(The Mishnah teaches that if a Minchas Nesachim is brought independently, either as a voluntary offering or as an obligatory one but at a later date than the animal offering which it accompanies, it is not subject to Pigul, since it has no Matir. If it is brought together with the Olah or Shelamim, a thought of Pigul during the Avodah of the animal offering causes the Nesachim to become Pigul as well.)

(a)The offering of the Chatas ha'Of (Vayikra 5:8-9) consists of three procedures:

1.MELIKAH - Standing on the floor of the Azarah near the southwestern corner of the Mizbe'ach, the Kohen cuts the back of the neck of the bird with his right thumbnail. He makes sure to cut one Siman (either the trachea or the esophagus), but not to sever the entire neck of the bird.

2.HAZAYAH - The Kohen sprinkles its blood on the Mizbe'ach (directly from the neck of the bird), below the Chut ha'Sikra (red line) that is located halfway up the Mizbe'ach.

3.MITZUY - The Kohen presses the cut neck of the bird to the Mizbe'ach and squeezes its remaining blood onto the Mizbe'ach.

(b)The Chatas ha'Of is eaten by the Kohanim on the day that it is offered and the following night. No part of it is burned on the Mizbe'ach.

This means that, in the case of a Korban that was disqualified as Pigul, if the Korban was brought upon the Mizbe'ach and was then taken down, it may be brought up again. In the case of Nosar and Tamei, this means that one who eats them will not be liable for the prescribed punishment for eating meat that is Nosar.

17)[line 8]îæáç î÷åä èäøäMIZBE'ACH MIKVAH TAHARAH- is the Mizbe'ach a purifying Mikvah? (That is, does the Mizbe'ach purge an item of its Tum'ah simply by having that item brought upon it?)

20)[line 34]èåîàú ùøõTUM'AS SHERETZ

(a)A Sheretz (a crawling pest - see Vayikra 11:29-38 for a list of the eight Sheratzim, and Background to Chulin 122:7), even if it or a part of it is only the size of an Adashah (lentil bean), is an Av ha'Tum'ah (Chagigah 11a, Ohalos 1:7). It makes a person or object Tamei at the level of a Rishon l'Tum'ah through Maga (contact), whether the Sheretz was touched willingly or unwillingly. The person who becomes Tamei by touching a Sheretz may not eat Terumah or Kodshim or enter the Azarah of the Beis Ha'Mikdash. However, he can immediately immerse in a Mikvah. After nightfall he becomes Tahor and may eat Terumah or Kodshim or enter the Azarah.

(b)In addition to Tum'as Maga, a dead Sheretz that is found in an earthenware oven makes the oven and all food or drink items that are in it Temei'im, whether the Sheretz touches them or not.

(c)It is forbidden to eat the abovementioned Sheratzim that generate Tum'ah, as well as all other creeping pests, as the verse states, "v'Chol ha'Sheretz ha'Shoretz Al ha'Aretz, Sheketz Hu, Lo Ye'achel." - "And all creeping things that creep on the ground are an abhorrence, they shall not be eaten" (Vayikra 11:41). If a person eats a k'Adashah of a dead Sheretz (of the eight Sheratzim that generate Tum'ah) or a k'Zayis of a live Sheretz (or of all other types of Sheratzim, dead or alive) b'Mezid (intentionally) after Hasra'ah (being forewarned), he is punished with Malkus (lashes) (Chulin 122a; SEFER HA'CHINUCH Mitzvah #162).

21)[line 34]èåîàú îúTUM'AS MES

If a person (or utensil) became Tamei through touching Tum'as Mes or being in the same room as a Mes or something that is Metamei b'Ohel, he must wait seven days to become Tahor. On the third and seventh days he must have spring water mixed with the ashes of the Parah Adumah (Mei Chatas, see Background to Avodah Zarah 46:19) sprinkled on him. A person who is Tahor dips three Ezov branches that have been bound together into the mixture, and sprinkles them on the person who is Tamei. On the seventh day, he immerses in a Mikvah after the mixture is sprinkled on him in order to complete his Taharah (Bamidbar 19:17-19).
