(a)According to Rav Hamnuna, an Eglah Arufah becomes Asur be'Hana'ah already during its lifetime. What does Rabah say?

(b)What problem do we have with Rav Hamnuna, that does not exist according to Rabah?

(c)In reply, Rav Hamnuna cites Rebbi Yanai, who did indeed once hear of a specific point at which the Eglah Arufah becomes forbidden, but he could not recall what it was. What did he therefore suggest?

1)

(a)According to Rav Hamnuna, an Eglah Arufah becomes Asur be'Hana'ah already during its lifetime. Rabah gives the moment of Isur as - le'Achar Arifah (after its neck is broken).

(b)The problem with Rav Hamnuna is that, whereas Rabah ascribes a specific moment to the Isur - he does not. So at which point does the Isur take effect?

(c)In reply, Rav Hamnuna cites Rebbi Yanai, who did indeed once hear of a specific moment during the animal's lifetime at which the Eglah Arufah becomes forbidden, but he could not recall what it was. So he suggested that - it was when it was taken down to the Nachal Eisan (an uncultivated valley), prior to having its neck broken.

2)

(a)In support of his opinion, Rav Hamnuna quotes a Mishnah in Chulin, where Rebbi Shimon exempts someone who Shechts a Parah Adumah, a Shor ha'Niskal or an Eglah Arufah, from the Isur of Oso ve'es B'no. What do the Chachamim say?

(b)How does he explain the basis of their Machlokes?

(c)What problem does he have with understanding the Machlokes according to Rabah?

(d)And he refutes the suggestion that it is a Shechitah she'Einah Re'uyah, because Arifah incorporates Shechitah (which therefore renders it Asur be'Hana'ah no less than the actual Arifah), by citing a Mishnah in Chulin, which rules that Arifah is Kasher by Eglah, but Pasul by Parah (Adumah). What does the Tana say about Shechitah?

2)

(a)In support of his opinion, Rav Hamnuna quotes a Mishnah in Chulin, where Rebbi Shimon exempts someone who Shechts a Parah Adumah, a Shor ha'Niskal or an Eglah Arufah, from the Isur of Oso ve'es B'no. The Chachamim - declare him Chayav.

(b)He explains the basis of their Machlokes as - whether a Shechitah she'Einah Re'uyah (one that does not permit the animal to be eaten) is considered a Shechitah (the Chachamim) or not (Rebbi Shimon).

(c)The problem he has with understanding the Machlokes according to Rabah is that - since the Arifah has not yet taken place, at the time of Shechitah (according to him), the animal is still permitted, so why does Rebbi Shimon consider it a Shechitah she'Einah Re'uyah?

(d)And he refutes the suggestion that it is because Arifah incorporates Shechitah (which therefore renders it Asur be'Hana'ah no less than the actual Arifah), by citing a Mishnah in Chulin, which rules that Arifah is Kasher by Eglah, but Pasul by Parah (Adumah) - whereas Shechitah is Kasher by Parah but Pasul (as Arifah) by Eglah.

3)

(a)What was Rabah's initial response to Rav Hamnuna's Kashya?

(b)Why, after Rav Hamnuna left the room, could he have kicked himself? What simple answer could he have given to explain Rebbi Shimon, even according to his opinion?

(c)On what grounds would Rav Hamnuna have rejected that answer outright?

3)

(a)Initially, Rabah had no answer to counter Rav Hamnuna's Kashya - so he responded with silence.

(b)However, after Rav Hamnuna left the room, he could have kicked himself - for not answering that the Mishnah in Chulin goes according to the Chachamim, but that Rebbi Shimon will hold Eglah bi'Shechitah Kesheirah.

(c)Rav Hamnuna would have rejected that answer outright however - because we do not find a Mishnah or Beraisa that cites such an opinion (in which case it doesn't exist).

4)

(a)Rabah support his opinion however, from our Mishnah, which rules 'Eglah Arufah Einah Kein; Im ad she'Lo Ne'erfah, Teitzei ve'Tir'eh be'Eider'. What does this prove?

