Source Citation

Torath Kohanim (Sifra) on “tzav” (the classic source regularly cited by TT for this opening).

Core Text

אין צו אלא לשון זירוז מיד ולדורות. אמר רבי שמעון: ביותר צריך הכתוב לזרז במקום שיש בו חסרון כיס.

Ein “tzav” ela leshon zeruz miyad uledoros. Amar Rabbi Shimon: beyoser tzarich hakasuv lezarez bemakom sheyesh bo chesaron kis.

“Tzav” is nothing other than a language of urging, for the present and for generations. Rabbi Shimon said: Scripture needs to urge especially in a place where there is monetary loss.

On the daf / in context
The Sifra opens Tzav by explaining why the stronger verb “tzav” is used. Because the olah yields no priestly share (and therefore involves a potential loss of enthusiasm), the Torah adds an extra word of encouragement that applies both immediately and for all generations.
Type of Learning

Custom — lexical force of “tzav” + the principle of extra urging where there is chesaron kis.

What Is Learned

The command to the Kohanim concerning the olah is phrased with special urgency because the offering involves no personal monetary benefit for them.
