Insight 5774-31: The Ancient Jewish Society

For Emor
Not yet available on the Nishma website.

There are many verses in the Torah that seem to define the kohain as having a judicial function yet there is no specific direction within the Torah that the Kehuna is to have that function. I am now wondering if the mechanics of tovat hana'ah and terumah may have been the that which led the kohanim into such a function.