(b)To counter the Kashya, how does Rav Hamnuna amend ...

1. ... the Mishnah's statement?

2. ... the Mishnah's following ruling 'mi'she'Ne'erfah, Tikaver bi'Mekomah'?

(c)What problem remains with Rav Hamnuna's opinion, from the Seifa 'she'al ha'Safek Ba'ah mi'Techilah, Kiprah S'feikah ve'Halchah lah'?

4)

(a)Rabah supports his opinion however, from our Mishnah, which rules 'Eglah Arufah Einah Kein; Im ad she'Lo Ne'erfah, Teitzei ve'Tir'eh be'Eider' - a Kashya on Rav Hamnuna, in whose opinion the Eglah has already become Asur be'Hana'ah before the Arifah.

(b)To counter the Kashya, Rav Hamnuna amends ...

1. ... the Mishnah's statement to - 'Im ad she'Lo Nir'is la'Arifah ... '.

2. ... the Mishnah's following ruling 'mi'she'Ne'erfah, Tikaver bi'Mekomah' to - 'mi'she'Nir'is la'Arifah ... '.

(c)The problem that still remains with Rav Hamnuna's opinion from the Seifa 'she'al ha'Safek Ba'ah mi'Techilah, Kiprah Sefeikah ve'Halchah lah' is that - since according to him, the Tana includes a case where the Eglah is still alive, the term 'Kiprah ... ' is simply incorrect.

5)

(a)So we cite a Beraisa (Tana de'bei Rebbi Yishmael) in support of Rav Hamnuna, which compares Machshir and Mechaper ba'Chutz to Machshir and Mechaper bi'Fenim'. What is the difference between Machshir and Mechaper?

(b)If Machshir ...

1. ... bi'Fenim refers to Asham Metzora, to what does Mechaper bi'Fenim refer?

2. ... ba'Chutz refers to the Tziprei Metzora, to what does Mechaper ba'Chutz refer?

(c)In which regard does the Torah compare ...

1. ... Machshir bi'Fenim to Mechaper bi'Fenim?

2. ... Machshir ba'Chutz to Mechaper ba'Chutz?

(d)What does this have to do with Eglah Arufah?

5)

(a)So we cite a Beraisa (Tana de'bei Rebbi Yishmael) in support of Rav Hamnuna, which compares Machshir and Mechaper ba'Chutz to Machshir and Mechaper bi'Fenim. Machshir - refers to a Korban whose purpose is to permit the owner to do something, whereas Mechaper - comes to atone for his sin.

(b)Machshir ...

1. ... bi'Fenim refers to Asham Metzora, Mechaper bi'Fenim, to - other Chata'os and Ashamos.

2. ... ba'Chutz refers to the Tziprei Metzora, Mechaper ba'Chutz, to - the Sa'ir ha'Mishtale'ach.

(c)The Torah compares ...

1. ... Machshir bi'Fenim to Mechaper bi'Fenim - with regard to the Dinim of Chata'os and Ashamos (which are not mentioned in the Parshah of Asham Metzora.

2. ... Machshir ba'Chutz to Mechaper ba'Chutz - with regard to it being prohibited already during its lifetime.

(d)And if the Tana compares Machshir to Mechaper, then he will certainly compare Mechaper to Mechaper (Eglah Arufah to Sa'ir ha'Mishtale'ach) with regard to prohibiting it already in its lifetime.

6)

(a)What does Rebbi Eliezer in our Mishnah say about Asham Taluy?

(b)How did they therefore refer to Rebbi Eliezer's Ashamos?

(c)What did they say about Bava ben Buta? When did he not bring an Asham Taluy?

(d)What did he swear by the Beis-Hamikdah he would have done, had he had his way?

(e)What do the Chachamim of Rebbi Eliezer say?

6)

(a)Rebbi Eliezer in our Mishnah - permits bringing an Asham Taluy - on any day and at any time (even without having committed a known sin ...

(b)... which explains why they referred to his Ashamaos as Asham Chasidim.

