1) [line 6] TEISI B'VINYAN AV (BINYAN AV)
In the Introduction to the Sifra (the Halachic Midrash to Vayikra), Rebbi Yishmael lists thirteen methods that Chazal use for extracting the Halachah from the verses of the Torah. One of them is called Binyan Av. A Binyan Av (lit. "building through a father" -- father in this sense means a Biblical source), is a rule of Biblical interpretation in which one subject is deemed a prototype in order to apply a Halachah stated in that subject to other comparable subjects.

2a) [line 7] LISHTOK KERA MINEI - the verse (Vayikra 4:24) did not have to mention it (Semichah)
b) [line 8] V'TEISI B'VINYAN AV - and it can be learned through a Binyan Av (see above, entry #1), from the verse that deals with the Korban Chatas of the individual (Vayikra 4:29 or 33)

3) [line 8] SHA'AH MI'DOROS LO YALFINAN
Kodshei Sha'ah, Korbanos that are required to be offered at a specific time, for a specific occasion, such as the Se'ir Chatas of Nachshon, that was offered during the consecration of the Mishkan in the desert, cannot be learned from Kodshei Doros, Korbanos that are required to be brought for all time, in all generations, such as the Se'ir Chatas of an individual.

4) [line 14] U'MEKABEL BA'TZAFON - and he collects (lit. receives) the blood in the northern part of the Azarah of the Beis ha'Mikdash

5) [line 18] SHE'LO KAVA LO KOHEN - it does not require a Kohen [to slaughter it]

6) [line 20] KAVA LO KELI - it does require a utensil [for its slaughter]
7) [line 27] KALIL - it shall be entirely offered; it was totally burned on the fires of the Mizbe'ach

8) [line 35] "V'LAKACH [HA'KOHEN MI'DAM HA'CHATAS B'ETZBA'O...]" - "And the Kohen shall take [of the blood of the Chatas with his finger...]" (Vayikra 4:25)

9) [line 36] LO MASHMA LEI - he does not agree with the teaching of "Lakach - v'Lakach"

10) [line 42] BECHOR SHE'ACHAZO DAM - a Bechor animal that turned red because of a sudden surge of blood (BECHOR: HATALAS MUM)
(a) The Kedushah of Bechor rests on every first-born male of an ox, goat or sheep when it comes out of its mother's womb. Nevertheless, there is a Mitzvah for a person to sanctify it himself (Erchin 29a, based on Devarim 15:19). He must then give it to a Kohen; it may not be redeemed.
(b) If the animal has no Mum (blemish), the Kohen must bring it as a Korban during its first year. After its blood and Eimurim (see Background to Menachos 47:8) are offered on the Mizbe'ach, its meat is eaten in Yerushalayim during the following two days and the intervening night.
(c) If the animal has or develops a Mum, it becomes the property of the Kohen. It must be slaughtered and eaten during its first year. If it developed a Mum after the first year, it must be slaughtered and eaten within thirty days. The Kohen can give it away or sell it, even to a non-Kohen. However, it may not be sold in a meat market or weighed in the usual manner. It may not be redeemed with money.
(d) Intentionally inflicting a Mum in a Bechor is prohibited, as in all animals of Kodshim, as the verse states, "Tamim Yiheyeh l'Ratzon Kol Mum Lo Yiheyeh Vo" - "it shall be complete (unblemished) to find favor, no blemish shall be in it" (Vayikra 22:21). RASHI (here DH Lo Yiheyeh and to Bechoros 33b DH Kol Mum) teaches that the intention of Chazal is that the verse is read, "Lo *Yehayeh* Vo" - "do not *cause* [a blemish] in it." A person who inflicts a blemish in an animal of Kodshim (or its Temurah, with the exception of the Temurah of a Bechor and Ma'aser Behemah,) receives Malkus. (See SEFER HA'CHINUCH #287.)
(e) Now that there is no Beis ha'Mikdash, a Kohen must care for a Bechor until it develops a Mum. Alternatively, he can sell it, even if it has no Mum, to a non-Kohen, who may eat it after it develops a Mum. It may not be bought, however, in order to be sold for a profit (s#393, #445).

11) [line 43] MEKIZIN - to perform blood-letting, an accepted medical practice until modern times

12) [line 43] B'MAKOM SHE'EIN OSIN BO MUM - [he should perform the blood-letting, but only] near a limb in which a cut will not render the animal a Ba'al Mum (see TOSFOS to Bechoros 34a DH Ileima)

13) [line 45] YAKIZ AF AL PI SHE'OSEH BO MUM - he may perform the blood-letting even near a limb in which a cut will render the animal a Ba'al Mum (as long as he does not intend to make a Mum)

14) [last line] U'VILVAD SHE'LO YISHCHOT [AL OSO MUM] - as long as he does not slaughter the animal [because of that blemish] (i.e. he must wait for the animal to develop another blemish)

15) [line 2] AFILU MES - even if it will die if we do not let its blood

16) [line 4] MECHAMETZ ACHAR MECHAMETZ
(a) There is a prohibition to cause the dough of Menachos (either the Kometz or the Shirayim, the part that the Kohanim eat) to become leavened as it states, "Kol ha'Minchah... Lo Se'aseh Chametz" (Vayikra 2:11). An additional verse, "Lo Se'afeh Chametz," (Vayikra 6:10), specifically prohibits *baking* leavened Menachos.
(b) This extra verse is used to teach that once the dough of a Minchah offering is leavened, each and every subsequent process involved in preparing a baked Minchah offering is also prohibited ("Mechametz Achar Mechametz"). For example, if one person leavens the dough and another bakes it, they both transgress a Lav (Shabbos 111a, Menachos 55b).

