Why does the Torah insert the (otherwise superfluous) words "u'Bas Kohen"?

1.

Oznayim la'Torah (citing Rashi in Pesachim, 49a): It hints at the Gemara there that if a Bas Kohen who marries a Zar, it does not bode well for their future ? either she will be a Gerushah or an Almanah or she will have no children. 1


1

See Oznayim la'Torah.

2)

Who was the husband of the Almanah or the Gerushah?

1.

Rashi and Targum Yonasan: A Zar (a Levi or a Yisrael).

3)

What are the mplications of "Almanah u'Gerushah"?

1.

Yevamos, 68b: It implies that a woman who has relations with a Nochri, who is not subject to Almanus and Gerushin, is no longer permitted to eat Terumsah. 1


1

See Torah Temimah. Note 73.

4)

What are the implications of "ve'Zera Ein lah"?

1.

Rashi and Targum Yonasan: It implies that she has children from her former husband the Zar, she is forbidden to eat Tedrumah as long as they are alive. 1

2.

Yevamos, 70a: It incorporates both her children and grandchildren 2 and even offspring that are Pasul. 3

3.

Nidah, 44a: It teaches us that if a Kohen dies, leaving behind two wives, one of them, a Gerushah, who has a one-day old baby, the baby (who is a Chalal) prohibits all the Avadim that both sets of children inherit 4 from eating Terumah.


1

Even if she also has children from a Kohen. Sifsei Chachamim

2

See Torah Temimah, note 74.

3

Which the Gemara Darshens 'Ayein alah' ? See if she has offspring, what their status. See Torah Temimah, note 75.

4

See Torah Temimah, note 77.

5)

What are the connotations of "Veshavah el Beis Avihah"?

1.

Targum Yonasan, Sifra and Yevamos, 87a: To teach us that if she is a Shomeres Yavam to the brother of her former husband the Zar, she is not permitted to eat Terumah. 1


1

See Torah Temimah, note 79 . See also Oznayim la'Torah.

6)

Why does the Torah add the (otherwise superfluous) word "ki'Ne'urehah"?

1.

Sifra and Yevamos, 87a: To teach us that if she is pregnant from her former husband the Zar, she is not permitted to eat Terumah. 1

2.

Yevamos, 87a: To teach us that if a Bas Kohen has a baby from a Yisrael who died and the baby dies, she is permitted to eat Terumah. 2


1

See Torah Temimah, note 80.

2

See Torah Temimah, note 76.

7)

What is the 'Mem' in "mi'Lechem" coming to preclude?

1.

Yevamos, 87a: It precludes a Bas Kohen who returns to her father's house from eating Chazeh ve'Shok (the chest and the right calf of a Korban Shelamim).

8)

Seeing as the bas-Kohen is included in "Y'lid Beiso" (in Pasuk 11), why does the Torah see fit to permit her to eat Terumah here?

1.

Rashi (on the Beraisa of R. Yishmael): Since the Torah taught us a Chidush in connection with her (prohibiting her to eat Terumah once she marries a Zar), she leaves the realm of "Y'lid Beiso" until the Torah reinstates her. 1

2.

Rashi #2: Refer to 22:13:1:1**.


1

Rashi: This is one of the thirteen principles of R. Yishmael - 'Something that was included in the Klal, and that then left the K'lal to teach something new cannot be returned to the Klal, unless the Torah specifically reinstates it'.

9)

Having already taught us that a Zar is forbidden to eat Terumah, why does the Torah repeat it here?

1.

Rashi: To extrapolate from it that an Onein is permitted to eat Terumah. 1

2.

Sifra: Due to its juxtaposition to the following Pasuk, we learn that a Bas Kohen who is married to a Yisrael and a Kohen who eats his fellow-Kohen's Terumah ? both of whom were not initially Zarim - are not obligated to pay the extra fifth. 2


1

Even though she is forbidden to eat Ma'aser Sheini, which is not Kodesh - See Devarim 26:14.

See Torah Temimah, note 82.
