Having already taught the prohibition against offering a Ba'al-Mum on the Mizbe'ach in Vayikra, 22:22, why does the Torah repeat it here?

1.

Ramban: Because of the Din of "Kol Davar Ra" that is mentioned together with it. 1 /

2.

Sifri: In order to Darshen that the issues mentioned in the Pasuk are subject to a La'av, but not if one brings an Olah before a Chatas, the Pesach before the Tamid or the Musafin before the Temidim - even though the Korban itself is Pasul. 2


1

Refer to 17:1:2:1.

See Torah Temimah, note 1.

What is "Kol Davar Ra" referring to?

1.

Rashi: With reference to forbidden speech, 1 it is a warning 2 against rendering Kodshim Pigul. 3

2.

Targum Yonasan: It refers to bringing on the Mizbe'ach a stolen animal or an animal that one purchased by force.

3.

Sifri: It is a La'av against somone who Shechts a Korban outside the allotted time or location. 4

4.

Sifri: It refers to someone who brings on the Mizbe'ach an animal that is born with a blemish, 5 with various kinds of warts, or one that is sick, old or one with foul breath (or one that sweats profusely),

5.

Ba'al ha'Turim #1: With reference to indecent speeach - it teaches us that someone who uses indecent speech is called 'To'evah'. And is hated (by Hashem).

6.

Ba'al ha'Turim #2 (citing Kidushin, 40a): Based on the fact that the Pasuk continues 'Ish O Ishah asherYa'aseh es ha'Ra ... Vayeilech Vaya'avod Elohim Achefim", itt teaches us that someone who merely speaks or thinks idolatry is considered as if he actually worshipped idols - 'Machshavah ke'Ma'aseh'.

Ramban - the Torah is warning the owner, who is permitted to Shecht his Korban. Kohanim (who are Zerizim) do not require additional warnings. Refer to 1:1:1:1*. See also Sifsei Chachamim.

By stating during one of the four major Avodos ha'Dam that he intends to eat the meat (or burn the Eimurim) after its permitted time or location.
