To whom does the prohibition of "Al B'sar Adam Lo Yisach" pertain?
Rashi 1 and Ramban (both in Pasuk 33): To anyone - even a king (who is not being crowned) and a Kohen Gadol (who is not being inaugurated).
Kerisus, 6b: "Adam" also precludes animals, Keilim and dead people, all of whom do not fall under the category of 'Adam' - whereas Nochrim are precluded from the fact that whoever is ineligible to anoint is not included in the prohibition of being anointed. 2
Kerisus, 7a: It pertains even to a Kohen Gadol who takes Shemen ha'Mishchah from his head and rubs it on his stomach. 3
What does the La'av of "u've'Maskunto Lo Sa'asu Kamohu" entail?
Rashi: It entails making a replica of the ingredients of the Shemen ha'Mishchah according to the ratio per Hin of oil specified by the Torah.
What if someone replicates the Shemen ha'Mishchah in order to teach how to make it (for the Mitzvah) or in order to hand it over to the Tzibur to use?
Kerisus, 5a: We learn from a Gezeirah Shavah ""u've'Maskunto" "be'Maskuntah" from the Ketores, in Pasuk 37, where the Torah writes "Lachem", 1 that he is only Chayav Kareis if he makes it for his personal pleasure but not if it is in order to teach or to hand over to the Tzibur.
What are the implications of the word "Lo Sa'asu Kamohu"?
Kerisus, 5a: It implies that if one replicates only half the amount prescribed by the Torah, he is Patur.
Why does the Torah use the double expression "Kodesh Hu Kodesh Yih'yeh lachem"?
Kerisus, 6a: To teach us that all its preparations should be done bi'Kedushah (in the Azarah, using ingredients that are Kodesh and in a K'li Shareis - Torah Temimah).
