Why does the Torah write "Vehotzi es Kol ha'Par" ? independently and not simply continue "ve'Kirbo u'Pirsho" 'Yotzi el mi'Chutz la'Machaneh'?

1.

Zevachim 3a: To teach the Kohen that he must take the body of the Par whole from the Azarah and cut it up only prior to the burning. 1 .


1

Like a Korban Olah ? an indication that he is not burning it like one burns Nosar and Pesulei ha'Mukdashin ? in order to destroy them - but in order to sacrifice it there rather than on the Mizbe'ach (Oznayim la'Torah).

2)

What is the definition of "mi'Chutz la'Machaneh"?

1.

Rashi: Outside all three camps (the Machaneh Shechinah, the Machaneh Leviyah and the Machaneh Yisrael); 1 and in the time of the Beis-ha'Mikdash, outside Yerushalayim.


1

See Torah Temimah, note 44, citing Zevachim, 105b, who learns it from the three times "el mi'Chutz la'Machaneh" ? here, in Pasuk 21, by Par ha'Eidah and in Tzav, 6:4, by the Terumas ha'Deshen.

3)

Why does the Torah need to specify "el Makom Tahor"?

1.

Rashi: Because there is another location outside the town that is designated for Tum'ah - where they throw the stones of a house with Tzara'as 1 and for a Beis ha'Kevaros.


1

See Metzora Vayikra, 14:40 (Rashi).

4)

What is "Shefech ha'Deshen" referring to?

1.

Rashi and Rashbam: It refers to the spot outside the camp 1 where they poured the ashes from on the Mizbe'ach. 2


1

See Ba'al ha'Turim.

2

See Tzav Vayikra, 6:4 (Rashi and Rashbam).

5)

Why does the Torah repeat "el Shefech ha'Deshen ... "?

1.

Rashi: To teach the Kohen to burn the bull on that spot even if there are no ashes there. 1

2.

Zevachim, 106a: We learn from the 'Hey' of "ha'Deshen" that there must already be ashes there when the Kohen burns the bull. 2


1

See Sifsei Chachamim. Refer also to 4:12:9:1 and note.

2

See Torah Temimah, note 45.

6)

What does "Vesaraf oso" come to preclude?

1.

Sifra: It precludes a Pasul Korban, which is burned somewhere else. 1


1

See Torah Temimah, note 45.

7)

What sort of wood is used to burn the bull?

1.

Sifra: Any wood ? even straw or stubble. 1


1

See Torah Temimah, note 46.

8)

Why does the Torah add the word "Vesaraf oso ba'Eish "?

1.

Pesachim, 75a: To preclude burning it with boiling lime or 'Gafsis' calcium sulphate). 1


1

See Torah Temimah, note 47.

9)

Having already written "Vesaraf oso", why does the Torah need to add "al shefech ha?Deshen Yisaref"?

1.

Pesachim 75a: To teach us that he should burn it even if there are no ashes there 1 and that, even if most of it is already burned, he should continue to burn the rest.


1

Rashi (in Pesachim): If the ashes were removed. Refer to 4:12:5:2 and note.

10)

Why is the Par burned?

1.

Moshav Zekenim (in Pasuk 6): To hint that just like fire consumes everything, so too, does Hashem 'burn up' their sins. 1


1

As the Navi writes in Yeshayah 44:22 "Machisi cha'Av Pesha'echa"

11)

Why is the Par burned outside the camp, in public view?

1.

Moshav Zekenim citing the Rosh and Ba'al ha'Turim: So that, when the people see that even the Kohen Gadol confesses and brings his Chatas, they will not be embarrassed to do the same when they sin.