(c)They said that Bava ben Buta brought an Asham Taluy every day - except for the day after Yom Kipur (when he knew that he had not sinned, and that there was not even a Safek Aveirah to which to attribute it.

(d)He swore by the Beis-Hamikdah that, had he had his way - he would also have brought it then (only they made him wait until there was at least a chance that he may have sinned).

(e)The Chachamim of Rebbi Eliezer confine the Din of Asham Taluy - to someone who may have committed a Safek sin for which one is Chayav Kareis be'Meizid, and Chatas, be'Shogeg.

7)

(a)What distinction does the Tana draw between Chayvei Chata'os and Ashamos Vada'in after Yom Kipur and Chayvei Ashamos Teluyin?

(b)And what does the Mishnah say about ...

1. ... someone who performs a Safek Aveirah on Yom Kipur any time up to Bein-Hashemashos? Why is that?

2. ... a Yoledes who has a Safek Chatas ha'Of to bring and Yom Kipur passes?

3. ... a Chatas ha'Of Safek that becomes clarified after the Melikah has already been performed?

(c)How does Rebbi Eliezer prove that Asham Taluy is not an obligatory Korban?

7)

(a)The Tana draws a distinction between Chayvei Chata'os and Ashamos Vada'in - which one remains obligated to bring after Yom Kipur, and Chayvei Ashamos Teluyin - from which one is Patur.

(b)The Mishnah also rules that ...

1. ... someone who performs a Safek Aveirah on Yom Kipur any time up to Bein-Hashemashos - is Patur, because each moment of the entire day atones.

2. ... a Yoledes who has a Safek Chatas ha'Of to bring and Yom Kipur passes - remains Chayav to bring it afterwards, since it comes (not to atone, but) to permit her to eat Kodshim.

3. ... a Chatas ha'Of Safek that becomes clarified after the Melikah has already been performed - must be buried.

(c)Rebbi Eliezer proves that Asham Taluy is not an obligatory Korban - because if it was, then why would the Torah obligate the owner to then bring a Chatas, in the event that he discovers that he definitely sinned.

8)

(a)To counter Rebbi Eliezer, how do the Chachamim define the difference between Olah and Shelamim on the one hand, and Chatas and Asham on the other?

(b)How do they then explain the corollary between an Asham Taluy and the Chatas that one brings in the event that one discovers that he did sin?

(c)Rav Acha b'rei de'Rava asked Rav Ashi why Asham Taluy, like Olah and Shelamim, might not be brought both as a Chovah and as a Nedavah. Where do we find an Olah and a Shelamim that are brought as a Chovah?

(d)What did Rav Ashi reply?

8)

(a)To counter Rebbi Eliezer, the Chachamim, defining the difference between Olah and Shelamim on the one hand, and Chatas and Asham on the other - explain that Olah and Shelamim are Nedavos, and Chatas and Asham, Chovos.

(b)And to explain the corollary between an Asham Taluy and the Chatas that one brings in the event that one discovers that he did sin, they explain that (due to the Torah's pity on a Yisrael suffering) the purpose of an Asham Taluy is to protect the owner from any punishment between the time that he performed the act until he discovers that he sinned.

(c)Rav Acha b'rei de'Rava asked Rav Ashi why Asham Taluy (like Olah and Shelamim - which are brought as a Chovah on Yom-Tov, in the form of an Olas Re'iyah and a Shalmei Chagigah), might not be brought both as a Chovah and as a Nedavah.

(d)To which Rav Ashi replied that - Olah and Shelamim are different, inasmuch as they function mainly as Nedavos, whereas the main function of an Asham Taluy is as a Chovah (in which case it is illogical to place it also under the category of Nedavah.

25b----------------------------------------25b

9)

(a)On what grounds did Rava query the Beraisa that Rebbi Chanina quoted 'Asham Taluy Ba al ha'Neveilah' Mah Nafshach?

(b)What was Rebbi Chanina's reaction to Rava's Kashya?

