(a)Under what circumstances does our Mishnah declare an animal of Kodshim that has a permanent blemish, subject to Bechorah and Matanos after it has been redeemed?

(b)What does the Tana say about ...

1. ... shearing its wool or working with it?

2. ... the babies to which it subsequently gives birth and its milk?

3. ... someone who Shechts them outside the Azarah (even before it has been redeemed)?

(c)Why is this different than Dukin she'be'Ayin (an eye disease), where one would be Chayav for Shechutei Chutz, if the Hekdesh had preceded the blemish?

(d)And what does the Tana say about this same animal ...

1. ... making a Temurah?

2. ... which died?

(e)What is the Chidush?

1)

(a)Our Mishnah declares an animal of Kodshim that has a permanent blemish, subject to Bechorah and Matanos after it has been redeemed - provided the blemish preceded the Hekdesh.

(b)The Tana rules that ...

1. ... shearing its wool or working with it - is permitted.

2. ... the babies to which it subsequently gives birth and its milk - are permitted too.

3. ... someone who Shechts them outside the Azarah (even before it has been redeemed) - is Patur from Kareis (of Shechutei Chutz).

(c)This is different than Dukin she'be'Ayin (an eye disease), where one would be Chayav for Shechutei Chutz if the Hekdesh had preceded the blemish - because it is not really Hekdesh.

(d)And he also rules that this same animal ...

1. ... cannot make a Temurah.

2. ... can be redeemed and fed to the dogs if it dies ...

(e)... even though it is unable to stand (because it does not require Ha'amadah and Ha'arachah [having to stand as it is assessed]).

2)

(a)To which two categories of Kodshim does all this not apply?

(b)Why does it not apply to ...

1. ... B'chor?

2. ... Ma'aser? From which Pasuk in Bechukosai do we learn it?

(c)Under what circumstances will all the above Halachos not apply?

(d)Into which of the two above groups does an animal fall, if it had a temporary blemish before it was declared Hekdesh, and contracted a permanent one after that?

2)

(a)All this does not apply to - B'chor and Ma'aser.

(b)It does not apply to ...

1. ... B'chor - because it is sanctified by the womb as it is born, even if it is a Ba'al Mum.

2. ... Ma'aser - because the Torah writes in Bechukosai (in connection with it) "Do not distinguish between good (an animal without a blemish) and bad (an animal with one)".

(c)All the above Halachos will not apply - if the Hekdesh preceded the blemish ...

(d)... even if it had a temporary blemish before it was declared Hekdesh, and contracted the permanent one afterwards.

3)

(a)The above are not subject to Bechorah or to Matanos, neither do they go out to Chulin to be shorn or to work with, even after they have been redeemed. At which stage does the Tana declare them Chayav for Shechutei Chutz?

(b)This latter ruling is extremely restricted, but does not apply to the vast majority of blemishes. Why not?

(c)The Tana's final ruling is that if they die, they must be buried. Why can they not be redeemed?

3)

(a)The above are not subject to Bechorah or to Matanos, neither do they go out to Chulin to be shorn or to work with, even after they have been redeemed. The Tana declares them Chayav for Shechutei Chutz - before they have been redeemed.

(b)This latter ruling is extremely restricted, but does not apply to the vast majority of blemishes - because Shechutei Chutz only applies to animals that are fit to go on the Mizbe'ach (or at least to remain on the Mizbe'ach once they are there, as we will see).

(c)The Tana's final ruling is that if they die, they must be buried. They cannot be redeemed - because any animal of Kodshim requires Ha'amadah ve'Ha'arachah, and a dead animal cannot stand.

4)

(a)We learned in the Reisha that even where the blemish preceded the Hekdesh, the animals are only subject to Bechorah and Matanos once they have been redeemed, but not before. Why is that (seeing as even before they have been redeemed, they are only Kedushas Damim)?

(b)We make the same observation regarding their going out to Chulin to be shorn or worked with, and we suggest that our Mishnah supports a ruling of Rebbi Elazar. What does Rebbi Elazar say about Kodshei Bedek ha'Bayis?

(c)On what grounds do we refute the proof from our Mishnah for Rebbi Elazar? Why might Kodshei Bedek ha'Bayis be different than Kedushas Damim?

4)

(a)We learned in the Reisha that even where the blemish preceded the Hekdesh, the animals are only subject to B'chorah and Matanos once they have been redeemed, but not before - because Kedushas Damim is Patur from Bechorah and Matanos (just like Kedushas ha'Guf).

(b)We make the same observation regarding their going out to Chulin to be shorn or worked with, and we suggest that our Mishnah supports a ruling of Rebbi Elazar - who forbids the shearings of Kodshei Bedek ha'Bayis and working with them.

