Why does the Torah write "Va'asher Yiten ... " rather then "Va'asher Yisach"?

1.

Kerisus, 6b: To establish the Shi'ur for which one is Chayav as a k'Zayis. 1

Kerisus, Ibid.Which is how 'Nesinah' is usually interpreted. See Torah Temimah, note 61. See also Oznayim la'Torah,

2)

What are the implications of the word "Va'asher Yiten Mimenu al Zar"?

1.

Kerisus, 5a: It implies that the prohibition of anointng is confined to the Shemen ha'Mishchah that Moshe made. 1


1

According to R. Meir Refer to 30:25:1:1*) anointing with a replica of the Shemen ha'Mishchah was not possible, since no oil would have remained.

3)

What is the definition of a "Zar" in the current context?

1.

Rashi and Ramban #1 (citing Kerisus, 6a): It pertains to someone who is neither a Kohen Gadol (prior to his inauguration) nor a king (prior to his coronation).

2.

Ramban #2 (citing Ibn Ezra) and Targum Yonasan: It pertains to anyone who is not a descendent of Aharon - even a king. 1

See Ramban.

4)

Who is Chayav Kareis?

1.

Rashi and Rashbam: Someone who anoints a Zar with the Shemen ha'Mishchah of Moshe. 1


1

But not if he anoints him with the replica that somebody else made (Rashi). Refer to 30:33:1.1:1.

5)

Bearing in mind that the Torah inserts only one Kareis for both replicating the Shemen ha'Mishchah and anointing with it, how mant Chata'os must a person bring performs both?

1.

Kerisus, 3a: Two - Because, despite the fact that the Torah mentions only one Kareis between them, 1 in Pasuk 32, it presents them as two La'avin. 2

See Torah Temimah, note 64.

2

See Torah Temimah, note 65.

6)

Why does the Torah forbid making oil like the Shemen ha'Mishchah, and replicating the Ketores for personal use in Pasuk 38?

1.

Da'as Zekenim and Hadar Zekenim: Because a commoner may not use the king's scepter. 1


1

Da'as Zekenim and Hadar Zekenim: And it is for the same reason that the Torah forbids making a room with the dimensions of the Heichal, or a candelabra of seven branches like the Menorah (Rosh Hashanah, 24a).
