ZEVACHIM 26-30 - Dedicated to the leaders and participants in the Dafyomi
shiurim at the Young Israel of New Rochelle, by Andy & Nancy Neff
|
1) AN "KORBAN" TAKEN PARTIALLY OUTSIDE THE "AZARAH"
(a) (R. Ami): If a sacrifice is inside the Azarah but its
foot is outside:
1. If he cut the foot off and then slaughtered, it is
Kosher; if he slaughtered and then cut the foot, it
is Pasul.
(b) Question: If he slaughtered after cutting off the foot,
it is blemished!
(c) Answer #1 - Correction: Rather, if he cut the foot off
(after slaughter) and then did Kabalah, it is Kosher; if
he Kibel and then cut the foot, it is Pasul.
(d) Objection: But R. Zeira taught, if one nicked the ear
before Kabalah, it is Pasul - "V'Lakach...mi'Dam ha'Par",
the bull must be intact.
(e) Answer #2 (Rav Chisda): He only cut the flesh of the
foot, not the bone (this is not a blemish).
(f) Inference: (If Kabalah is done before it is cut, it is
Pasul) - this teaches that the blood absorbed in limbs
(e.g. the leg) is considered blood (to become Pasul if it
leaves the Azarah. Rashi - and also, one who eats it is
Chayav Kares; Tosfos - and Me'ilah and Pigul do not apply
to it).
(g) Rejection: No, perhaps the Pesul is because the blood
absorbs fat from the leg, and this enters the Mizrak.
(h) Inference: (Since the absorption is Posel the blood,)
this teaches that the meat of Kodshim Kalim which leaves
the Azarah before Zerikah is Pasul (even though it may be
taken to be eaten anywhere in Yerushalayim after
Zerikah)!
(i) Rejection: Perhaps R. Ami discusses Kodshei Kodoshim.
(j) (Beraisa): Kodshei Kodoshim must be slaughtered in the
north (half of the Azarah), Kabalah of their blood must
be in a Kli Shares in the north;
1. If someone was in the south and stuck his hand into
the north and slaughtered, it is Kosher;
2. If Kabalah was done this way, it is Pasul.
3. If he entered his head and the majority of his body
(into the north), it is as if he is entirely there
(the Kabalah is Kosher).
4. If the animal quivered after slaughter and moved to
the south and returned to the north, it is Kosher.
5. Kodshim Kalim must be slaughtered in the Azarah,
Kabalah must be in a Kli Shares in the Azarah;
i. If someone was outside (the Azarah) and stuck
his hand in and slaughtered, it is Kosher;
ii. If Kabalah was done this way, it is Pasul.
iii. If he entered his head and the majority of his
body, this does not help.
iv. If the animal quivered after slaughter and left
the Azarah and returned, it is Pasul.
(k) Inference: This teaches that the meat of Kodshim Kalim
which leaves the Azarah before Zerikah is Pasul.
(l) Rejection: Perhaps it is Pasul because the tail (if it is
a sheep) or the kidneys left (these are Eimurim offered
on the Mizbe'ach, they are never allowed to leave the
Azarah - but meat, which can leave after Zerikah, perhaps
it can leave even before Zerikah).
(m) Question (Shmuel's father): May one slaughter
l'Chatchilah if the animal is inside the Azarah, only its
feet are outside?
(n) Answer (Shmuel): "Vehevi'um la'Sh-m" - it must be
entirely in front of Hash-m.
2) MUST "AVODAH" BE ON THE FLOOR?
(a) Question (Shmuel's father): If one slaughtered it while
it was hanging (in the air), what is the law?
(b) Answer #1 (Shmuel): It is Kosher.
(c) Rejection (and Answer #2 - Shmuel's father): No, we
require "Al Yerech ha'Mizbe'ach" (it must be on the
floor).
(d) Question (Shmuel's father): If one slaughtered it while
*he* was hanging, what is the law?
(e) Answer #1 (Shmuel): It is Pasul.
(f) Rejection (and Answer #2 - Shmuel's father): No, the
slaughter (i.e. the animal) must be "Al Yerech
ha'Mizbe'ach" the slaughterer need not be.
(g) Question (Shmuel's father): If one did Kabalah while he
was hanging, what is the law?
(h) Answer #1 (Shmuel): It is Kosher.
(i) Rejection (and Answer #2 - Shmuel's father): No, this is
not the proper way to do Avodah.
(j) Question (Shmuel's father): If one did Kabalah while it
was hanging, what is the law?
(k) Answer #1 (Shmuel): It is Pasul.
