*********************GIRSA SECTION*********************

We recommend using the textual changes suggested by the Bach, the Tzon Kodashim, the Vilna Ga'on and the marginal notes of the Vilna Shas. This section is devoted to any other important corrections that Acharonim have pointed out in the Gemara, Rashi and Tosfos.

[1] Gemara 17a [line 7]:

"Kasavur she'Hu Mutar l'Hamir" ëñáåø ùäåà îåúø ìäîéø

(a) There is an extensive argument among the Rishonim as to the proper Girsa of our Gemara. See Chart #4 for the four main opinions.

(b) The intention of the Hagahos ha'Gra (#2) is that the line in parentheses near the bottom of this Daf (line 35) should be inserted after the words "she'Hu Mutar" ùäåà îåúø (without the word "l'Misah" ìîéúä) and it should be followed by the words "Lishna Acharina" ìéùðà àçøéðà. The rest of the Gemara reads as is (except that the brackets and parenthetical additions should be omitted).

(c) The first three bracketed and parenthetical additions that follow the Mishnah do not appear in the texts of any of the Rishonim.

[2] Gemara [line 15]:

Should be corrected as suggested by Shitah Mekubetzes #10

[3] Rashi 17a DH Gabei Kodshim ã"ä âáé ÷ãùéí:

Should be corrected as suggested by Shitah Mekubetzes #35

[4] Rashi DH she'Lo mi'Daito ã"ä ùìà îãòúå:

The Girsa change suggested by the Tzon Kodashim (#1) seems to be unjustified

[5] Rashi DH v'Aliba d'Rebbi Yehudah ã"ä åàìéáà ãøáé éäåãä:

"Ra me'Ikaro..." øò îòé÷øå (Source: Daf 9a)

[6] Rashi DH Karev b'Mino ã"ä ÷øá áîéðå:

"d'Temihu Inshei" ãúîéäå àðùé (Source: Chulin 75b)

(Shmuel maintains that the animal, even though it is a Tereifah, becomes Kadosh with Kedushas ha'Guf. Shmuel is arguing with Rebbi Elazar of our Mishnah, as the Gemara explains later.)

PEREK #3 ELU KODSHIM

4)[line 7]ùìîéíSHELAMIM (KORBAN SHELAMIM)

(a)A person may offer a Korban in the Beis ha'Mikdash as a voluntary sacrifice (Olas Nedavah), as it states in Vayikra 1:2. Voluntary Korbanos may be Olos (which are burned entirely on the Mizbe'ach, see Vayikra 1:2-17, 6:1-6), Shelamim (parts of which are eaten, see Vayikra 3:1-17, 7:11-21, 7:28-37) or Menachos (flour offerings, see Vayikra 2:1-13, 6:7-11, 7:9-10).

(b)Korbenos Shelamim that are offered by an individual may be brought from male or female sheep, cows or goats. They are Kodshim Kalim, and may therefore be slaughtered in the entire Azarah (and not only in its northern part). Before its slaughter, the owner presses his hands on the head of the animal (Semichah). The blood of the Shelamim is cast on the lower half of the Mizbe'ach at the northeastern and southwestern corners only (Shetayim she'Hen Arba). Nesachim (a flour offering consisting of flour and oil and a wine libation) are brought as part of the Korban (Bamidbar 15:3-12). The flour offering is completely burned on the Mizbe'ach and the wine is poured into one of the Sefalim (the silver libation pipes located at the top of the southwestern corner of the Mizbe'ach) (RAMBAM and RA'AVAD Hilchos Ma'aseh ha'Korbanos 2:1). The amount of flour, oil and wine needed depends upon the animal offered, as specified in Bamidbar (ibid.).

(c)The Chazeh (breast) and Shok (the two upper sections of the right hind leg, until the hip joint) of the Shelamim are given to the Kohen (Vayikra 7:34). Certain fats and other parts of the Korban ("Eimurim,") are offered on the Mizbe'ach (Vayikra 3:3-4, 9-10, 14-15). The Eimurim consist of:

1.the layer of fat covering the stomachs;

2.all other fat attached to the stomachs;

3.the two kidneys;

4.the fat on the kidneys;

5.the Yoseres, which is either the diaphragm (RASHI, RADAK) or a lobe of the liver (RAV HAI GA'ON);

6.in the case of a sheep, the Alyah - the fat tail (Vayikra 3:3-4).

(d)The owner and his guests (men or women) eat the rest of the Korban inside the borders of the city of Yerushalayim. The meat may be cooked in any fashion and is eaten for two days and the intervening night.

5a)[line 8]ñîéëäSEMICHAH

Semichah refers to the Mitzvah for a person to press both of his hands on the head of his animal Korban, as described in Vayikra (1:4). See Background to Temurah 2:4. (See also entry #4b above.)

b)[line 8]ðñëéíNESACHIM

(a)The Nesachim are wine libations that are brought together with a Korban Shelamim or Olah, whether the Korban is offered by the Tzibur (Bamidbar 28:11-15, 20-21) or by an individual (Bamidbar 15:3-16). They are brought along with the Minchas Nesachim, a meal offering that is offered with these Korbanos (see Background to Temurah 14:6b). (See also entry #4:b above.)

(b)The amounts of wine, flour and oil vary based upon which animal is being offered — see Background to Kidushin 37:12.

c)[line 8]úðåôú çæä åùå÷TENUFAS CHAZEH VA'SHOK

The waving of the chest and right hind leg of the Korban Shelamim, as described in Vayikra 7:28-36. (See also entry #4c above.)

6)[line 10]ùîòéä ìø''à ãàîøSHAM'EI L'REBBI ELIEZER D'AMAR- our Tana is responding to Rebbi Eliezer, who says.... It is important to note that the coming Sugyos quote two Tana'im with similar names (Rebbi Eliezer and Rebbi Elazar) but with opposing opinions. The similarity of their names, and the fact that the Girsa of the Vilna edition of the Shas occasionally refers to one when it means the other, can sometimes cause confusion. Therefore, it is very helpful to keep in mind the following basic point: Rebbi Eliezer is the one who does not allow the offspring of a Korban to be offered as a Korban (beginning of 17b, Mishnah 18a). Rebbi Elazar is the one who allows the offspring of a female animal (which was designated to be a Korban for which a male must be used) to be offered (17b, Mishnah 18b). Abbreviations and printer's errors should be corrected accordingly.

7)[last line]âîéøé ìä ãìîéúä ÷ééîéGEMIRI LAH DEL'MISAH KAIMEI- we have already learned that it must be left to die. That is, since it has already been taught through a Halachah l'Moshe mi'Sinai, there is no need to learn it from an inference in the verse.