(c)What answer did he cite in the name of Rabah?

(d)What is the source of ...

1. ... Amru lo's ruling? From which Pasuk in Vayikra do they obligate an Asham Taluy even by a Safek La'av?

2. ... the Rabbanan, who confine Asham Taluy to a La'av which carries with it Kareis and Chatas? Which Gezeirah-Shavah does Rabah cite?

9)

(a)Rava queried the Beraisa that Rebbi Chanina cited 'Asham Taluy Ba al ha'Neveilah' mi'Mah Nafshach, on the grounds that 'Mah Nafshach' - the Rabbanan require a La'av which carries Kareis and a Chatas, whereas Rebbi Eliezer permits even a Nedavah.

(b)Rebbi Chanina's reaction to Rava's Kashya was - to scold him for not attending Rabah's Shi'urim more diligently, because if he had, he would have heard how he (Rebbi Chanina) had asked Rabah this question many times, and Rabah had answered ...

(c)... that the Beraisa goes according to Amru lo (Bava ben Buta, who requires some sort of Safek Chet, even if it is only a La'av).

(d)The source of ...

1. ... Amru Lo's ruling is the Pasuk in Vayikra - " ... asher Lo Se'asenah ve'Ashem" (implying any La'av).

2. ... the Rabbanan, who confine Asham Taluy to a La'av which carries with it Kareis and Chatas, Rabah cites as - the Gezeirah Shavah "Mitzvos" "Mitzvos" (from Chatas Cheilev).

10)

(a)How does Rav Yosef interpret the Beraisa which states that the five Ashamos atone, whereas Asham Taluy does not?

(b)To which five Ashamos is the Tana referring?

(c)Why can the author of the Beraisa not be Rebbi Eliezer? In which case does Asham Taluy atone completely according to him?

(d)Ravina explains that whereas nothing else can replace the atonement of the five Ashamos, something else does replace the atonement of the Asham Taluy. What is that 'something else'?

(e)What does Rebbi Eliezer say about that?

10)

(a)Rav Yosef interprets the Beraisa which states that the five Ashamos atone, whereas Asham Taluy does not, to mean that - whereas the five Ashamos complete the atonement of the sinner, Asham Taluy does not, since, in the event that he discovers that he sinned, he remains obligated to bring a Chatas.

(b)The five Ashamos referred to by the Tana are - Asham Gezeilos, Me'ilos, Shifchah Charufah, Nazir and Metzora.

(c)The author of the Beraisa cannot be Rebbi Eliezer - who maintains that Asham Taluy also atones for Safek Neveilah, which is not Chayav a Chatas like Chayvei Kareis are.

(d)Ravina explains that whereas nothing else can replace the atonement of the five Ashamos, Yom Kipur replaces the atonement of the Asham Taluy - (as we learned in our Mishnah) ...

(e)... even according to Rebbi Eliezer.

11)

(a)What does Rav Dimi Amar Rebbi Ami Amar Rebbi Chanina initially learn from the Pasuk in Acharei-Mos (in connection with the Sa'ir ha'Na'aseh bi'Fenim) "ve'Chiper al ha'Kodesh ... u'mi'Pish'eihem le'Chol Chatosam"?

(b)On what grounds does Abaye refute the proof from this Pasuk? What sort of sins does the Sa'ir ha'Na'aseh bi'Fenim atone for?

(c)Which Korban then atones for sins which are known?

(d)From which Pasuk there do we then preclude sins which require a Chatas from the Kaparah of Yom Kipur, according to Abaye?

11)

(a)Rav Dimi Amar Rebbi Ami Amar Rebbi Chanina initially learns from the Pasuk in Acharei-Mos "ve'Chiper al ha'Kodesh ... u'mi'Pish'eihem le'Chol Chatosam" that - the Sa'ir ha'Na'aseh bi'Fenim (the Sa'ir la'Hashem on Yom Kipur) atones for Chata'im (be'Shogeg) that are similar to Pesha'im (rebellious sins), which do not require a Korban (Chatas or Asham).

