###### Keritot 27b:1
[Keritot 27b:1](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Keritot/r/27b:1)

**מַתְנִי׳** הַמַּפְרִישׁ חַטָּאתוֹ וָמֵת – לֹא יְבִיאֶנּוּ בְּנוֹ תַּחְתָּיו. לֹא יְבִיאֶנּוּ מֵחֵטְא אֶל חֵטְא. אֲפִילּוּ הִפְרִישׁ עַל חֵלֶב שֶׁאָכַל אֶמֶשׁ – לֹא יְבִיאֶנָּה עַל חֵלֶב שֶׁאָכַל הַיּוֹם, שֶׁנֶּאֱמַר: ״קׇרְבָּנוֹ עַל חַטָּאתוֹ״ – עַד שֶׁיְּהֵא קׇרְבָּנוֹ לְשֵׁם חַטָּאתוֹ.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
**MISHNA:** In the case of **one who designates a sin offering** for **his** performance of an unwitting sin **and dies, his son shall not bring it in his stead,** neither on behalf of his father nor for his own unwitting sin, even if it was the same transgression. Likewise, **one may not bring** a sin offering by reassigning it **from** the **sin** for which it is designated to atone and sacrificing it **for** atonement of another **sin. Even if he designated** a sin offering as atonement **for** forbidden **fat that he** unwittingly **ate yesterday, he may not bring it** as atonement **for** forbidden **fat that he** unwittingly **ate today, as it is stated:** “And he shall bring **his** sin **offering,** an unblemished female goat, **for his sin** that he has sinned” (Leviticus 4:28), indicating that he does not satisfy his obligation **until his offering is** brought **for the sake of** the **sin** for which he designated it.


###### Keritot 27b:2
[Keritot 27b:2](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Keritot/r/27b:2)

**גְּמָ׳** מְנָא הָנֵי מִילֵּי? דְּתָנוּ רַבָּנַן: ״קׇרְבָּנוֹ״ – בְּקׇרְבָּנוֹ הוּא יוֹצֵא, וְאֵינוֹ יוֹצֵא בְּקׇרְבַּן אָבִיו.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
**GEMARA:** The Gemara asks: **From where is this matter,** i.e., that a son may not bring his father’s sin offering, derived? The Gemara answers that it is derived **as the Sages taught** in a *baraita*: The Torah states with regard to a sin offering: “And he shall bring for **his offering”** (Leviticus 4:23). This indicates that **one fulfills** his obligation **with his** own **offering, but he does not fulfill** his obligation **with his father’s offering,** if his father was obligated to bring a sin offering and died after he designated an animal for this purpose.


###### Keritot 27b:3
[Keritot 27b:3](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Keritot/r/27b:3)

יָכוֹל לֹא יֵצֵא בְּקׇרְבַּן אָבִיו בִּבְהֵמָה שֶׁהִפְרִישׁ אָבִיו, מִן הַקַּלָּה עַל הַחֲמוּרָה, אוֹ מִן הַחֲמוּרָה עַל הַקַּלָּה, אֲבָל יוֹצֵא בְּקׇרְבָּן שֶׁהִפְרִישׁ אָבִיו מִן הַקַּלָּה עַל הַקַּלָּה, אוֹ מִן הַחֲמוּרָה עַל הַחֲמוּרָה? תַּלְמוּד לוֹמַר: ״קׇרְבָּנוֹ״ – בְּקׇרְבָּנוֹ הוּא יוֹצֵא, וְאֵינוֹ יוֹצֵא בְּקׇרְבָּנוֹ שֶׁל אָבִיו.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
One **might** have thought that one **does not fulfill** his obligation **with his father’s offering by** means of **an animal that his father designated,** only in a case where the son’s transgression is not equal in severity to his father’s sin, e.g., **from a lenient** transgression committed by the father **for a severe** sin of the son, **or from a severe** transgression of the father **for a lenient one** of the son. **But** perhaps **he** does **fulfill** his obligation **with** the **offering that his father designated, from a lenient** sin **for a lenient** sin of the son, **or from a severe** transgression committed by the father **for a severe** one of the son. Therefore, **the verse states** a second time: **“His offering”** (Leviticus 4:28), to emphasize that **he fulfills** his obligation **with his** own **offering, but he does not fulfill** his obligation **with his father’s offering,** even for similar transgressions.


