Tzav (parsyah)
Tzav, Tsav, Zav, Sav, atau dalam bahasa Ibrani Alkitab Ṣaw (צַו – Bahasa Ibrani untuk "perintah," kata keenam, dan kata khas pertama, dalam parsyah ini) adalah Bacaan Taurat Mingguan (פָּרָשָׁה, parashah) ke-25 dalam siklus tahunan Pembacaan Taurat dan yang kedua dari Kitab Imamat. Parsyah tersebut mengajarkan bagaimana imam melakukan persembahan korban dan menjelaskan tentang pentahbisan Harun dan anak-anaknya. Parsyah tersebut meliputi Imamat 6:1–8:36 (Imamat 6:8–8:36 dalam KJV). Seluruh parsyah tersebut terdiri dari 5.096 huruf Ibrani, 1.353 kata Ibrani, dalam 97 ayat, dan dapat menempati sekitar 170 baris dalam gulungan Taurat (סֵפֶר תּוֹרָה, Sefer Torah).[1] Orang-orang Yahudi membacanya pada hari Sabat ke-24 atau ke-25 setelah Simchat Torah, umumnya pada bulan Maret atau awal April.