(b)Abaye refutes the proof from this Pasuk - on the grounds that the Sa'ir ha'Na'aseh bi'Fenim atones for unknown sins, whereas our Mishnah is talking about sins about which the Torah writes "O Hoda eilav Chataso".

(c)The Korban that atones for sins which are known - is the Sa'ir la'Azazel (the Sa'ir ha'Na'aseh ba'Chutz).

(d)According to Abaye, the Pasuk which preclude sins which require a Chatas from the Kaparah of Yom Kipur, are - the words "Kol Pish'eihem le'Chol Chatosam" (in the Pasuk there "ve'Hisvadah alav es Kol Avonos B'nei Yisrael ve'es Kol Pish'eihem le'Chol Chatosam" [based on the same D'rashah as that of Rav Dimi]).

12)

(a)Rav Dimi queried Abaye's source from a Mishnah in the second Perek. Which Mishnah?

(b)When Ravin arrived from Eretz Yisrael, he cited Rebbi Asi Amar Resh Lakish, who also quoted a Pasuk in Acharei-Mos in this regard. Which Pasuk?

(c)What did Abaye comment on that?

(d)On what grounds did Abaye reject Ravin's answer that we go after the majority of Pesha'im which are not Chayav a Korban?

12)

(a)Rav Dimi queried Abaye's source from a Mishnah in the second Perek - which cited four cases of Pesha'im for which one is obligated to bring a Korban (a refutation of the answer that he himself quoted, as well as that of Abaye).

(b)When Ravin arrived from Eretz Yisrael, he cited Rebbi Asi Amar Resh Lakish, who also quoted the Pasuk in Acharei-Mos - "ve'es Kol Pish'eihem le'Chol Chatosam" in this regard.

(c)On which Abaye commented that - he too had cited this Pasuk, but Rav Dimi had proved it wrong, by citing the Mishnah in the second Perek.

(d)Abaye rejected Ravin's answer, that we go after the majority of Pesha'im, which are not Chayav a Korban - in that the Pasuk makes no mention of majority here.

13)

(a)Abaye finally quoted the beginning of the previous Pasuk "ve'Hisvadah alav es Kol Avonos B'nei Yisrael". Based on the fact that "Avonos" (like "Pesha'im") refers to sins performed on purpose, how does this help solve our problem? What is now our source for the ruling that Yom Kipur does not atone for Chayvei Chata'os?

(b)What does Rebbi Elazar learn from the Pasuk there "mi'Kol Chatosam lifnei Hash-m Tit'haru"?

(c)What did Rav Tachlifa Avuhah de'Rav Huna citing Rava extrapolate from there regarding the previous Halachah (concerning Chatas Vaday)?

(d)What did he come to preclude?

13)

(a)Abaye finally quoted the beginning of the previous Pasuk "ve'Hisvadah alav es Kol Avonos B'nei Yisrael". Based on the fact that "Avonos" (like "Pesha'im") refers to sins performed on purpose, this helps solve our problem - by now rendering the Pasuk (that we quoted earlier) "ve'es Kol Pish'eihem le'Chol Chatosam", superfluous (since Pesha'im means sins performed on purpose, just like Avonos). Consequently, the Torah must mention them to indicate the comparison of Chata'im to Pesha'im (in spite of the Pircha), which in turn, serves as the source for the ruling that Yom Kipur does not atone for Chayvei Chata'os, as we explained.

(b)Rebbi Elazar learns from the Pasuk there "mi'Kol Chatosam Lifnei Hash-m Tit'haru" that - Yom Kipur atones for Chata'os about which only Hash-m knows (Asham Taluy) ...

(c)... at the same time precluding, says Rav Tachlifa Avuhah de'Rav Huna citing Rava - the Chatas Vaday that we discussed in the previous Halachah, for which Yom Kipur does not atone.

(d)And he comes to preclude - the D'rashos of Rav Dimi and Abaye, which he considers a Dochek, since the Kashyos that the Gemara originally asked remain intact.
