Why was the Chatas (whose blood is sprinkled on the outer Mizbe'ach) burned outside the camp and not eaten like other Chata'os Chitzoniyos?

1.

Ramban (in Pasuk 3): Because, since it was brought for the same reason as the Par on Yom Kipur, 1 it followed the same procedure as it.

2.

Oznayim la'Torah based on the Sifra: In fact, Aharon's sin was already pardoned before Hashem commanded Moshe to appoint him Kohen Gadol, and the Chatas came only to close the mouth of the Satan, to prevent him from prosecuting him

Refer to 9:2:2:2**.

2

As the Ramban explains in connection with the burning of the Parim ha'Nisrafin, the Sa'ir ha'Mishtale'ach and the Parah Adumah.

2)

How did Aharon know to burn the Chatas outside, seeing as Moshe did not instruct him to do so?

1.

Rashi: Moshe did instruct Aharon to burn it outside the camp, even though the Torah does record it. 1

2.

Ramban (in Pasuk 3) and Moshav Zekenim (in Pasuk 2): He understood that it is like the Chatas of Yom Kipur.


1

Ramban and Moshav Zekenim (Ibid.): Since Aharon only did what Moshe instructed him, and Moshe told Aharon only what Hashem commanded him.

QUESTIONS ON RASHI

3)

Rashi writes that the only Chata'os Chitzoniyos that were burned were this (of Aharon) and the Milu'im. But also the second bull of the Levi'im (Beha'aloscha Bamidbar, 8:8), the Chata'os in the days of Ezra (Ezra 8:35) and in the days of Mashi'ach (Yechezkel 45:22 & 25) were or will be burned?

1.

Riva (in Sh'mos 29:14): Also of the Levi'im was Milu'im (to inaugurate them), and those in Ezra and Yechezkel. In Horiyos (6a), the Gemara states that it was a Hora'as Sha'ah. Rashi means 'except for this, and of the Milu'im, and similar matters.'

2.

Moshav Zekenim #1 (Sh'mos 29:14): We can say that the second bull of the Leviyim 1 was an inner Chatas, for they brought it for the Tzibur.

3.

Moshav Zekenim #2 (Bamidbar 8:8): The second bull of the Levi'im was not burned on the Mizbe'ach. Rashi discusses Chata'os burned on the Mizbe'ach. 2


1

Moshav Zekenim did not address the Chata'os of Ezra or Yechezkel. The Pasuks call them Olos (or ka'Olah), which connotes that they were offered and burned on the outer Mizbe'ach. Perhaps he holds that they were Milu'im, like Riva (refer to 9:11:151:1). (PF)

Refer to 9:11:151:2*.
