v'Lakach ha'Kohen Es ha'Zero'a Besheilah Min ha'Ayil
https://dafyomi.co.il/chulin/insites/ch-dt-098.htm
The Gemara derives the Halachah that a forbidden food is Batel b'Shishim from the law of the Zero'a Beshelah of a Nazir (Bamidbar 6:18).
I keep thinking this week there is a gematria. remez, vort on this law.
Please refresh my memory
Shalom HG,
Great to hear from you!
I should be upfront: I'm not aware of a specific Gematria, Remez, or Vort on this law. If you recall more details, I'd love to hear them! That said, here are what I found to be the most relevant points from the Gemara:
1. At the bottom of 98a there is a Machlokes Amoraim whether an Isur is Batel in 60 times or 100 times the Heter, and both views derive from the source of Zero'a Besheilah. The idea is that the Ram of the Nazir is permitted to be eaten by the non-Kohen, even though the Zero'a -- which is reserved for the Kohen -- was cooked together with it. There must therefore be enough material in the Ram to nullify the absorptions from prohibited portion.
2. At the top of 98b, the Tana Kama learns from the word "Besheilah" that it means "in wholeness" (b'Shleimus). Rashi says he does not understand what language this is based on. Tosfos says it is not based on another language, but on parsing the Hebrew word as "b'Shel Lah." The Ritva, however, rejects this. The Yaavetz says it is because we can substitute a Mem for the Beis [and rearrange the letters] so that Beis-Shin-Lamed-Hay becomes Shin-Lamed-Mem-Hay.
3. Later on 98b, the Gemara explains that the opinion who learns 60 counts the whole Ram cooked together with the whole Zero'a, and the volume of the rest of the Ram is 60 times the volume of the Zero'a -- but only if you include both the meat and the bones. The view that learns 100, by contrast, considers only the meat portion and excludes the bones.
Wishing you continued Hatzlachah in your Torah learning!
Bivracha,
