EmorLeviticus 21:1-24:23The Torah section of Emor (”Speak”) begins with the special laws pertaining to the Kohanim (”priests”), the Kohen Gadol (”High Priest”), and the Temple service: A Kohen may not become ritually impure through contact with a dead body, save on the occasion of the death of a close relative. A Kohen may not marry a divorcee or a woman with a promiscuous past; a Kohen Gadol can marry only a virgin. A Kohen with a physical deformity cannot serve in the Holy Temple, nor can a deformed animal be brought as an offering.A newborn calf, lamb, or kid must be left with its mother for seven days; one may not slaughter an animal and its offspring on the same day.The second part of Emor lists the annual Callings of Holiness — the festivals of the Jewish calendar: the weekly Shabbat; the bringing of the Passover offering on 14 Nissan; the seven-day Passover festival beginning on 15 Nissan; the bringing of the Omer offering from the first barley harvest on the 2nd day of Passover, and the commencement, on that day, of the 49-day Counting of the Omer, culminating in the festival of Shavuot on the 50th day; a “remembrance of shofar blowing” on 1 Tishrei; a solemn fast day on 10 Tishrei; the Sukkot festival — during which we are to dwell in huts for seven days and take the “Four Kinds” — beginning on 15 Tishrei; and the immediately following holiday of the “8th day” of Sukkot (Shemini Atzeret.Next the Torah discusses the lighting of the Menorah in the Temple, and the showbread (Lechem Hapanim) placed weekly on the table there.Emor concludes with the incident of a man executed for blasphemy, and the penalties for murder (death) and for injuring one’s fellow or destroying his property (monetary compensation).

Come the following year, General Motors had then expanded when Durant had bought Cadillac, Elmore, and Oakland and brought them into his company. Come 1909, General Motors was then able to acquire the Rapid Motor Vehicle Company, which is the predecessor of the GMC truck. Through the years, General Motors was then able to take up under its wing different companies that would then come together to form up a whole new company of automobiles that come in different types and models. The first American corporation to make over one billion dollars in just a year was General Motors. This happened on December 31, 1955.
