Why does the Pasuk insert the 'Vav' in "ve'Im Min ha'Tzon"?

1.

Rashi: To equate the laws of a lamb with those of an ox. 1

See Sifsei Chachamim.

2)

Why is there a break (signified by the 'Samech') between the two Parshiyos?

1.

Rashi: Refer to 1:1:4:1.

3)

What do we learn from the three times "Min" -("Min ha'Tzon", "Min ha'Kevasim" and "Min ha'Izim"_?

1.

Rashi: They come to disqualify an animal that is old, sick or sweaty, from the realm of Korbanos.

4)

Since the Torah writes "min ha'Tzon", why does it need to add "min ha'Kevasim u''min ha'Izim"?

1.

Moshav Zekenim: "Tzon" alludes to Yisrael - ("ve'Aten Tzoni Tzon Mar'isi" - Yechezkel 34:17); "Kevasim", to Tzadikim, who have no Yeitzer ha'Ra and "Izim", to brazen people - all of whom are equal after they do Teshuvah - as the Torah indicates in Yeshayah 57:19 "Shalom Shalom la'Rachok vela'Karov". 1

2.

Refer to 1:10:3:1.

Moshav Zekeinim: Shalom is given first to the Rasha, who was distant from Hashem, and Tzadikim cannot stand where Ba'alei Teshuvah stand!

5)

Why did the Torah not mention skinning ny the lamb of an Olah?

1.

Riva (as cited in Tosfos ha'Shalem 2): Becuse the Torah mentioned it by an ox, and the same applies to all Olos. 1


1

Riva (Ibid.): And the reason that the Torah mentioned curring-up the lamb (even thugh it already mentioned it by the ox) is because due to the fact that its limbs are smuch maller than those of an ox an ox', we would have that it is not necessary.

QUESTIONS ON RASHI

6)

Rashi writes that the 'Vav' equates the laws of a lamb and those of an ox. What do we learn from this?

1.

Moshav Zekenim: Just like a lamb of an Olah is Shechted in the north, so is an ox. 1

2.

Moshav Zekenim: The Gemara in Zevachim 32b, states that the ox must stand in front of Hashem (in the Azarah), but the Shochet need not; the same applies to a lamb.


1

Moshav Zekenim: This is like the opinion that due to 'Vav' Mosif, we can learn the previous Parshah from the latter. However, one opinion (Zevachim 48a) says that we learn only the latter from the former and not vice=versa.