(c)However, we refute the proof from our Mishnah for Rebbi Elazar - since it may well be that the Chachamim only decreed on Kedushas Damim, which one might come to confuse with Kedushas ha'Guf (which goes on the Mizbe'ach), but not on Kodshei Bedek ha'Bayis, which never goes on the Mizbe'ach.

5)

(a)We learned also that their babies and their milk are permitted. Why can the Tana not be referring to where the animal conceived and gave birth ...

1. ... after it was redeemed?

2. ... before it was redeemed?

(b)In which case is the Tana then speaking?

5)

(a)We learned also that their babies and their milk are permitted. The Tana cannot be referring to where the animal became pregnant and gave birth ...

1. ... after it was redeemed - because, seeing as it is Chulin, that is obvious.

2. ... before it was redeemed - because the Tana specifically said 've'Nifdu', implying that prior to the redemption, they are forbidden.

(b)In which case, the Tana must be speaking - where it became pregnant before the redemption, but was redeemed afterwards.

6)

(a)What does the Beraisa say about the babies that are born to Ba'alei Mumin which are declared Kodshei Mizbe'ach?

(b)What She'eilah does the Beraisa come to resolve?

(c)Why can the babies not be brought directly on the Mizbe'ach?

6)

(a)The Beraisa rules that the babies that are born to Ba'alei Mumin which are declared Kodshei Mizbe'ach - are (redeemed or) sold, even though they are not blemished (which would be a prerequisite by regular Kodshim).

(b)The Beraisa comes to resolve the She'eilah - whether babies that are born to Ba'alei Mumin can be redeemed without a blemish or not.

(c)The babies cannot be brought directly on the Mizbe'ach - because they were born from a rejected Kedushah (from a mother that was unfit to go on the Mizbe'ach).

7)

(a)What reason does the Tana give for not requiring a blemish prior to the sale?

(b)What can we extrapolate from there vis-?-vis someone who is Makdish Kedushas Damim a male, unblemished animal (which does not come from a rejected Kedushah)?

(c)What did Rava say about such an animal?

(d)Why did he mention specifically a male?

7)

(a)The reason the Tana gives for not requiring a blemish prior to the sale is that - the Tafel is not worse than the Ikar (since the baby's blemished mother can be redeemed immediately, it can as well [as if it too, was blemished]).

(b)We can extrapolate from there that someone who is Makdish Kedushas Damim a male, unblemished animal (which does not come from a rejected Kedushah) - is Kadosh Kedushas ha'Guf, and cannot be redeemed without a blemish ...

(c)... a support for Rava, who said precisely that.

(d)Rava mentioned specifically a male - because it is eligible to be brought as an Olah, and the majority of people donate Olos (see also Tosfos DH 'Hikdish').

8)

(a)Our Mishnah exempts someone who Shechts a blemished animal outside the Azarah from Kareis. Rebbi Elazar's version of our Mishnah reads 'Chayav'. What is he Chayav? Which sin is he guilty of?

(b)And he bases this ruling on another statement of his. How does Rebbi Elazar explain the Pasuk in Shoftim "Lo Sizbach la'Hashem Elokecha Shor va'Seh asher Yih'yeh bo Mum"?

(c)What is the difference between a Bamah and a Bamah Gedolah?

(d)How does Rebbi Elazar know that the Pasuk is speaking about a Bamah Ketanah, and not a Bamah Gedolah?

8)

(a)Our Mishnah exempts someone who Shechts a blemished animal outside the Azarah from Kareis. Rebbi Elazar's version of our Mishnah reads 'Chayav' - meaning Chayav Malkos, which he receives for Shechting a Ba'al Mum (even) on a Bamas Yachid.

(b)And he bases this ruling on another statement of his - where he explains the Pasuk in Shoftim "Lo Sizbach la'Hashem Elokecha Shor va'Seh asher Yih'yeh bo Mum" to refer to Shechting Ba'alei Mumin on a Bamas Yachid (Im Eino Inyan le'Bamah Gedolah) at a time when Bamos are permitted.

(c)A Bamas Yachid is - a Bamah which any individual builds build in his backyard (like the ones that Mano'ach, Gid'on and Shmuel built). Whereas a Bamah Gedolah is - a public Bamah, as existed in Nov and Giv'on.

(d)Rebbi Elazar knows that the Pasuk is speaking about a Bamah Ketanah, and not a Bamah Gedolah - because we already know the prohibition by Bamah Gedolah from the Pasuk in Emor "Averes O Shavur".

