[Avodah] How many Korban Pesachs could be sacrificed in 1 day?

[elazar teitz]

>> In addition, there was the chagigas yud daled which was supposed to be
brought to provide meat to eat at
 the seder (especially if there were big chaburas for the korban
pesach) plus additional shalmei simcha.<<

> The shlamim could be brought in the morning, and AFAIK it doesn't have to
be  done for the sake of a specific
owner.  For all I know the BHMK could have  slaughtered bulls all morning
as shlamim, and made the meat
available to  anyone who donated towards the cost.<


     A korban musr be slaughtered, among other things, l'sheim ba'alim.
The kohein need not know his identity -- he can do the avodah having in
mind "I am doing this for the sake of its owner, whoever he may be"-- but
there must be an owner, and he cannot be determined after the fact.



>> Bnei Yisrael brought the Korban Pesach the second year in the Midbar as
well. At that time there were only
 3 Cohanim, Aharon and his 2 sons.<<

>Moshe was also a cohen, so there were four.  But that doesn't really
answer the question; four should
 have been overwhelmed as easily as three.<


     Moshe was only a kohein during the shivas y'mei hamiluim, which ended
two weeks before erev Pesach.  Had he retained the status of kohein, it
would have been unnecessary to burn the chatas after the death of Nadav and
Avihu, since there would have been a kohein, Moshe, who was not an onein
and could therefore eat it.
