8)

(a)The Sa'ir ha'Na'aseh ba'Chutz (on Yom Kipur) atones for Tum'ah where there is Yedi'ah at the end but not at the beginning. What is the 'Sa'ir ha'Na'aseh ba'Chutz'?

(b)What are the implications of 'no Yedi'ah at the beginning'?

(c)We learn this ruling from the Sa'ir ha'Na'aseh bi'Fenim from a Hekesh ("S'ir Echad Chatas Milevad Chatas ha'Kipurim" [in Pinchas]). What is 'the Sa'ir ha'Na'aseh bi'Fenim?

(d)How do we learn that the latter atones for where there is a Yedi'ah of Tum'ah at the beginning, from the Pasuk in Acharei-Mos "le'Chol Chatosam"?

(e)What does the Hekesh now teach us?

8)

(a)The 'Sa'ir ha'Na'aseh ba'Chutz' - the goat that is brought together with the Musaf on Yom Kipur, atones for Tum'ah where there is Yedi'ah at the end but not at the beginning.

(b)The implications of 'no Yedi'ah at the beginning' are that - he was totally unaware of the concept of Tum'ah (See Tos. Yom-Tov).

(c)We learn this ruling from the Sa'ir ha'Na'aseh bi'Fenim - the goat whose blood is brought into the Kodesh Kodshim together with that of the bull, from a Hekesh ("S'ir Echad Chatas Milevad Chatas ha'Kipurim" [Pinchas] See Tos. Yov-Tov]).

(d)We learn that the latter atones for Tum'ah where there is Yedi'ah at the beginning, from the Pasuk in Acharei-Mos "le'Chol Chatosam" - which implies that it atones for sins that could in principle, lead to a Chatas (which they will not do if there is no Yedi'ah at the beginning).

(e)The Hekesh now teaches us that - just as the Sa'ir ha'Na'aseh bi'Fenim atones for where there was a Yedi'ah of Tumah at the beginning (but not at the end), so too, does the Sa'ir ha'Na'aseh ba'Chutz atone for where was a Yedi'ah at the end (but not at the beginning).

10)

(a)As part of which Korban does one bring the Se'irei ha'Ragalim and the Se'irei Rosh Chodesh?

(b)According to Rebbi Yehudah, what do they both atone for?

(c)How does he learn this from the words "le'Chatas la'Hashem" (in the Pasuk in Pinchas [in connection with Musaf Rosh Chodesh] "u'Se'ir Izim Echad le'Chatas la'Hashem")?

(d)And how does he then learn the Yamim Tovim from Rosh Chodesh from the word "u'S'ir" (which appears in each of the Musafin)?

10)

(a)One brings the Se'irei ha'Ragalim and the Se'irei Rosh Chodesh as part - of the Korban Musaf.

(b)According to Rebbi Yehudah, they both atone for - Tum'ah (See Tos. Yom-Tov) where there is no Yedi'ah, either at the beginning or at the end.

(c)He learns this from the words "le'Chatas la'Hashem" (in the Pasuk in Pinchas [in connection with Musaf Rosh Chodesh] "u'S'ir Izim Echad le'Chatas la'Hashem") - which implies that nobody other than Hash-m knows about the sin.

(d)And he learns the Yamim Tovim from Rosh Chodesh - from the 'Vav' in the word "u'Se'ir" (which appears in each of the Musafin), which is superfluous and which therefore teaches us that they all come to atone for the same sin as the Sa'ir of the Musaf.

11)

(a)What does Rebbi Shimon say? Which of the above Korbanos atones for where there is no Yedi'ah either at the beginning or at the end?

(b)Then what does the Sa'ir of Rosh Chodesh come to atone for?

(c)Rebbi Meir says that all of the above goats come to atone for Tum'as Mikdash ve'Kodoshav. What exactly does this incorporate?

(d)What then, is the sole exception?

(e)What is the point of different Korbanos atoning for the same sin?

11)

(a)According to Rebbi Shimon - only the Sa'ir of the Tom-Tov Musafin atones for where there is no Yedi'ah either at the beginning or at the end, but not the Sa'ir of Rosh Chodesh (See Tos. Yom-Tov) ...

(b)... and the Sa'ir Rosh Chodesh comes to atone for - a Tahor person who ate a Tamei Korban (See Tos. Yom-Tov).

(c)Rebbi Meir says that all of the above goats come to atone for Tum'as Mikdash ve'Kodo5tshav - incorporating where there is Yedi'ah only at the end but not at the beginning or whether there is no Yedi'ah at all and on a Tahor who ate a Tamei Korban ...

(d)... with the sole exception of the Sa'ir ha'Na'aseh bi'Fenim, which atones for where there is a Yedi'ah at the beginning but not at the end (See Tos. Yom-Tov).

(e)The point of different Korbanos atoning for the same sin - lies in the fact that each subsequent Korban atones for sins that were perpetrated after the previous one was brought.

12)

(a)After Rebbi Shimon repeated what each of the above Musafin (Rosh Chodesh, Yom-Tov and Yom Kipur) atone for, the Chachamim asked him whether one can atone for the other. What did they mean by that?

(b)What is the case?

(c)What did he answer ...

1. ... initially?