9)

(a)We query Rebbi Elazar in that perhaps the Pasuk is speaking about a Bamas Tzibur, and Im Eino Inyan le'Kodshim, it must be referring to a B'chor Ba'al Mum. Why might we have thought that a B'chor Ba'al Mum is eligible to go on the Mizbe'ach, even though other Kodshim are not?

(b)What do we learn from the Pasuk in Re'ei "Pise'ach O Iver Kol Mum Ra, Lo Sizbachenu"?

(c)We then make the same suggestion with regard to a. Ma'aser, and b. Temurah, both of which take effect on a Ba'al Mum. What do we learn from ...

1. ... the Gezeirah-Shavah "Ha'avarah" "Ha'avarah", to dispense with the query from Ma'aser?

2. ... the Pasuk in Bechukosai "Ve'hayah Hu u'Semuraso ... ", to dispense with the query from Temurah? What do we learn from the Hekesh?

9)

(a)We query Rebbi Elazar in that perhaps the Pasuk is speaking about a Bamas Tzibur, and Im Eino Inyan le'Kodshim, it must be referring to a B'chor Ba'al Mum, which we might have thought is eligible to go on the Mizbe'ach (even though other Kodshim are not) - because Kedushas B'chor takes effect on it (which it does not do by most other Kodshim).

(b)We learn from the Pasuk in Re'ei "Pise'ach O Iver Kol Mum Ra, Lo Sizbachenu" that - a B'chor Ba'al Mum is disqualified from the Mizbe'ach.

(c)We make the same suggestion with regard to a. Ma'aser, and b. Temurah, both of which take effect on a Ba'al Mum. We learn from ...

1. ... the Gezeirah-Shavah "Ha'avarah" "Ha'avarah" that - Ma'aser is compared to B'chor, in which case, like B'chor, it is not eligible to go on the Mizbe'ach.

2. ... the Pasuk "Ve'hayah Hu u'Semuraso ... " - comparing the Temurah to the original Korban, in which case, like the original Korban, it is not eligible to go on the Mizbe'ach either.

10)

(a)Finally, Rebbi Zeira asks why we cannot establish the Pasuk by a Bamah Gedolah, and it comes to teach us that one cannot bring babies of Kodshim on it. Why might we have otherwise thought that one can?

(b)And we answer by citing Tana de'bei Rebbi Yishmael, who discusses the Pasuk in Re'ei "Rak Kodoshecha ... ". If "Rak Kodoshecha" refers to Temuros, what does "asher Yih'yu lach" refer to?

(c)What does he learn from the fact that the Pasuk follows with the word "u'Nedarecha"?

10)

(a)Finally, Rebbi Zeira asks why we cannot establish the Pasuk by a Bamah Gedaloh, and it comes to teach us that one cannot bring babies of Kodshim on it - seeing as they too, became sanctified with a blemish (via their mother).

(b)And we answer by citing Tana de'bei Rebbi Yishmael, who discusses the Pasuk in Re'ei "Rak Kodoshecha ... ".. "Rak Kodoshecha", he explains, refers to Temuros, and "asher Yih'yu lach" - to V'lados.

(c)From the fact that the Pasuk follows with the word "u'Nedarecha" - he extrapolates that Temuros and V'lados, like Nedarim (Korbanos that one vows to bring) may not be Ba'alei Mumin.

11)

(a)The Pasuk writes in Bechukosai "Lo Yachlifenu ve'Lo Yamir oso Tov be'Ra O Ra be'Tov". What problem do we have with the dual ruling?

(b)So why does the Torah learn from "Tov be'Ra"?

(c)Rav Yehudah Amar Rav establishes our Mishnah, which permits Kodshim that were initially blemished and that died, to be redeemed, like Rebbi Shimon. What does Rebbi Shimon in a Mishnah in the fifth Perek, say about Ha'amadah ve'Ha'arachah? Where does it apply and where does it not apply?

(d)What does Rebbi Shimon learn from the word "osah (in the Pasuk there "Ve'he'erich ha'Kohen osah")?

11)

(a)The Pasuk writes in Bechukosai "Lo Yachlifenu ve'Lo Yamir oso Tov be'Ra O Ra be'Tov". The problem with the dual ruling is that - if "Ra be'Tov" (an unblemished Chulin animal instead of a blemished Kodshim one) is forbidden, then it is obvious that "Tov be'Ra" (a blemished Chulin animal for an unblemished Kodshim one) is certainly forbidden, so why does the Torah see fit to mention it?

(b)Consequently - we interpret "Tov be'Ra" to mean that - it is only an animal that was initially unblemished that can make a Temurah, but not one whose blemish preceded its Hekdesh.

