Question

Rabbi, in several places you say that Ba’al Halakhot Gedolot and Tosafot disagree regarding the counting of the Omer in how to define the concept: whether the counting of the Omer must be a tallying count (Tosafot) or an ordinal count (Ba’al Halakhot Gedolot). And apparently on this point hinges the dispute whether it is a commandment for each and every day or one single commandment covering all 49 days.
 But afterward you say that it could be that even according to Ba’al Halakhot Gedolot, counting the Omer is a new commandment each and every day, and not as we initially understood it, that according to Ba’al Halakhot Gedolot all 49 days are one commandment. So this is difficult for me, because if it is a new commandment each and every day, then automatically you are counting each day as a separate unit, and if so it cannot be an ordinal count; rather we would have to say that it is a tallying count. Because in an ordinal count you cannot separate the units, like in IQ or temperature. Put differently: do we have to say that an ordinal count goes only with a single unit, while a tallying count goes only where there are separate units? It would seem so. And if that is correct, then an ordinal count goes only with a single unit, and if so we would need to say that counting the Omer is one commandment for all 49 days!  Put differently, it seems to me quite simply that the dispute whether this is one commandment or a commandment for each and every day itself depends on whether it is an ordinal count or a tallying count?