(l) Rejection (and Answer #2 - Shmuel's father): No, we
require slaughter "Al Yerech ha'Mizbe'ach", not Kabalah.
(m) (Abaye): Regarding Kodshei Kodoshim, each of these is
Pasul, except for one who slaughtered when he was
hanging;
1. Regarding Kodshim Kalim, each of these is Kosher,
except for one who Kibel while he was hanging.
(n) Objection (Rava): You are Machshir Kodshim Kalim that are
hanging, because (hanging in) the air above the Azarah is
like (resting on) the Azarah;
1. Likewise, you should Machshir Kodshei Kodoshim that
are hanging, because (hanging in) the air above the
north (half of the Azarah) is like (resting in) the
north!
(o) (Rava): Rather, for any Korban, each of these is Kosher,
except for Kodshei Kodoshim which were hanging (even
though it is as if it is in the north, this is not Al
Yerech) and a hanging Kohen that Kibel (any Korban).
(p) Question (R. Yirmeyah): If the Kohen is in the Azarah,
only his hair is outside, what is the law?
(q) Answer (R. Zeira): Just as we expound "Vehevi'um la'Sh-m"
the animal must be entirely in front of Hash-m, we
expound "B'Vo'am El Ohel Mo'ed", the Kohen must be
entirely in the Ohel Mo'ed.
3) BLOOD PUT IN THE WRONG PLACE
(a) (Mishnah): In the following cases, the Korban is Pasul,
there is no Kares (this will be explained):
1. The blood was put on the ramp, or on a part of the
Mizbe'ach not above the Yesod (a base surrounding
half of the Mizbe'ach);
2. Blood of a sacrifice that should be put on (the
Keranos) on top was put on the bottom, or
vice-versa;
3. Blood of a sacrifice that should be put on the inner
Mizbe'ach was put on the outer Mizbe'ach, or
vice-versa.
26b---------------------------------------26b
(b) (Gemara - Shmuel): The meat is Pasul (forbidden), but the
owner fulfilled his obligation.
(c) Question: What is the reason?
(d) Answer: "Va'Ani Nesativ Lachem Al ha'Mizbe'ach Lechaper"
- once blood reaches the Mizbe'ach, there is atonement.
1. Question: If so, the meat should be permitted!
2. Answer: "Lechaper" - the rest of the Mizbe'ach is
Kosher for atonement, not for other things.
(e) Inference: Shmuel holds that (putting blood in) the wrong
place is like (putting it in) the right place.
(f) Question (Mishnah #1): In the following cases, if Dam
ha'Nefesh remains, a Kosher Kohen should receive it (to
do a proper Zerikah):
1. The blood was put on the ramp, or on a part of the
Mizbe'ach not above the Yesod;
2. Blood that should be put on top was put on bottom,
or vice-versa;
3. Blood that should be put on the inner Mizbe'ach was
put on the outer Mizbe'ach, or vice-versa.
i. If (putting in) the wrong place is like the
right place, why is another Zerikah needed?
(g) Answer #1: We do a proper Zerikah to permit eating the
meat.
(h) Objection: Since the Korban already atoned, another
Zerikah does not permit the meat!
(i) Answer: No, the Korban did not atone - the case is, a
Pasul Kohen did the first Zerikah.
(j) Question: If so, the Korban was Nidcheh (permanently
disqualified)!
1. (Mishnah #2): If Kabalah was done (with intent to
eat or Lizrok) Chutz li'Zmano or Chutz li'Mkomo, if
Dam ha'Nefesh remains, a Kosher Kohen should do a
proper Kabalah.
2. Inference: An improper Kabalah can be fixed, not an
improper Zerikah.
i. Suggestion: An improper Zerikah cannot be fixed
on account of Dichuy!
(k) Answer #1: No, (it was not Nidcheh,) the Zerikah cannot
be fixed because it was done with improper intent.
(l) Rejection #1: If so, also an improper Kabalah cannot be
fixed!
(m) Rejection #2: Improper intent of someone unfit to serve
is not Posel!
1. (Rava): Intent is Posel only if the Oved is fit to
serve, on something fit for the Avodah, in a place
fit for the Avodah.
(n) Answer #2: No, also an improper Zerikah can be fixed;
1. The correct inference from Mishnah #2 is that an
improper Kabalah can be fixed, not an improper
slaughter.
(o) Question: This teaches that intention is Pasul - a
Mishnah teaches this!
1. (Mishnah): (Because Pesulim may slaughter,) they
Posel through improper intention.
(p) Answer: The Chidush is, they do not Pasul Kabalah (or
later Avodos), as Rava taught (since Kesherim are
required).