(c)Rav Yehudah Amar Rav establishes our Mishnah, which permits Kodshim that were initially blemished and that died, to be redeemed, like Rebbi Shimon, who holds in a Mishnah in the fifth Perek that - Kodshei Mizbe'ach require Ha'amadah and Ha'arachah, whereas Kodshei Bedek ha'Bayis do not.

(d)According to Rebbi Shimon, the word "osah" (in the Pasuk there "Ve'he'erich ha'Kohen osah" - comes to preclude from the Din of Ha'amadah ve'Ha'arachah Kodshei Mizbe'ach whose blemish preceded the Hekdesh.

12)

(a)What do the Chachamim say?

(b)The Chachamim are synonymous with Tana de'bei Levi in a Beraisa. What does Tana de'bei Levi say about an animal of Kodshei Mizbe'ach that is a Ba'al Mum me'Ikaro, or that is a Chayah or a bird?

(c)How does Tana de'bei Levi Darshen "osah"?

(d)What is the source for Ha'amadah ve'Ha'arachah?

12)

(a)Regarding the latter ruling, the Chachamim rule - 'Im Meisu Yikaveru' (because they too, require Ha'amadah ve'Ha'arachah).

(b)The Chachamim are synonymous with Tana de'bei Levi in a Beraisa, who says that an animal of Kodshei Mizbe'ach that is a Ba'al-Mum from the outset, or that is a Chayah or a bird - is subject to Ha'amadah ve'Ha'arachah (Im Meisu Yikaveru).

(c)We ask what Tana de'bei Levi will learn from "osah" - a question which remains unresolved.

(d)The source for Ha'amadah ve'Ha'arachah is the Pasuk in Bechukosai "Vehe'emid es ha'Beheimah Lifnei ha'Kohen, Vehe'erich osah ha'Kohen".

13)

(a)What problem do we have, based on the fact that the Chachamim who argue with Rebbi Shimon concede that a Ba'al Mum me'Ikaro does not require Ha'amadah ve'Ha'arachah? What ought Rav Yehudah Amar Rav then to have said?

(b)And we answer that Rav holds like Resh Lakish. What did Resh Lakish say according to the Rabbanan, about the corollary between Kodshei Bedek ha'Bayis and Kodshei Mizbe'ach (regarding Ha'amadah ve'Ha'arachah)?

(c)What is the problem with that? From where do we know that our Mishnah requires Ha'amadah ve'Ha'arachah by Kodshei Mizbe'ach?

(d)How do we know that the reason in the Seifa is because of Ha'amadah ve'Ha'arachah, and not because of the principle Ein Podin es ha'Kodshim Leha'achilan li'Kelavim?

13)

(a)The problem, based on the fact that the Chachamim who argue with Rebbi Shimon concede that a Ba'al Mum me'Ikaro does not require Ha'amadah ve'Ha'arachah is - Why, when Rav Yehudah Amar Rav said 'Zu Divrei Rebbi Shimon', he did not add the word 'u'Machlekuso'.

(b)And we answer that Rav holds like Resh Lakish, who explained that, according to the Rabbanan - Kodshei Bedek ha'Bayis are subject to Ha'amadah ve'Ha'arachah, whereas Kodshei Mizbe'ach are not.

(c)The problem with that is - the Seifa, where the Tana rules (in the case where the Hekdesh preceded the blemish [which is a case of Kodshei Mizbe'ach]) 've'Im Meisu, Yikaveru' (because it is subject to Ha'amadah ve'Ha'arachah.

(d)And we know that the reason in the Seifa is because of Ha'amadah ve'Ha'arachah, and not because of the principle Ein Podin es ha'Kodshim Leha'achilan li'Kelavim - because if it had been the latter, the Mishnah would have said 'Im Na'asu T'reifah, Yikaveiru'.

14)

(a)Alternatively, Rav holds like Rebbi Yochanan's interpretation of the Chachamim of Rebbi Shimon. What does Rebbi Yochanan say about Ha'amadah ve'Ha'arachah concerning Kodshei Mizbe'ach and Kodshei Bedek ha'Bayis?

(b)In that case, how will we amend his statement 'Zu Divrei Rebbi Shimon'?

14)

(a)Alternatively, Rav holds like Yochanan who explains that according to the Rabbanan of Rebbi Shimon - both Kodshei Mizbe'ach and Kodshei Bedek ha'Bayis require Ha'amadah and Ha'arachah

(b)In that case, we will amend his statement 'Zu Divrei Rebbi Shimon' to read - 'Zu Divrei Rebbi Shimon u'Machlekuso'.