###### Keritot 27b:4
[Keritot 27b:4](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Keritot/r/27b:4)

יָכוֹל לֹא יֵצֵא בְּקׇרְבַּן אָבִיו בִּבְהֵמָה שֶׁהִפְרִישׁ, אֲפִילּוּ מִן הַקַּלָּה עַל הַקַּלָּה, אוֹ מִן הַחֲמוּרָה עַל הַחֲמוּרָה, שֶׁהֲרֵי אֵין מְגַלֵּחַ נְזִירוּתוֹ עַל בְּהֵמָה שֶׁהִפְרִישׁ אָבִיו,

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
The *baraita* continues: One **might** have thought that one **does not fulfill** his obligation **with his father’s offering by** means of **an animal** that the father **designated, even from a lenient** sin **for a lenient** one, **or from a severe** transgression **for a severe** one, as stated above, **as** a person **cannot shave,** i.e., bring the offerings sacrificed, at the end of **his term of naziriteship with an animal that his father designated.** If the father died, the son cannot bring an animal that the father designated as an offering for the conclusion of his naziriteship.


###### Keritot 27b:5
[Keritot 27b:5](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Keritot/r/27b:5)

אֲבָל יוֹצֵא בְּמָעוֹת שֶׁהִפְרִישׁ אָבִיו, אֲפִילּוּ מִן הַקַּלָּה עַל הַחֲמוּרָה, אוֹ מִן הַחֲמוּרָה עַל הַקַּלָּה, שֶׁהֲרֵי אָדָם מְגַלֵּחַ נְזִירוֹתָיו עַל מָעוֹת שֶׁהִפְרִישׁ אָבִיו, בִּזְמַן שֶׁהֵן סְתוּמִים, וְלֹא בִּזְמַן שֶׁהֵן מְפוֹרָשִׁין? תַּלְמוּד לוֹמַר: ״קׇרְבָּנוֹ״ – בְּקׇרְבָּנוֹ הוּא יוֹצֵא, וְאֵין יוֹצֵא בְּקׇרְבַּן אָבִיו.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
**But** one might think that a son can **fulfill** his obligation **with money that his father designated** for his offering, **even from a lenient** sin **for a severe** one, **or from a severe** transgression **for a lenient** one, **as a person can shave** i.e., bring the offerings sacrificed, at the end of **his term of naziriteship with the money his father designated** for naziriteship **when** the money **is unallocated but not when it is allocated** for a specific nazirite offering. Therefore, **the verse states** again: **“His offering”** (Leviticus 4:32), indicating that **he fulfills** his obligation **with his** own **offering, but he does not fulfill** his obligation even **with** money that was designated for **his father’s offering.**


###### Keritot 27b:6
[Keritot 27b:6](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Keritot/r/27b:6)

יָכוֹל לֹא יֵצֵא אֲפִילּוּ בְּמָעוֹת שֶׁהִפְרִישׁ, אֲפִילּוּ מִן הַקַּלָּה עַל הַקַּלָּה אוֹ מִן הַחֲמוּרָה עַל הַחֲמוּרָה, אֲבָל יוֹצֵא בְּקׇרְבָּן שֶׁהִפְרִישׁ לְעַצְמוֹ, אֲפִילּוּ מִן הַחֲמוּרָה עַל הַקַּלָּה אוֹ מִן הַקַּלָּה עַל הַחֲמוּרָה? תַּלְמוּד לוֹמַר: ״קׇרְבָּנוֹ עַל חַטָּאתוֹ״ – עַד שֶׁיְּהֵא לְשֵׁם חַטָּאת.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
The *baraita* further states: One **might** have thought that one **does not fulfill** his obligation **even with** the **money that** his father **designated, even** when father and son committed transgressions of the same severity, i.e., **from a lenient** sin **for a lenient** one **or from a severe** transgression **for a severe** one; **but** one may **fulfill** his obligation **with** the **offering that he designated for himself, even from a severe** transgression **for a lenient** one, **or from a lenient** one **for a severe** one. Therefore, **the verse states: “His offering for his sin”** (Leviticus 4:28), indicating that he does not fulfill his obligation **until** his offering **is** sacrificed **for the sake of** the specific **sin** for which it was designated.


