The posuk says, “Vayomer HaShem” (that’s one) el Moshe, ‘Emor el haKohanim B’nai Aharon’ (that’s two) ‘v’amarta lahem,’ (that’s three.) Regarding the double language (mentions 2 and 3) Chazal say that it is instructing the elders to teach the younger generation. “They shall not make a bald spot on their heads (in mourning) nor cut their flesh (in sorrow.) They shall be holy and not desecrate the name of their G-d.” Now, though, the Kohain is referred to in the singular, “and you shall make HIM holy.” He continues: The verse says we are to force him to divorce his forbidden wife ‘for he offers the bread of your G-d,’ in other words, he performs the sacrifices in the Bais HaMikdash. "Origin of (the Four) Species" The Biblical origin is in the Book of Vayikra; specifically, in Parshat Emor, where the Torah commands "And you shall take for yourselves on the First Day the fruit of a beautiful tree, the branches of date palms, branches of the myrtle tree, and branches of the willow tree, and you shall rejoice before Hashem, your G-d, for Seven Days." (Vayikra 23:40) The Commandment is to take these four species together as a unit, and to shake them together in all directions, at various times on Sukkot. The bond represents the conversion of a set of separate individuals into a People, which is far greater than any individual in both the Crown of Torah and the Crown of Good Deeds, and is far more deserving than any individual of the blessings of Hashem. One possible explanation is that we are taking these four elements from nature, and demonstrating that Hashem rules over nature everywhere and, by fulfilling this Command throughout the generations of our People, also at all times. “And you shall sanctify him, for the bread of your G-d does he offer, he shall be holy to you for I am G-d who sanctifies you.” The Gemara teaches these words mean that the Kohain is to be honored by others. That is why we must force this kohain to divorce his wife, because if he does not, he is harming himself unwittingly, by not fulfilling his role in Creation, and all of us, for the very same reason. When HaShem gave this command to Moshe, He did it by saying it softly, so as to set an example for Moshe how he should pass this command to the Ko
