Since the Pasuk writes "ha'Makriv oso Lo Yechashev" indicating that the Korban can only become Pasul when it is sacrificed (and not when it is eaten), why does the opening phrase suggest that it can become Pasul when it is eaten?

1.

Rashi and Rashbam: The opening phrase is (not referring to someone who eats the Shelamim on the third day, but is) a prohibition against intending at the time of Shechitah or Hakravah 1 to eat it on the third day, 2 and that, if he did, it becomes Pigul, and may not be eaten.

2.

Targum Onkelos and Targum Yonasan: The Pasuk teaches us that, if the owner eats the Shelamim on the third day, the Kohen loses the merit of the Hakravah. 3


1

Rashbam: This incorporates Kabalas ha'Dam, Holachas ha'Dam and Zerikah.

2

Rashi: Since "Lo Yechashev" indicates that the Torah is referring specifically to a P'sul Machshavah.

3

See Yayin ha'Tov.

2)

What are the connotations of "ha'Makriv oso Lo Yechashev"?

1.

Refer to 7:18:1:2

2.

Zevachim, 29a: It teaches us that a Korban can only become Pasul at the time of the Hakravah (but not on the third day retroactively) 1 in which case the Pasuk must be speaking about Pigul. 2


1

Refer to 7:18:1:2. See also Torah Temimah, note 55.

2

Refer to 7:18:1:1. The Gemara there also learns this from the words "Lo Yechashev", implying a P'sul Machshavah, and not one of action.

3)

If "ha'Makriv oso" is referring to Zerikah, what will be the Din if the Kohen has a thought of Pigul during the Shechitah or the Kabalas ha'Dam?

1.

Zevachim, 13a: "ve'Im He'achol Ye'achel" teaches us that Pigul applies to any Avodah that leads to Achilah. 1


1

And to the Holachah as well. See Torah Temimah, note 57. who elaborates.

4)

Why does the Torah use the double Lashon "ve'Im He'achol Ye'achel"?

1.

Zevachim, 13b: To extend the Din of Pigul to Achilas Mizbe'ach - where the Kohen sprinkles the blood with the intention of burning the Emurim or of pouring the leftover blood the next day. 1


1

If the Kohen were to burn the Emurim or pour the leftover blood with the intention of eating the Basar on the next day however, it would not be Pigul. See Torah Temimah, note 59.

5)

In the previous D'rashah, why does the Torah refer to Haktarah as Achilah?

1.

Menachos, 17b: To teach us that a. it is considered Pigul irrespective of whether the Kohen uses a Lashon Haktarah or one of Achilah; b. The Shi'ur Pigul regarding Haktarah, like the Shi'ur Achilah, is a ke'Zayis. 1


1

See Torah Temimah, note 60.

6)

Why does the Torah add the (otherwise superfluous) word "Zevach Shelamav"?

1.

Zevachim, 28b: To include all Korbanos that have 'Mefaglim' (Dam) and 'Mispaglim' (Basar) in the Din of Pigul. 1


1

But not the Kometz, the Levonah, the Ketores, the Minchas Kohen Mashi'ach and the Minchas Nesachim, which do not have a Matir. See Torah Temimah, note 62.

7)

What is the word "ha'Makriv Oso" coming to preclude?

1.

Zevachim, 29a: It precludes a Korban that the owner delays in bringing from "Lo Yeratzeh". 1


1

See Torah Temimah, notes 66 and 67, who elaborates.

8)

What are the implications of "Lo Yechashev"?

1.

Refer to 7:18:1:2 and note 2.

2.

Zevachim, 29b: It implies that if the Kohen has any other Machshavos Pesulos ? such as Machsheves Chutz li'Mekomah (in which case the Korban would be Pasul anyway) - that of Chutz li'Zemanah does not take effect, and the Korban is not subject to Kareis.

9)

What is the definition of the word "Pigul"?

1.

Radak: Putrid.

2.

R' Sa'adyah Gaon: Disgusting.

3.

Targum Onkelos: Rejected;

4.

Targum Yonasan: Pasul.

10)

What is the word "Pigul Yih'yeh" coming to include?

1.

Zevachim, 29a: It includes where the Kohen has in mind to eat half a ke'Zayis Chutz li'Zemano (which we learn from "ba'Yom ha'Shelishi") and half a ke'Zayis Chutz li'Mekomo (which we learn from "PIgul") 1 - in which case the two combine to render the Korban Pasul. 2

2.

Oznayim la'Torah: The Torah here writes "Pigul Yih'yeh" and in Kedoshim (19:7) "Pigul Hu", because whereas here it follows a command, there it speaks where someone has actually transgressed.


1

See Torah Temimah, note 69.

2

But not Chayav Kareis for which Chutz li'Zemano requires a ke'Zayis. See Oznayim la'Torah, note 69. Refer also to 7:18:3:1 and note.

11)

When must one eat the Korban in order to be Chayav Kareis?

1.

Rashi: Any time after the Machsheves Pigul, even within the two-day period.

12)

What is the word "ha'Ocheles Mimenu" coming to teach us?

1.

Zevachim, 29a: It teaches us that even though the Pasuk mentions both Machsheves Chutz li'Zemano and Machsheves Churz li'Mekomo, 1 only one of them ? Machsheves Chutz li'Zemano, 2 is subject to Kareis. 3


1

Refer to 7:18:1.7:1.

2

Zevachim (Ibid.): Which we learn "Avon" "Avon" from Nosar ? See Torah Temimah, note 70 ? to which it is similar both time-wise and because both apply to a Bamah, whereas Chutz li'Mekomo is not. And from the same Gezeirah Shavah we preclude the Korban of a Nochri from the Chiyuv of Pigul Chutz li'Zemano, just as it is ptrcluded from Nosar. See Torah Temimah.

3

Though the Korban is Pasul. See Torah Temimah, note 70, who elaborates.

13)

What are the connotations of "Avonah Tisa"?

1.

Kerisos, 5a: We learn from a Gezeirah Shavah "Avonah Tisa" "Avonah Yisa" in Kedoshim, 10:8, in connection with Nosar, that he is Chayav Kareis.,

QUESTIONS ON RASHI

14)

Rashi writes that an improper intention makes Pigul. But the Gemara in Gitin 54b states "He heard him make Pigul,' implying that it is through speech?

1.

Moshav Zekenim: 'Machshavah' refers to speech, like the Gemara in Bava Metzi'a 43b 'ha'Choshev li'Shelo'ach Yad', which means that he actually said so.
