(a)In spite of the principle 'Kol Davar she'be'Chovah Eino Ba'ah Ela min ha'Chulin', Ula explains Beis Hillel permitting the Chagigah of the first day of Pesach to be brought from Ma'aser money - provided it only comes as a Tefeilah (to add to the Chulin that he is already bringing).

(b)According to Chizkiyah, Tefeilah is only permitted by adding an animal of Ma'aser to an animal of Chulin; whereas Rebbi Yochanan holds - that it is only permitted if he adds Ma'aser money to Chulin money (with which he purchases a larger animal for his Chagigah).

(c)The logic behind the opinion of ...

1. ... Chizkiyah is that it makes more sense to permit bringing a second animal from Ma'aser - seeing as he has already fulfilled his obligation with Chulin money.

2. ... Rebbi Yochanan is that Chazal would rather have permitted adding Ma'aser money to Chulin money and buying a larger animal - because then, he will be eating what he purchased with Chulin money with every mouthful.

2)

(a)We cite a Beraisa in support of Chizkiyah and a Beraisa in support of Rebbi Yochanan. The Beraisa in support of Rebbi Yochanan quotes the Pasuk (with regard to Shavu'os) "Misas ... Ka'asher Yevarechecha Hash-m Elokecha". The Tana learns from ...

1. ... "Misas" - that the Chagigah (and every obligatory Korban) can only be brought from Chulin (as will be explained later).

2. ... "Ka'asher Yevarechecha Hash-m Elokecha" - that if one so wishes, he may add Ma'aser money to Chulin money.

(b)The Beraisa in support of Chizkiyah quotes Beis Shamai, who say that on the first day, one must fulfill the Mitzvah of Chagigah from Chulin, and from then on, even from Ma'aser. Beis Hillel say - the first eating (which we currently think means the first animal) must be from Chulin; from then on, even from Ma'aser.

(c)The Tana adds that on the subsequent days of Pesach, one may also fulfill the Mitzvah (through Tefeilah) with Ma'asar Behemah. Rav Ashi explains that one cannot do so on the first day as well - in case one comes to Ma'aser his newborn animals, which is prohibited ...

(d)... because it entails marking the Ma'asered animals with red paint, which is forbidden on Yom Tov (see Tosfos DH 'Mishum').

(e)He learns from the Pasuk in Esther "va'Yasem ha'Melech Achashverosh Mas ... " - that "Misas" implies Chulin.

3)

(a)The Tana of another Beraisa learns from the (superfluous [see Tosfos DH 've'Samachta']) word in the Pasuk in Re'eh ...

1. ... "v'Samachta b'Chagecha" - to include all kinds of Semachos (i.e. any meat, even if it was not Shechted specifically as a Shalmei Simchah).

2. ... "v'Samachta b'Chagecha" - that one can only fulfill one's obligation with the meat of animals (like the Chagigah - where the Torah writes "Chelev Chagi" as we explained above), but not with that of birds or with Menachos.

(b)Rav Ashi learns even the second Derashah from "v'Samachta" - because, in his opinion, a person only feels Simchah when he eats the meat of animals.

(c)Rav Ashi Darshens "b'Chagecha" like Rav Daniel bar Ketina - who Darshens "b'Chagecha", 've'Lo b'Ishtecha" (that one may not get married on Yom Tov [as we learned in Mo'ed Katan]).

4)

(a)Our Mishnah describes how the proportion of Shelamim to Olos on Yom Tov is determined by the size of one's family and one's means. Someone who has ...

1. ... a large family and not much money - brings many Shelamim but only a few Olos.

2. ... a lot of money and a small family - brings many Olos but only a few Shelamim.

(b)On the one hand ...

1. ... Chazal specify one or two silver Ma'ah (see first Mishnah) - when someone has a small family and not much money; whilst on the other ...

2. ... the Torah writes in Re'eh "Ish k'Matnas Yado k'Virkas Hash-m Elokecha Asher Nasan Lach" - when he has a large family and a lot of money.

5)

(a)According to Rav Chisda, the Tana obligates someone who has a large family and not much money to bring a lot of Shelamim - by means of Tefeilah (adding Ma'aser money to the little Chulin money that he has, and purchasing a large bull).

(b)Rav Sheshes says 'Toflin Behemah li'Behemah'. He cannot simply be coming to preclude the possibility of being Tofel Ma'aser money to Chulin money, because if he was - he should have said 'Ein Toflin Ma'os l'Ma'os'.

(c)The problem with saying that he really means 'Af Toflin Behemah li'Behemah' - is that this would concur neither with the opinion of Rebbi Yochanan, nor with that of Chizkiyah.

6)

(a)We conclude that, according to Rav Sheshes, the Beraisos (quoted above, one as a support for Rebbi Yochanan, the other, for Chizkiyah) do not argue - meaning that the Beraisa which permits Tefeilah Behemah to Behemah concurs with the Beraisa which permits Ma'os to Ma'os (but not vice-versa).

(b)And when the Tana says 'Achilah Rishonah min ha'Chulin, he means (not that the first Se'udah must be from an animal that is Chulin, as we learned earlier, but) - that either the animal or the money of Chulin is sufficient for the first meal.

(c)Rav Sheshes rules like the Beraisa - which he has interpreted neither like Rebbi Yochanan nor like Chizkiyah.

7)

(a)Ula quoting Resh Lakish maintains that someone who designated ten animals for his Chagigah, of which he brought five on the first day of Yom Tov, must bring the remaining five on the second day. Rebbi Yochanan forbids it - because of 'Bal Tosif' (not adding to the Mitzvos).

(b)Rebbi Aba says that Resh Lakish and Rebbi Yochanan do not actually argue - because Rebbi Aba speaks when he initially stipulated that he would bring all ten animals, whereas Rebbi Yochanan speaks when he designated them Stam, without saying anything.

(c)If he failed to bring the remaining five animals due to a lack of time, then, even in a case of Stam, he will be permitted to bring the remaining five on the second day - and the same will apply if he did not bring them because of a shortage of family members and friends to eat them.

(d)In fact, it is only forbidden to being the rest - if he designated the animals Stam, brought five, and then, despite the fact that there was still time to bring the rest, and that there were people to eat more, he desisted from bringing the rest.

(e)We prove this from another (contradictory) statement made by Ravin quoting Rebbi Yochanan - who said that someone who designated ten animals for his Chagigah, of which he brought five on the first day of Yom Tov, brings the remaining five on the next day (Clearly then, Rebbi Yochanan agrees with Resh Lakish in a case when the owner specifically stipulated ten animals).

8)

(a)Rav Sheman bar Aba quoting Rebbi Yochanan says 'Lo Shanu Ela she'Lo Gamar, Aval Gamar, Chozer u'Makriv'. 'Gamar' cannot possibly mean that he has finished all the animals - because if so, what will he continue to bring?

(b)'Gamar' must therefore mean - that the day terminated before he had a chance to finish all ten animals.
