Pesachim 28
***************GIRSA SECTION********************
We recommend using the textual changes suggested by the Bach, Rav B. Rensburg
and the parenthetical marginal notes of the Vilna Shas. This section is
devoted to any *OTHER* changes that we feel ought to be made in Gemara,
Rashi or Tosfos.)
[1] Gemara 28a [line 7]:
The words "Kapa *d'Chata* Nagara b'Gavah"
should be "Kapa *d'Chat* Nagara b'Gavah" (Rashi in all early printings,
Rabeinu Chananel, Aruch)
or "Kapa *d'Chak* Nagara b'Gavah" (the Oxford manuscript)
[2] Gemara 28a [line 9]:
The words "*Gira b'Girei* Maktil"
should be "*Gira'ah b'Gireih* (with a 'Heh' at the end) Maktil" (early printings)
************************************************
1) [line 3] ASHAM TALUY
(a) An Asham Taluy consists of a ram worth two Sela'im, that is offered when
a person is in doubt as to whether he committed a transgression for which he
must bring a Korban Chatas. If he later discovers that he did indeed sin, he
must offer a Korban Chatas. The Asham Taluy only provides temporary
atonement during the period of doubt.
(b) If the person discovers after his Korban was slaughtered that he indeed
*did not* need to bring a Korban since he did not sin, the Tana'im argue as
to how the ram is disposed of. According to Chachamim, it is burned.
According to Rebbi Yehudah, it is buried.
2) [line 3] CHATAS HA'OF HA'BA AL HA'SAFEK
(a) It is prohibited to offer an animal as a sacrifice when its obligation
is in question, since it is possible that we will be slaughtering, offering
or eating Chulin ba'Azarah.
(b) Unlike other Korbanos, a Chatas ha'Of is not slaughtered nor is it
offered on the Mizbe'ach. Instead, Melikah is performed upon it and its
blood is sprinkled on the Mizbe'ach. Therefore it may be offered even when
its obligation is not certain, but it is not eaten. For example, if it is
unclear whether a woman gave birth to a fully formed child or not, she may
bring a bird as a Chatas in order to permit her to eat Kodshim. The bird,
however, is not eaten.
(c) Rabanan rule that the Chatas ha'Of ha'Ba Al ha'Safek is burned, while
Rebbi Yehudah rules Yatilenah la'Amah - he should throw it into the channel
of water that was an Amah wide, which passed through the Azarah of the Beis
ha'Mikdash and emptied into Nachal Kidron.
3a) [line 7] KAPA (D'CHATA) [D'CHAT] NAGARA B'GAVAH - with the wooden ladle
that a carpenter hollowed out
b) [line 8] NISROF CHARDELA - (a) he shall burn his tongue and palate with
mustard; (b) he will suck in mustard [(O.F. humer) to suck in, swallow while
inhaling]
4a) [line 8] SADANA B'SADNEI YESEIV - a maker of wooden stocks (carpenter)
who violates the law, sits in his own stocks
b) [line 9] MI'DEVIL YADEI MISHTALIM - he is being paid back with his own
handiwork
5) [line 9] (GIRA) [GIRA'A] B'GIREI MIKTIL - the arrow-maker, when he is
hunted, is killed by his own arrow
6) [line 14] B'EINEI - as it is
7) [line 15] SHOCHEK - he grinds it
8) [line 19] YAM HA'MELACH - (O.F. mer betee) the Dead Sea
9) [line 22] MIMISAH - dissolve/disintegrate in water
*10*) [line 38] OVER ALAV B'LAV - the discussion here may apply only to the
Lav; all agree that Tashbisu, a Mitzvas Aseh, applies before Pesach -- see
Insights.
28b---------------------------------------28b
*11*) [line 11] IM KEN, MAH TALMUD LOMAR LO SOCHAL ALAV CHAMETZ - that is,
if the word "Alav" with reference to Matzah is referring to the Korban
Pesach, then the word "Alav" with reference to Chametz also means to
prohibit Chametz only from the time that the Korban Pesach is eaten.
(TOSFOS DH Im)
12) [line 19] SHE'NISCHAMETZ ME'ELAV - that it became leavened on its own
(by letting it stand without adding any leavening agent)
13) [line 20] MACHMAS DAVAR ACHER - if it became leavened by adding a non-
Chametz leavening agent (such as wine lees) (TOSFOS)
*13*) [line 34] SHAPIR KA'AMAR LEI REBBI SHIMON - that is, why doesn't Rebbi
Yehudah compare Chametz to Matzah, like Rebbi Shimon suggested in the
Beraisa.
14) [line 35] L'KOV'O CHOVAH - to establish it as an obligation even when
there is no Beis ha'Mikdash and no Korban Pesach
