1) DISQUALIFIED MINCHAH OFFERINGS

(a) The Minchah is burned in any of these cases: if she admitted her guilt; if witnesses to her guilt came; if she refuses to drink; if her husband does not want her to drink; or if her husband had relations with her after the seclusion.
(b) If her husband is a Kohen, her Minchah is burned;

1. Even a Bas Yisrael, if she is married to a Kohen, any Minchah she brings is burned;
2. Even a Bas Kohen, if she is married to a Yisrael, (the remains) of a Minchah she brings is eaten.

(c) Question: What differences are there between a Kohen and a Bas Kohen?
(d) Answer: A Bas Kohen's Minchah is eaten; that of a Kohen is not eaten;

1. A Bas Kohen becomes disqualified to Kehunah through forbidden relations; a Kohen does not;
2. A Bas Kohen may become Teme'ah Mes; a Kohen may not;
3. A Kohen may eat the most sanctified sacrifices; a Bas Kohen may not.

(e) Question: What differences are there between a man and a woman?
(f) Answer: A male leper does Pri'ah (Tana'im argue if this means to let his hair grow, or to bare his head) and tears his clothes - a female leper does not;

1. A man can impose Nezirus on his son - a woman cannot;
2. A (male) Nazir can bring sacrifices (when he completes Nezirus) from money his late father set aside for his own Nezirus - a (female) Nezirah cannot;
3. A man can engage his daughter to a man - a woman cannot engage her daughter to a man;
4. A man can sell his daughter to be a slave - a woman cannot sell her daughter;
5. A man that is stoned, is stoned naked - a woman is not;
6. A man (worthy of hanging) is hanged - a woman is not;
7. A man is sold as a slave to pay for his theft - a woman is not.

(a) (Gemara - Beraisa): The Minchah of a Kohen's wife is burned.

1. Whether her father is a Kohen, Levi, or Yisrael, her Minchah cannot be eaten since her husband has a share in it; the entire Minchah cannot be burned on the Altar, because she has a share in it;
2. Rather, the Kometz is offered, and the rest is offered by itself.

(b) Question: Whatever is partially offered on the Altar, there is a prohibition to burn the remainder!
(c) Answer (Yehudah, son of R. Shimon ben Pazi): The remainder is offered as if it was wood, as R. Eliezer.

1. (Beraisa - R. Eliezer): You cannot offer (the remainder) as a pleasing scent (i.e. sacrifice), but you can offer it as wood.
2. This is a valid answer according to R. Eliezer.

(d) Question: According to Chachamim that argue on R. Eliezer - what is done with the remainder?
(e) Answer: (We burn it on the ash heap), as R. Eliezer b'Rebbi Shimon.

1. (Beraisa - R. Eliezer b'Rebbi Shimon ): The Kometz is offered by itself, and the rest is burned on the ash heap.

2. Even Chachamim, who argue on R. Eliezer b'Rebbi Shimon, only argue regarding a Minchah sin-offering of a Kohen, since they hold it is entirely offered; by the Minchah of a Kohen's wife, they agree.

(f) (Mishnah): A Bas Yisrael married to a Kohen ...
(g) Question: Why is the Minchah of a Bas Kohen eaten?
(h) Answer: It says "Every Minchah of a Kohen is entirely burned, it may not be eaten" - of a Kohen (male), not of a Kohenes.

(a) (Mishnah): A Bas Kohen becomes disqualified to Kehunah through forbidden relations; a Kohen does not.

1. Question: What is the source of this?
2. Answer: "He will not profane his seed" - a Kohen profanes his seed, not himself.

(b) (Mishnah): A Bas Kohen may become Teme'ah Mes ...

1. Question: What is the source of this?
2. Answer: "Say to the Kohanim, the sons of Aharon" - not the daughters of Aharon.

(c) (Mishnah): A Kohen may eat the most sanctified sacrifices ...

1. We learn from "Every male among the children of Aharon will eat it".

(d) (Mishnah): What differences are there between a man and a woman? (A male leper does Pri'ah...).

1. (Beraisa): "A man" - one might have thought, only a man can become an absolute leper - "The leper that has" includes a woman.

i. Question: If so, why does it say "A man"?
ii. Answer: To teach that the subsequent laws of Pri'ah and tearing clothes only apply to a man.

(e) (Mishnah): A man can impose Nezirus on his son - a woman cannot.

1. This is a tradition from Moshe from Sinai.

(f) (Mishnah): A Nazir can bring sacrifices from his father's money - a Nezirah cannot.

1. This is a tradition from Moshe from Sinai.

(g) (Mishnah): A man can engage his daughter to a man - a woman cannot.

1. We learn from "(Her father says) 'I gave my daughter to this man'".

(h) (Mishnah): A man can sell his daughter to be a slave - a woman cannot.

1. We learn from "When a man will sell his daughter".

(i) (Mishnah): A man that is stoned, is stoned naked - a woman is not.

1. Question: What is the source of this?
2. Answer: "They will stone him".

i. Question: What does this exclude?
ii. Suggestion: A woman is not stoned.
iii. Rejection: "You will take out the man or the woman (to stone them)"!
iv. Answer: Rather, a man is stoned (alone) without his clothes, a woman is not.

(j) (Mishnah): A man is hanged ...

1. Question: What is the source of this?
2. Answer: "You will hang him on a tree" - not a woman.

(k) (Mishnah): A man is sold as a slave to pay for his theft - a woman is not.

1. Question: What is the source of this?
2. Answer: "He will be sold for his theft" - not for her theft.

4) WOMEN WHO DO NOT DRINK

(a) (Mishnah): An engaged wife or a Shomeres Yavam neither drinks nor receives a Kesuvah - "Under her husband" excludes them;
(b) A widow married to a Kohen Gadol, a divorcee or Chalutzah married to a regular Kohen, a Mamzeres or Nesinah married to a Yisrael, or a Bas Yisrael married to a Mamzer or Nesin - she neither drinks nor receives a Kesuvah;
