What are the implications of "ba'Harimchem es Chelbo mimenu"?
Sifri: It is a warning to the Levi'im to separate T'rumas Ma'aser from the best of the Ma'aser that they receive. 1
Rashi (in Shmuel 1, 15:21: It is synonymous with the Pasuk in Shoftim Devarim, 18:4 ?Reishis Degancha?.
Why does the Torah add the word "es Chelbo Mimenu"?
Oznayim la'Torah: Since, as opposed to the Yisrael, who can select what is genuine 'Cheilev' from his crops, the Levi can only separate from what he receives from the Yisrael. The Torah therefore instructs him to give from the best of what he receives, even if it is not resally 'Cheilev'.
What are the connotations of ?Tevu?as Goren? and ?Tevu?as Yekev??
Rashi (in Rosh Hashanah, 12b): Both grain and wine fall under the category of ?Tevu?ah?.
In what respect is the Torah comparing the Ma'aser from which T'rumas Ma'aser has been taken to Tevu'as Goren and Tevu'as Yekev?
Rashi: It is permitting the Levi to eat it as regular Chulin, just as the Yisrael is allowed to eat his produce 1 after tithing it.
Rashi (in Rosh Hashanah, 12b): Grain and wine both fall under the heading of 'Tevu'ah'.
Why do we need a Pasuk to permit the Levi to eat his Ma'aser as Chulin?
Rashi: Because, since, in Pasuk 24, the Torah referred to it as Terumah, we would otherwise have thought that it remains forbidden to Zarim.