###### Keritot 27b:7
[Keritot 27b:7](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Keritot/r/27b:7)

יָכוֹל לֹא יֵצֵא בְּקׇרְבָּן עַצְמוֹ בִּבְהֵמָה שֶׁהִפְרִישׁ לְעַצְמוֹ, אֲפִילּוּ מִן הַקַּלָּה עַל הַקַּלָּה, אוֹ מִן הַחֲמוּרָה עַל הַחֲמוּרָה, שֶׁכֵּן אִם הִפְרִישׁ בְּהֵמָה עַל הַחֵלֶב וֶהֱבִיאָהּ עַל הַדָּם, עַל הַדָּם וֶהֱבִיאָהּ עַל הַחֵלֶב – שֶׁהֲרֵי לֹא מָעַל וְלֹא כִּיפֵּר,

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
Furthermore, one **might** have thought that one **has not fulfilled** his obligation **to** bring **an offering** for **himself with an animal that he designated for himself, even** with an animal designated **for a lenient** sin that is then used **for** a different **lenient** sin **or from a severe** one **for** a different **severe** one. This is **because if he designated an animal** as a sin offering **for** unintentionally eating forbidden **fat and he brought** that sin offering **for** unintentionally consuming **blood,** or if he designated a sin offering **for** consuming **blood and brought** it **for** the transgression of consuming forbidden **fat,** it is invalid, **as** in this case **he** is **not** considered to have **misused** consecrated property **and** this animal **does not atone** for him. This statement will be explained below.


###### Keritot 27b:8
[Keritot 27b:8](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Keritot/r/27b:8)

אֲבָל יוֹצֵא בְּמָעוֹת שֶׁהִפְרִישׁ לְעַצְמוֹ מִן הַקַּלָּה עַל הַקַּלָּה וּמִן הַחֲמוּרָה עַל הַחֲמוּרָה, אוֹ מִן הַחֲמוּרָה עַל הַקַּלָּה וּמִן הַקַּלָּה עַל הַחֲמוּרָה,

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
The *baraita* continues: **But** it might have been thought that one **fulfills** his obligation **with money that he designated for himself,** with money designated **for a lenient** sin **for** a different **lenient** sin, **or** with money designated **for a severe** sin **for** another **severe** sin, **or from a severe** one **for a lenient** one, **or from a lenient one for a severe** one.


###### Keritot 27b:9
[Keritot 27b:9](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Keritot/r/27b:9)

שֶׁכֵּן אִם הִפְרִישׁ לְעַצְמוֹ מָעוֹת עַל הַחֵלֶב וֶהֱבִיאָן עַל הַדָּם, עַל הַדָּם וֶהֱבִיאָן עַל הַחֵלֶב – שֶׁהֲרֵי מָעַל, וְכִיפֵּר? תַּלְמוּד לוֹמַר: ״קׇרְבָּנוֹ עַל חַטָּאתוֹ״ – עַד שֶׁיְּהֵא קׇרְבָּנוֹ לְשֵׁם חֶטְאוֹ.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
The reason is **that if he designated money for himself for** purchasing a sin offering for unintentionally eating forbidden **fat and he** instead **brought** a sin offering with that money **for** consuming **blood; or** if he designated money for purchasing a sin offering **for** the transgression of consuming **blood and brought** the sin offering **for** the transgression of consuming forbidden **fat,** in that case he **has misused** Temple property, **and** the money **atones** for him. Therefore, **the verse states: “His offering for his sin,”** which indicates that he does not fulfill his obligation **until his offering,** and even the money designated for an offering, **is** designated **for the sake of his** particular **sin.**


