophecy, but when a single prophecy contained multiple subjects only a break was given between each part but not a separate calling.[1] During these breaks Moshe would have time to contemplate what he had just received.[1] If the great Moshe needed a pause between subjects to contemplate each then certainly ordinary people need pauses of contemplations between subjects.[1]

[1] Hashem would speak to Moshe from within the Ohel Moed, His voice originating from the Kapores cover of the Ahron from between the two Keruvim.[1] Hashem's voice would emanate and reach Moshes ears but the rest of the Jews did not hear it,[1] because it would stop at the edge of the Ohel Moed. Even Aharon did not hear these prophecies, with the exception 13 times when prophecies were given to both Moshe and Ahron at the same time.[1] Not only did the Jews not hear the actual prophecy, they did not hear Hashem calling Moshe either.[1] Although the voice of Hashem is mightly and uproots trees, when it would reach the end of Ohel Moed it would stop.[1] This is similar to the vision of Yechezkel where the mighty sound of the Krubims wings only reached the outer courtyard of the Beis Hamikdash and would then stop.[1]

Moshe was to tell the Jews that it was only in their merit that Hashem was speaking directly to him.[1] Indeed after the Sin of the Spies when the Jews no longer had merit and Hashem did not address Moshe directly for 38 years, until that entire generation had died.[1] Also Moshe was to ask the Jews if they accepted the laws of the sacrifices, similar to Har Sini where Moshe was told to report back the decision of the Jews to Hashem.[1]


Bringing Sacrifices

When a man wants to bring a voluntary[2] sacrifice to Hashem, he could be only bring a domesticated animal from either his Cattle or Flock but not a wild beast. [2] A person can not bring a stolen sacrifice just like Adom never offered sacrifices from stolen property, since he was the first man and everything was his.[2] An animal that had active or passive relationships with a human,[2] was worshiped as a deity,[2] of was designated as a sacrifice for a deity,[2] gored and killed a man,[2] has a terminal disease or injury[2] is not fit for a sacrifice.[2] It is possible for two people to donate a voluntary burnt offering in partnership.[2] Also the overall Nation would offer joint burnt offerings known as Kayitz HaMezbeach offerings, which were purchased from the leftovers of the previous year's half shekel collection and would be offered whenever the Mezbeach was ideal and no individual sacrifices were being brought.[2]
