Shmini שמיני

Shemini (“Eighth”) opens with the consecration of the Tabernacle (portable sanctuary). Two of [Aaron’s](https://www.sefaria.org/topics/aaron?sort=Relevance&tab=notable-sources) sons are consumed by a fire sent from God when they attempt to offer an “alien fire.” God describes the animals, birds, and fish that are permissible and prohibited for consumption, as well as some laws of ritual purity.
