What is the "Olas ha'Chodesh"?

1.

Rashi: It is the Olah of the Musaf of Rosh Chodesh, which coincides with Rosh Hashanah. 1


1

See above, 28:11.

2)

Why does the Torah mention the Olas ha'Chodesh on Rosh Hashanah, but not the Chatas ha'Chodesh?

1.

Ramban: Because having informed us that the Olah mentioned here is not the same one that is mentioned on Rosh Chodesh, 1 it is obvious that the Chatas is not the same one either.

2.

Hadar Zekenim (citing a Midrash) and Riva: Because, whereas the Kaparah for all Olos is the same - for [transgressing] an Asei, or a La'av ha'Nitak la'Asei, the Chata?os of Rosh Chodesh and Rosh Hashnah are not. 2


1

Ramban: Since we would otherwise have thought that the Olah mentioned on Rosh Chodesh is confined to the other eleven months, but is different on Rosh Hashanah.

2

The Chatas of Rosh Chodesh atones for [Aveiros of Tum'ah] of which the owner was not aware, either at the beginning or at the end, and of Rosh Hashanah, when there is knowledge only at the end.
