1)

For which type of sin is a Yachid Chayav a Chatas?

1.

Horayos, 5a: For a La'av that carries a Chiyuv Kareis ? which we learn from the 'Vav' of "ve'Im Nefesh Achas ... ", which compares it to the Din of Nasi 1 which precedes it.


1

Refer to 4:22:1.1:1 and note.

2)

Why does the Torah use the multiple Leshonos "ve'Im Nefesh Achas Techet'a" (all in the singular)?

1.

Shabbos: In order to exempt from bringing a Chatas for Chilul Shabbos a. Re'uven and Shimon, in a case where, in the process of carrying an article from one domain to another on Shabbos, one of them picks it up and the other one puts it down 1 b. Re'uven and Shimon, where they are both capable of carrying an article single-handedly, but they opt to carry it out together, and c. someone who performs a Melachah on Shabbos based on a ruling of the Sanhedrin.


1

See Torah Temimah, note 107.

3)

Why here, by the Chatas Yachid, does the Torah write "Nefesh Achas" whereas by the Korban Olah ve'Yoreid and the Ashamos in the following Parshiyos, it omits the word "Achas"?

1.

Oznayim la'Torah (in 5:1): Because the Din of Eiz O Keves does not apply to a Nasi (or to a Kohen Gadol), the Korban that the Torah prescribes in the subsequent Parshiyos applies to them as well. 1


1

See Oznayim la'Torah, who elaborates.

4)

Why does the Torah add the words "me'Am ha'Aretz"?

1.

Horayos, 2a: To preclude a Mumar, whose Korban is not accepted. 1

2.

Horayos, 11a: To preclude a Kohen Mashi'ach and a Nasi from bringing the Chatas of a Yachid. 2

3.

Sifra: To teach us that, despite the Lashon Nefesh Achas, even two or three people sin, they bring a Kisbah or a Se'irah like a Yachid; and so do the majority of the Kahal who sinned, even though, if they follow the ruling of the Sanhedrin, the Sanhedrin bring a Par.


1

Refer to 4;24:4:1 and see Torah Temimah note 86, where he explains why we need both Drashos.

2

See Torah Temimah, note 109.

5)

Why does the Torah draw a distinction between a Hedyot and a Nasi (who is also a Yachid):

1.

Oznayim la'Torah: Because whereas a Nasi sins due to his high position, 1 the Hedyot sins on account of his lowliness. 2 And this also explains why whereas the Hedyot may bring a lamb, 3 brings a goat ? the symbol of Ga'avah. 4


1

His pride - Refer to 4:22:1:5.

2

His earthliness ? which is why the Torah refers to him as "Am ha'Aretz."

3

See Oznayim la'Torah DH 'me'Am ha'Aretz'.

4

Refer to 4:23:151:2.

6)

What are the implications of the word "ba'Asosah"?

1.

Shabbos, 93a: It implies "ba'Asosah" - 'Kulah, ve'Lo Miktzasah' (the whole Melachah and not part of it) - exempting two people who carry an article into the R'shux has'Rabim on Shabbos, from a Chiyuv Chatas. 1

See also Ba'al ha'Turim.

7)

Why is part of every Asham, Chatas Hedyot and Chatas Nasi eaten by the Kohanim?

1.

Seforno: Because by all Korbanos that come on account of sin, the eating of the Kohanim helps achieve a Kaparah for the owner. 1


1

Refer to Sh'mos, 29:33:1:1**.

8)

Why does the Torah write "Mitzvos Hashem"?

1.

Refer to 4:22:2:3.
