(a)The Pasuk (in connection with the D'vash of Bikurim and the Se'or of the Sh'tei ha'Lechem) "Korban Reishis" implies that - they can only be brought obligatorily (since we never find "Reishis" that is voluntary).

(b)Had the Torah written ...

1. ... the prohibition by "Se'or", we would not have known that it also applies to "D'vash", because the latter has a concession that the former does not - in that one is allowed to eat it together with the Sheyarei Menachos, but not Chametz.

2. ... the prohibition by "D'vash", we would not have known that it also pertains to "Se'or", because the latter is Hutar mi'Chelalo in the Mikdash, which we initially think means that - it may be brought as a Nidvas Tzibur ...

(c)... a Kashya on what we just concluded (that it is forbidden).

(d)Rav Amram answers Lo, Likarev Imahem!, by which he means that - the Heter in the Beis-Hamikdash is (not that a Nedavah is permitted, but) that, although Se'or may not be brought on its own - it is brought together with the Kivsei Atzeres (which D'vash is not).

(a)The ...

1. ... young doves and pigeons that accompany the Bikurim - are brought as a Korban.

2. ... wooden baskets in which the Bikurim are brought to the Beis-Hamikdash - are given to the Kohanim together with the Bikurim.

(b)To differentiate between the Kivsei Atzeres and the Sh'tei ha'Lechem which they accompany we explain that - whereas the latter are considered one Korban, the birds and the Bikurim are not, since the birds are only brought to adorn the basket of Bikurim, and are not obligatory.

(c)The Yerushalmi interprets the Mishnah in Bikurim that requires a Korban to be brought with the Bikurim - as a Korban Shelamim.

(d)To reconcile this with our current contention (that Bikurim does not come together with a Korban) - we explain that there is no obligation to bring the Korban together with the Bikurim. The obligation lies with the person who brings the Bikurim, to bring an independent Shelamim whenever it suits him.

(a)Rami bar Chama asked Rav Chisda whether someone who brings the Basar of an Olas ha'Of on the Mizbe'ach, has transgressed the La'av Kol she'Mimenu le'Ishim ... (Any Korban, part of which goes on the Mizbe'ach, one is Chayav for placing the Shirayim on the Mizbe'ach). He might ...

1. ... not have transgressed - because no part of it is officially brought on the Mizbe'ach.

2. ... have transgressed, on the other hand - because, after all, it is a Korban.

(b)Rav Chisda replied - in the affirmative.

(c)We conclude that this is actually a Machlokes Tana'im. Rebbi Eliezer says Kol she'Mimenu le'Ishim ... ; whereas Rebbi Akiva holds - Kol she'Shemo Korban ... .

(d)According to Rav Chisda, the ramifications of their Machlokes are Basar Chatas (as we just explained). According to Rava it is - Log Shemen shel Metzora (which does not go on the Mizbe'ach, yet the Torah calls it a Korban.

(e)The Asham Metzora is not considered Kol she'Mimenu le'Ishim', just like the two lambs that are brought together with the Sh'tei ha'Lechem - because there is no obligation to bring them together. In fact, the Kohen may bring the Log Shemen today and the Korban as much as ten days later.

(a)Commenting on the Pasuk "Ki Chol Se'or ve'Chol D'vash Lo Saktiru mimenu Isheh la'Hashem", the Beraisa, learns Miktzaso from the word "Chol", whereas from "Ki", he learns - Eiruvo (that one is Chayav even for bringing Chametz mixed with Matzah ([which is not recognizable]).

(b)According to Abaye, Kulo and Miktzaso refer to a k'Zayis and less than a k'Zayis respectively. Rava interprets Kulo as - the entire Kometz, and Miktzaso as part of it.

(c)Abaye maintains that there is such a thing as a Kometz that contains less than two k'Zeisim. That being the case - based on the Mishnah in ha'Kometz, which permits burning the Kometz in two lots, Haktarah can comprise less than a k'Zayis.

(d)Rava disagree with Abaye in this latter point - because, since in his opinion, there is no such thing as a Kometz of less than two k'Zeisim, the proof from the Mishnah that Haktarah can compriaw less than a k'Zayis falls away.

5)

(a)According to Rava, someone who brings a mixture of Se'or and D'vash up on the Mizbe'ach will receive - four sets of Malkos, one for Se'or, one for D'vash, one for Eiruvei Se'or and one for Eiruvei D'vash.

(b)Abaye disagrees with him - on the grounds that the two "Kol" ("Kol Se'or v'Chol D'vash") turns each of the two La'avin into a La'av She'bi'Kelalus (a La'av that includes a few things [Eiruv Se'or and Eiruv D'vash, as well as Se'or and D'vash themselves]).

(c)For bringing Se'or and D'vash on the Mizbe'ach, had the Torah omitted the words "Kol", and written "Ki Se'or u'D'vash Lo Saktiru Isheh la'Hashem" - he would receive two sets of Malkos (even according to Abaye), because the La'av refers to each one, and it is not a La'av she'bi'Kelalus.

6)

(a)When, in the first Lashon, we say that, in our case, although he does not receive two sets of Malkos, according to Abaye, he does receive one, we mean - one for "Kol Se'or" and one for "Kol D'vash".

(b)According to the second Lashon - he does not even receive one set of Malkos ...

(c)... because there is no specific La'av for any one thing (since each of the two La'avin incorporates two things, as we explained).

(d)As an example of a specific La'av, we present the La'av of Chasimah (muzzling one's ox) - which the Torah juxtaposes to the Parshah of Malkos, in order to learn from it some of the Dinim of Malkos.