17) [line 5] MESARES ACHAR MESARES - castrating after castrating (SEIRUS: MESARES ACHAR MESARES)
(a) It is prohibited to perform castration, as the Torah states, "[You shall not offer to HaSh-m an animal that has its testicles bruised or crushed, broken or cut;] neither shall you do this in your land" (Vayikra 22:24). A person who performs castration receives Malkus. (SEFER HA'CHINUCH #291) (b) A person who adds to the mutilation of the genitals caused by another person is also liable to Malkus.

18a) [line 6] U'MA'UCH - an animal whose testicles were crushed by hand
b) [line 6] VE'CHASUS - or with an instrument
c) [line 7] VE'NASUK - (a) or pulled loose (and completely detached from the body) (RASHI); (b) or severed (but remaining in their sac) (TOSFOS DH l'Havi, according to the Girsa of the TZON KODASHIM)
d) [line 7] VE'CHARUS - (a) or severed (but remaining in their sac) (Vayikra 22:24) (RASHI); (b) dislodged from their original position, but not severed (TOSFOS DH l'Havi, according to the Girsa of the TZON KODASHIM)

19) [line 9] MATIL MUM B'VA'AL MUM - to inflict a blemish in a blemished animal (HATALAS MUM B'KODSHIM)
(a) It is forbidden to blemish an animal of Hekdesh, as the verse states, "Tamim Yiheyeh l'Ratzon Kol Mum Lo Yiheyeh Vo" - "it shall be complete (unblemished) to find favor, no blemish shall be in it" (Vayikra 22:21). RASHI (here DH Lo Yiheyeh and to Bechoros 33b DH Kol Mum) teaches that the intention of Chazal is that the verse is read, "Lo *Yehayeh* Vo" - "do not *cause* [a blemish] in it."
(b) A person who inflicts a blemish in an animal of Kodshim (or its Temurah, with the exception of the Temurah of a Bechor and Ma'aser Behemah,) receives Malkus. (See SEFER HA'CHINUCH #287.) (According to most Rishonim, it is even forbidden to indirectly cause a sanctified animal to become blemished -- see YOSEF DA'AS.)

20) [line 10] "[V'ISH KI YAKRIV ZEVACH SHELAMIM...] KOL MUM LO YIHEYEH VO." - "[And a man who will bring a Korban Shelamim...] it shall not have any blemish." (Vayikra 22:21)

21) [line 11] "TAMIM YIHEYEH L'RATZON" - "it shall be complete (unblemished) to find favor" (Vayikra 22:21)

22) [line 13] DIKLA B'ALMA HU - it is comparable to a mere date-palm (i.e. since it had a Mum before it was sanctified and was never fit to be brought as a Korban, it is equivalent to a palm tree that one sanctified for the purpose of using its value to buy a Korban, to which the prohibition of inflicting a blemish does not apply)

23) [line 14] PESULEI HA'MUKDASHIM L'ACHAR PIDYONAM (PESULEI HA'MUKDASHIM)
(a) Pesulei ha'Mukdashin are Korbanos that became unfit to be offered upon the Mizbe'ach because of a Mum (blemish). After they are redeemed, it is still forbidden to work with them ("Avodah") or to shear them ("Gizah"). The milk they produce is also forbidden. They are only permitted to be eaten after being slaughtered (Bechoros 15b).
(b) The Mishnah in Bechoros (5:1) states that Pesulei ha'Mukdashin may be sold in the marketplace and weighed with a Roman Libra, a pound. These acts are normally considered unfitting for Kodshim, and are prohibited to be done to a Bechor (see above, entry #10:c)

24) [line 16] ASIREI V'GIZAH VA'AVODAH - it is prohibited to shear them or to work with them

25) [line 19] SHE'LO YIGROM LO AL YEDEI ACHERIM - that he should not cause in it a blemish through other means

26a) [line 20] BATZEK - dough
b) [line 20] DEVEILAH - a cake of pressed figs
27) [line 21] HA'OZEN - the ear [of an animal of Kodshim]
28) [line 23] HINI'ACH SE'OR - he place a piece of sourdough
29) [line 23] ISAH - a dough [from a Korban Minchah]
30) [line 24] K'MA'ASEH SHABBOS - like something that was produced on Shabbos by transgressing one of the 39 forbidden Melachos (categories of creative acts), such as roasting meat on coals (where the meat becomes roasted after some time)
