Side-ring EXTRA · Structural opening of the shechutei chutz unit
Torah Temimah is silent on the introductory formula of 17:01. Classical sources treat the address “to Aharon and to his sons and to all the children of Yisroel” (v. 2) as marking a dual audience — Kohanim who offer and Yisroel who bring — for the laws of slaughter outside the Mikdash.
English: “Speak to Aharon and to his sons and to all the children of Yisroel” — a warning to the Kohanim who offer and a warning to Yisroel who bring.
Dual audience for shechutei chutz
Chapter 17 opens a unit that binds both the priesthood and the people: no one may treat the blood of a potential korban as ordinary by slaughtering it outside the designated place.
