Meilah 8

***** PEREK CHATAS HA'OF ****

1) ME'ILAH OF CHATAS HA'OF

(a) (Mishnah): Me'ilah applies to Chatas ha'Of from when it is Hukdash (consecrated);
(b) After Melikah, it is fit to become Pasul if touched by a Tevul Yom or Mechusar Kipurim, or through Linah;
(c) After Haza'ah (sprinkling its blood), one can be liable [for eating it] on account of Pigul, Nosar and Tamei; Me'ilah does not apply to it.
(d) (Gemara - Mishnah): After Melikah, it is fit to become Pasul if touched by a Tevul Yom or Mechusar Kipurim, or through Linah.
(e) Inference: It will become Pasul if they touch it, it will not become Tamei (to be Metamei other Kodshim).
(f) Question: Who is the Tana of the Mishnah?
(g) Answer #1: It is like Chachamim:
1. (Beraisa - Aba Shaul): A Tevul Yom is a Rishon l'Tum'ah regarding Kodshim (and he makes Kodesh a Sheni);
8b---------------------------------------8b

2. R. Meir says, a Tevul Yom makes Kodesh become Tamei (a Shelishi, which can be Metamei other Kodesh) and makes Terumah become Pasul (a Shelishi);
3. Chachamim say, just as he is Posel (but not Metamei) food and drink of Terumah, he is Posel food and drink of Kodshim.
(h) Answer #2 (Rava): (Our Mishnah could be like Aba Shaul or R. Meir -- it is teaching the d'Oraisa law, they are more stringent mid'Rabanan;)
1. Aba Shaul holds that [earlier] Chachamim made a Ma'alah (stringency) in Kodshim, to consider a Tevul Yom like a Rishon l'Tum'ah;
2. R. Meir holds that the Ma'alah was to consider a Tevul Yom like a Sheni;
3. Chachamim say, since he immersed, his Tum'ah is weak, therefore he is only Posel, he is not Metamei.
(i) (Mishnah): After Haza'ah, one can be liable... [Me'ilah does not apply].
(j) Inference: Me'ilah does not apply, but there is an Isur [even for a Kohen].
(k) Question: Why is it forbidden -- it belongs to the Kohen [to eat]!
(l) Answer (R. Chanina): The case is, it was Yotzei, it is like R. Akiva;
1. He holds that Zerikah takes effect on Yotzei, but it is forbidden to eat.
2) IS "MITZUY" OF A BIRD-OFFERING "ME'AKEV"?
(a) (Rav Huna citing Rav): Mitzuy of Chatas ha'Of is not Me'akev;
1. Rav's text in the Mishnah is, "After Haza'ah..." (Haza'ah alone achieves atonement).
(b) (Rav Ada bar Ahavah citing Rav): Mitzuy of Chatas ha'Of is Me'akev;
1. Rav's text in the Mishnah is "After Mitzuy...."
(c) Question: "Veha'Nish'ar ba'Dam Yimatzei El Yesod ha'Mizbe'ach Chatas Hu" -- we understand according to Rav Ada, it is a [valid] Chatas only if Mitzuy was done;
1. But according to Rav Huna, it is valid even without Mitzuy -- why does it say "veha'Nish'ar" (the rest of the blood must be pressed on the Mizbe'ach)?
(d) Answer: This teaches like Tana d'Vei R. Yishmael:
1. (Tana d'Vei R. Yishmael - Beraisa): Mitzuy is done if blood remains (if not, it is not Me'akev).
(e) Question: What do we learn from "Chatas Hu"?
(f) Answer: That refers to the Reisha (Haza'ah, it is Me'akev).
