Although the Adereth Eliyahu first appeared as part of the Chamisha Chumshei Torah published in Dubrovna, 1804, the commentary on Vayikra is especially important as an expansion of the Sifra, or Torath Kohanim. Due to the Vilna Gaon’s brevity, the editor here provides additional explanations in parenthesis within the text of the Adereth Eliyahu.
