Zevachim 51

ZEVACHIM 51 - sponsored by Harav Ari Bergmann of Lawrence, N.Y., out of love for the Torah and for those who study it.

1)

(a) What final four part question do we ask in connection with 'Davar ha'Lamed be'Binyan-Av"?

(b) We try to resolve one of the four She'eilos from the Beraisa (which, based on the opinion of Rebbi Yehudah in 'ha'Mizbe'ach Mekadesh', who holds in certain cases of 'Pesulo ba'Kodesh, 'Im Alah, Yered', asks) 'Mipnei Mah Amru Lan be'Dam, Kasher?' (see Tosfos DH 'P'shot').
What does this mean?

(c) From where do we know that ...

  1. ... 'Lan be'Dam, Kasher'?
  2. ... 'Lan be'Eimurin, Kasher'?
(d) And why is 'Lan be'Basar, Kasher'?
2)
(a) Why are the following also included in the list of 'Im Alah, Lo Yered' ...
  1. ... Yotzei?
  2. ... Tamei?
  3. ... Chutz li'Zemano?
  4. ... Chutz li'Mekomo?
  5. ... she'Kiblu Pesulin ve'Zarku es Damo'?
(b) Which of the four She'eilos do we try to resolve from this Beraisa?
3)
(a) We ask how the Tana can possibly learn someone illegal from something that is legal.
Besides learning 'Lan be'Eimurim' from 'Lan be'Basar', what are we referring to?

(b) What do we mean when we answer that the Tana relies on the Pasuk in Tzav "Zos Toras ha'Olah"?

(c) How does this affect our proof?

4)
(a) We learned in our Mishnah that the Sheyarei ha'Dam of the Chata'os must be poured on to the western Yesod of the Mizbe'ach ha'Chitzon.
How do we learn this from the Pasuk in Vayikra (in connection with the Par Kohen Mashi'ach) "el Yesod Mizbach ha'Olah Asher Pesach Ohel Mo'ed"?

(b) The Beraisa discusses the many times the phrase "el Yesod Mizbach ha'Olah" occurs.
What is the significance of this phrase in the Parshah of the Par Kohen Mashi'ach?

5)
(a) What does the Toras Kohanim learn (with regard to the Mizbe'ach ha'Penimi) from "el Yesod Mizbach ha'Olah" written by the Par He'elam Davar shel Tzibur?

(b) How does the Tana know that the Pasuk is not coming to teach the Kohen where to pour the Sheyarei ha'Dam of the Par He'elam Davar?

(c) What does the Tana mean when to explain "el Yesod Mizbach ha'Olah" written by the Sa'ir Nasi, he says 'Ten Yesod le'Mizbe'ach shel Olah'?

(d) And how does the Tana know that the Pasuk is not coming to teach the Kohen to pour the Sheyarei ha'Dam of the Sa'ir Nasi on the Yesod of the Mizbe'ach ha'Chitzon, and not the Mizbe'ach ha'Penimi?

6)
(a) What does the Tana mean when he suggests 'O Eino Ela le'Mizbechah shel Olah Ten Yesod'?

(b) Rebbi Yishmael answers this Kashya with a 'Kal-va'Chomer' from the Sheyarei Chatas? Which 'Kal-va'Chomer'?

7)
(a) From the first "el Yesod Mizbach ha'Olah", the Beraisa learned 've'Lo Yesod Mizbach ha'Penimi'.
How do we query this statement?

(b) But did we not learn that the Mizbe'ach ha'Penimi did not have a Yesod?

(c) How do we refute the query? From where do we know that the Shirayim of the Par Kohen Mashi'ach

  1. ... *may* be poured on the Mizbe'ach ha'Chitzon?
  2. ... *must* be poured on the Mizbe'ach ha'Chitzon?
Answers to questions

51b---------------------------------------51b

8)

(a) From the third "el Yesod ... ", we learned 'Ten Yesod le'Mizbe'ach shel Olah'. We already explained why the simple explanation (to pour the Shirayim on the Yesod of the Mizbe'ach ha'Chitzon, and not of the Mizbe'ach ha'Penimi) seems obvious.
On what grounds do we nevertheless suggest that that is what it comes to teach us? Why might we still have thought that one should pour the blood of the Sa'ir Nasi on the Yesod of the Mizbe'ach ha'Penimi?

(b) On what grounds do we reject this suggestion?