2. ... when they queried his ruling, bearing in mind that each one atones for a different aspect of Tum'ah?

(d)Who actually queried Rebbi Shimon's answer?

12)

(a)After Rebbi Shimon repeated what each of the above Musafin (Rosh Chodesh, Yom-Tov and Yom Kipur) atones for, the Chachamim (See Tos. Yom-Tov) asked him whether one can atone for the other, by which they meant - whether one is permitted to sacrifice an animal that is designated for one of them for another Musaf ...

(b)... where for example, the goat that was designated for Yom Kipur got lost and was found again after they replaced it with another one; and they then want to bring it for the Musaf of Yom-Tov or of Rosh Chodesh.

(c)He answered ...

1. ... initially - that this was permitted, and ...

2. ... when they queried his ruling, bearing in mind that each one atones for a different aspect of Tum'ah - he answered that that did not matter, seeing as they all come to atone for Tum'as Mikdash ve'Kodashav.

(d)Rebbi Meir is the one who queried Rebbi Shimon's answer (See Tos. Yom-Tov).

(a)Rebbi Shimon ben Yehudah agrees that, according to Rebbi Shimon, the Sa'ir Rosh Chodesh atones for a Tahor person who ate a Tamei Korban. What did he say about ...

1. ... the Se'irei ha'Regalim?

2. ... the Sa'ir of Yom Kipur (ha'Na'aseh bi'Fenim)?

(b)Here too, when the Chachamim asked him whether one can atone for the other, he replied in the affirmative. How did they query him this time?

(c)What did he reply?

13)

(a)Rebbi Shimon ben Yehudah agrees that, according to Rebbi Shimon, the Sa'ir Rosh Chodesh atones for a Tahor person who ate a Tamei Korban. He said that ...

1. ... the Se'irei ha'Regalim - atones for a Tahor person who ate a Tamei Korban as well as for Tum'as Mikdash ve'Kodoshav where there was neither Yedi'ah at the beginning nor at the end (See Tos. Yom-Tov).

2. ... the Sa'ir of Yom Kipur (ha'Na'aseh bi'Fenim) - atones for the previous two as well as for where there was no Yedi'ah at the beginning but there was at the end (See Tos. Yom-Tov).

(b)Here too, when the Chachamim asked him whether one can atone for the other, he replied in the affirmative. This time however, they pointed out that it is understandable how the Yom Kipur Sa'ir can atone for that of Rosh Chodesh, but how is the reverse possible, seeing as the Rosh Chodesh Sa'ir does not share the same Kaparah as that of Yom-Kipur?

(c)To which he gave the same reply as he did earlier - that it doesn't matter, seeing as they all come to atone for Tum'as Mikdash ve'Kodashav

(b)Which Korban then atones for all other sins, irrespective of whether they are Kalos or Chamuros, Z'donos or Shegagos ... ?

(c)From where does the Mishnah learn that the Sa'ir ha'Mishtale'ach atones even for Z'donos?

14)

(a)In conjunction with Yom Kipur - the Sa'ir ha'Na'aseh bi'Fenim atones for Zadon Tum'as Mikdash ve'Kodoshav.

(b)The Sa'ir ha'Mishtale'ach - atones for all other sins, irrespective of whether they are Kalos or Chamuros, Z'donos or Shegagos ... .

(c)The Mishnah learns that the Sa'ir ha'Mishtale'ach atones even for Z'donos - from the word "u'mi'Pish'eihem" (in the Pasuk in Acharei-Mos, written in connection with it "u'mi'Pish'eihem le'Chol Chatosam").

1. ... 'Kalos'?

2. ... 'Chamuros'?

(b)To what does 'Hoda ve'Lo Hoda' refer?

(b)'Hoda ve'Lo Hoda' refers - to Shegagos (whether one is aware of the Safek or not).

(a)What does the Tana Kama mean when he says 'Both Yisre'eilim, the Kohanim and the Kohen Mashu'ach'?

(b)According to him, what is the one difference between Yisre'eilim and Kohanim?

(c)Rebbi Shimon maintains that the blood of the Par atones for Tum'as Mikdash ve'Kodoshav. What does he say about the Viduy of the Par?

(d)In what major point does Rebbi Shimon disagree with the Tana Kama?

16)

(a)When the Tana Kama says 'Both Yisre'eilim, the Kohanim and the Kohen Mashu'ach', he means - that the Sa'ir ha'Mishtale'ach atones for all three equally with regard to all other sins (See Tos. Yom-Tov).

(b)According to him, the one difference between Yise'eilim and Kohanim - is in connection with Tum'as Mikdash ve'Kodoshav, in that the blood of the Par atones for the Kohanim (See Tos. Yom-Tov DH 'Mechaper al ha'Kohanim' & 'Ela she'Dam ha'Par'), and the Sa'ir ha'Penimi, for the Yisre'eilim.

(c)Rebbi Shimon maintains that the blood of the Par atones for Tum'as Mikdash ve'Kodoshav, whereas the Viduy over the Par atones for the Kohanim vis-a-vis all other sins (lust like the Viduy over the Sa'ir ha'Mishtale'ach atones for the Yisre'eilim (See Tos. Yom-Tov).

(d)Consequently, according to him - the Kohanim have no share in the Sa'ir ha'Mishtale'ach.