###### Keritot 27b:10
[Keritot 27b:10](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Keritot/r/27b:10)

מַאי לֹא מָעַל וְלֹא כִּיפֵּר? תַּרְגְּמַהּ רַב שְׁמוּאֵל בַּר שִׁימִי קַמֵּיהּ דְּרַב פָּפָּא, הָכִי קָאָמַר: כֵּיוָן דְּלָא מָצֵי מָעֵיל, כַּפּוֹרֵי נָמֵי לָא מְכַפַּר, הוֹאִיל וְכָךְ לָא מָצֵי מְשַׁנֵּי.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
The Gemara asks: **What** is the meaning of the phrase in the *baraita*: **He** is **not** considered to have **misused** consecrated property **and** this animal **does not atone** for him? **Rav Shmuel bar Shimi interpreted** this **before Rav Pappa: This** is what the *baraita* **is saying: Since** one **cannot misuse** this animal, i.e., an animal consecrated for sacrifice upon the altar cannot be desacralized, **so too, one cannot achieve atonement** for another sin with that animal. **Since it is so,** it is clear that one is **unable to convert** the animal for use as an offering for a different sin.


###### Keritot 27b:11
[Keritot 27b:11](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Keritot/r/27b:11)

אֲבָל מָעוֹת, כֵּיוָן דְּאִי מְשַׁנֵּי מָעֵיל וּמַיְיתֵי קׇרְבַּן מְעִילָה – אֵימָא בַּתְּחִלָּה נָמֵי מַיְיתֵי, קָא מַשְׁמַע לַן.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
**But** with regard to **money, since if one** unwittingly **converted** the money for a different use **he has misused** consecrated property, the money is consequently desacralized, **and** he is liable to **bring an offering** for **misuse** of consecrated property, therefore one might **say** that **from the outset too,** he may use the money to **bring** an offering for a different sin. Consequently, the *baraita* **teaches us** that one may not do so.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
**MISHNA:** **One may bring a female goat from** money **consecrated** for a sin offering of **a female lamb,** and **a female lamb from** money **consecrated** for a sin offering of **a female goat. And** likewise, one may bring **doves and pigeons from** money **consecrated** for a sin offering of **a female lamb and a female goat; and one-tenth of an ephah** of fine flour **from** money **consecrated** for a sin offering of **doves and pigeons.**

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
**How so? If** one unwittingly performed a sin for which he is liable to bring a sliding-scale sin offering, which varies based on economic status (see Leviticus 5:1–13; see also 9a), and he **designated** money **to** purchase **a female lamb or for a female goat** and then **became poorer, he may bring a bird,** and the remaining money is non-sacred. If **he became** yet **poorer, he may bring one-tenth of an ephah** of fine flour. Likewise, if **he designated** money **to** purchase **one-tenth of an ephah** of fine flour and **became wealthier, he shall bring a bird.** If **he became** yet **wealthier, he shall bring a female lamb or a female goat.**

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
**GEMARA:** The Gemara asks: **From where are these matters** that are mentioned in the mishna derived? The Gemara answers that they are derived from a verse, **as the Sages taught** in a *baraita* that discusses the sliding-scale offering: It is written with regard to one who brings a lamb for his obligation: “And the priest shall make atonement for him **from his sin”** (Leviticus 5:6); and it is written with regard to one who brings a bird: “And the priest shall make atonement for him **from his sin”** (Leviticus 5:10); and it is written with regard to one who brings one-tenth of an ephah of fine flour: **“Over his sin”** (Leviticus 5:13). **What** is the meaning of these phrases that **the verse states?**

The *baraita* explains: **From where** is it derived that **you say that one may bring a female goat from** money **consecrated** for a sin offering of **a female lamb, and a female lamb from** money **consecrated** for a sin offering of **a female goat? And** likewise, from where is it derived that one may bring **doves and pigeons from** money **consecrated** for a sin offering of **a female lamb and a female goat, and one-tenth of an ephah** of fine flour **from** money **consecrated** for a sin offering of **doves and pigeons?**

**How so?

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
If **one designated a female lamb or goat** as an offering **and it developed a blemish,** he must redeem the animal and bring another offering with the money. If he became poorer, **he may bring a bird with its money.** But if **one designated a bird** as an offering **and it developed a blemish, he may not bring one-tenth of an ephah** of fine flour **with its money, as there is no** possibility of **redemption for birds.**

