The thirty-first reading from the Torah is called Emor, a title that comes from the first verse of the reading, which says, “Then the LORD said to Moses, ‘Speak [emor] to the priests, the sons of Aaron’” (Leviticus 21:1). Emor begins with special laws of sanctity, propriety, and purity for the priesthood. Leviticus 23 provides an overview of the biblical calendar, a listing of the LORD’s appointed times.
