What are the implications of the fact that the Torah juxtaposes "Vahaveisem Shamah" to "u'Vasa Shamah"?
Chagigah, 4b: It implies that only someone who is Chayav to appear in the Beis-Hamikdash (on Yom-Tov) is Chayav to bring the Korbanos ha'Chag, and that consequently someone who is Tamei is not obligated to send an Olas Re'iyah and Shalmei Chagigah via a Shali'ach 1 - and the same applies to a leper and to someone who emits a foul smell from his nose, 2 who cannot appear in the Azarah because it is not Kavod - Yerushalmi Chagigah, 1:1.
What is the definition of "Zivcheichem", "Ma'asroseichem" and "T'rumas Yedchem", respectively?
Rashi: 'Your obligatory 1 Shelamim', 'your Ma'aser Beheimah and Ma'aser Sheini', and 'your Bikurim' 2 - all of which must be eaten within the walls of Yerushalayim. 3
Ramban #1: "Ma'asroseichem" refers to Ma'aser Rishon that one gives to the Levi and "T'rumas Yedchem", to Terumah Gedolah that one gives to the Kohen. 4 You should bring both to the Beis-Hamikdash, 5 to enable the Kohanim and the Levi'im to join you there, to rejoice together with their families.
Ramban #2, Targum Onkelos and Targum Yonasan: "T'rumas Yedchem" refers to money that one designates to purchase Olos or Shelamim. 6
Since voluntary Shelamim are included in "Nidreichem ve'Nidvoseichem". See also Oznayim la'Torah DH 've'Zivcheichem'.
Rashi: See Torah Temimah, note 27, and refer to 12:5:2:1**.
See Oznayim la'Torah DH 'Ma'asroseichem'
Ramban: It is called "T'rumas Yedchem" because the Torah did not fix a Shi'ur for Terumah, and one may give whatever amount the hand sets aside.
Ramban: As the Pasuk specifically writes in Mal'achi, 3:10. See Ramban, who elaborates.
Ramban: "T'rumas Yedchem Nidreichem ve'Nidvoseichem" teaches three ways of donating Olos and Shelamim ? via a Neder ('Harei alai Korban Shor, Kesev O Eiz'), by means of a Nedavah ('Harei Zu Korban'), or by means of a T'rumah (One takes the animal to the Beis-ha'Mikdash, hands it over to the Kohanim and declares 'Harei Zu mi'Yadi la'Hashem!'
Why are "Oloseichem", "Zivcheichem" and "Ma'asroseichem" written in the plural?
Sifri: "Oloseichem" incorporates Olos Yachid and Olos Tzibur, "Zivcheichem", Shalmei Yachid and Shalmei Tzibur, and "Ma'asroseichem" Ma'aser Dagan (Sheini) and Ma'aser Beheimah 1 (to teach us that like Ma'aser Sheini, one brings Ma'aser Beheimah exclusively from Eretz Yisrael - but not from animals that one owns in Chutz la'Aretz - B?choros, 53a).
See Torah Temimah note 26
What are the connotations of "u'Vechoros Bekarchem"?
Rashi: That the owner must take his B'choros to Yerushalayim to give them to the Kohen for him to sacrifice on the Mizbe'ach.
Why are "Bechoros Bekarchem" and "ve'Tzonchem" written in the plural?
