1)
(a) In a Beraisa, Rebbi Eliezer tries to prove his opinion (i.e. that Olas
ha'Of le'Shem Chatas ha'Of is subject to Me'ilah) from an Asham that one
Shechted in the North as a Shelamim. Why must he be speaking about prior
to the Zerikah?
(b) What does he prove from there?
(c) How does Rebbi Yehoshua repudiate Rebbi Eliezer's proof?
(d) Finally, Rebbi Eliezer attempts to disprove Rebbi Yehosua's opinion from
an Asham that one Shechted in the south as an Asham, where besides changing
its name, he also changed its location. How does Rebbi Yehoshua counter
that?
2)
(a) Rebbi Eliezer remained silent. Rava asked why he did not query Rebbi
Yehoshua further from 'Asham she'Shachto be'Darom le'Shem Shelamim be'Shinuy
Ba'alim'. What does he mean by this? Why does this pose a Kashya on Rebbi
Yehoshua?
(b) To answer the Kashya, he cites Rav Ada bar Ahavah. How does Rav Ada
bar Ahavah explain Rebbi Yehoshua?
(c) How does this answer the Kashya? What does Rava prove from the fact that
Rebbi Eliezer did not ask it?
3)
(a) What do we mean when we then ask 'I Hachi, Chatas ha'Of Nami, she'As'ah
Lema'alah ke'Ma'aseh ha'Olah ... be'Idach Si'man, Timashech Ve'tehavi Olas
ha'Of'? What is the basis of this Kashya?
(b) How do we try to support this Kashya by citing Rebbi Yochanan in the
name of Rebbi Ban'ah, who says 'Kach Hi Hatza'ah shel Mishnah'?
(c) What alternative interpretation do we give to 'Kach hi Hatza'ah shel
Mishnah' that proves quite the opposite?
(d) How does Rav Ashi refute the Kashya once and for all? Why can one not
compare an Olas ha'Of that is brought below the Chut ha'Sikra with a Chatas
ha'Of that is brought above it, in this regard?
Answers to questions
67b---------------------------------------67b
4)
(a) We ask on Rav Ada bar Ahavah from a Mishnah in Kanin, which discusses a
case where Rachel and Le'ah who had given birth, purchased a pair of birds
between them. What is the case? What were the two birds needed for?
(b) What does the Tana rule in a case where the Kohen brought ...
- ... both birds above the Chut ha'Sikra?
- ... one above the Chut ha'Sikra and one below it?
(c) We ask from the second case on Rav Ada bar Ahavah, why the bird that was
brought below the Chut ha'Sikra should not be Kasher anyway, even it is was
the Olah, like Rav Ada explained. What do we answer? How do we reconcile
Rav Ada bar Ahavah with this Beraisa?
5)
(a) The Mishnah also discusses a case where Rachel and Le'ah required six
birds between them Why is that?
(b) Between them, they brought one Chatas and one Olah, one pair of
unspecified birds and one pair of specified birds. Like in the previous
case, if the Kohen brought all the birds above the Chut ha'Sikra, half of
them are Olos. What does the Tana say in a case where the Kohen brought half
of them above and half of them below the Chut ha'Sikra? Which birds are
Kasher?
(c) On what basis are they Kasher?
(d) What will the two women be obligated to do to make up for the specified
birds that are both Pasul?
6)
(a) We now ask on Rav Ada bar Ahavah the same Kashya as we asked on the
previous Mishnah. What makes this case different than the previous one?
Why can we not give the same answer as we gave there?
(b) Why can we not answer by establishing the Mishnah in Kanim not like
Rebbi Yehoshua?
7)
(a) What does the Mishnah in Kanim say about a pregnant woman who makes a
Neder to bring a Kan (a pair of birds) should she give birth to a boy, when
she does indeed give birth to a boy?
(b) Why are both birds in the second pair Olos?
(c) Assuming that she did not designate the four birds that she subsequently
brings, what must the Kohen do when she hands them to him?
8)
(a) The Tana then discusses what the Din will be if the Kohen mistakenly
brings two of the birds above the Chut ha'Sikra and two below it, without
consulting the woman. Why did he do that? What must he have assumed that
would obligate her to bring two Chata'os and two Olos?
(b) What does the woman now have to do, assuming that ...
- ... both Kinin comprised the same species (either pigeons or young doves)?
- ... they comprised two different species? Why is that?
(c) How would the Din differ if, in addition, she specified which species
she would bring for her Neder, but forgot what she said, assuming that ...
- ... both Kinin comprised the same species (either pigeons or young doves)?
- ... they comprised two different species?
