Shemen Zayit and Parah Adumah

Parsha Pages | December 10, 2025

שמות פרק כז, כ וְאַתָּה תְצַוֶּה אֶת-בְנֵּי יִּשְרָּאֵּל וְיִּקְחוּ אֵּלֶיךָ שֶמֶן זַיִּת In Parshas Chukas, regarding the Parah Adumah, the verse also uses the words ויקחו אליך. In that matter, the Medrosh (as cited by Rashi) says these words teach us also that future generations would merit their Parah from the one that Moshe made. Accordingly, one can also say that the future generations would benefit from their lights (knowledge that the Shechina rests on the Jews) due to the merit of the menorah made by Moshe.