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
The *baraita* provides the source for this entire *halakha*: **Therefore,** with regard to an offering of a female goat or lamb and a bird offering **it is stated: “From his sin,”** which indicates that one fulfills his obligation with even part of the money that was designated for his offering. By contrast, with regard to an offering of one-tenth of an ephah of fine flour it is written: **“Over his sin,”** indicating that if one becomes wealthier he must add to the value of his offering.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
**And it was necessary** for the Torah **to write: “From his sin,” with regard to a female lamb or a female goat, and it was necessary to write** the same phrase **with regard to a bird.** The Gemara explains: **As, if the verse had written** this phrase only **with regard to a consecrated female lamb or a female goat, I would say** that if one **designated** money to purchase **a female lamb,** then **when he became poorer he may redeem that money on a bird** and **bring a bird** offering, **as a female lamb and a bird are both types of blood** offerings.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
**But** with regard to **one-tenth of an ephah** of fine flour, **which is not a type of blood** offering but a meal offering, **if the verse had not written: “From his sin,” with regard to a bird, I would say** that **if one designates money for his nest,** i.e., pair of birds, **and** then **becomes poorer, he may not bring one-tenth of an ephah** of fine flour with that money, **as it is not a type of blood** offering. **Rather, he brings one-tenth of an ephah** of fine flour **from his house,** i.e., with other money, **and that money that he designated** for his bird pair **is allocated for** communal **gift** offerings. **Therefore, the verse repeats** and **writes: “From his sin,” with regard to a bird, to say that one may also bring one-tenth of an ephah** of fine flour **from** money **consecrated** for a sin offering **of birds.**

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
**And** with regard to the phrase: “Over his sin,” which is written in connection to the one-tenth of an ephah of fine flour, **this** is what the verse **is saying: When one designates** money **for** an offering of **one-tenth of an ephah** of fine flour, **and before he brought** the money to the Temple to purchase the offering **he grew wealthier, he must add** money **to** those coins **and bring a bird.** If **he grew** even **wealthier, he must add** money **to them and bring a female lamb or a female goat.**

The reason is **that if** the verse **had stated: Over his sin, with regard to a bird, I would say** that **it is** only **when one designates money for his nest and** then **becomes wealthier that one must add** money **and bring a female lamb or a female goat, as they are both types of blood** offerings.

אֲבָל הִפְרִישׁ מָעוֹת לַעֲשִׂירִית הָאֵיפָה וְהֶעֱשִׁיר, הָלֵין דְּמַפְרֵישׁ, אִי לָא הֶעֱשִׁיר טוּבָא – נַיְיתֵי עוֹף, וְאִם הֶעֱשִׁיר טוּבָא – נַיְיתֵי כִּשְׂבָּה אוֹ שְׂעִירָה, וְהָלֵין מָעוֹת דְּאַפְרֵישׁ יִפְּלוּ לִנְדָבָה, אַהָכִי כְּתִיב קְרָא בְּהָדֵין חַטָּאת בַּעֲשִׁירוּת וְדַלּוּת ״מֵחַטָּאתוֹ״, וְגַבֵּי דַּלֵּי דַלּוּת ״עַל חַטָּאתוֹ״ – לְמִדְרַשׁ כִּדְאָמְרִינַן.

**But** in a case where **one designated money to** purchase **one-tenth of an ephah** of fine flour **and became wealthier,** perhaps he may not add to the money **that he designated** earlier. And **if he did not become much wealthier he** now **brings a bird, and if he became much wealthier he** now **brings a female lamb or a female goat,** without using the money he had designated for the one-tenth of the ephah of flour. **And that money which he** initially **designated** for one-tenth of an ephah of fine flour **is allocated for** communal **gift** offerings. It is **for this** reason that **the verse states: “From his sin,” with regard to that sin offering** which one brings when **rich and** when **poor,** i.e., a lamb and a bird, **and: “Over his sin,” with regard to** that which he brings when he is **exceedingly poor,** i.e., one-tenth of an ephah of fine flour, **so** that one should **interpret** the verses **as we said,** that in either case he adds to the money he had designated to bring the more expensive offering.

אָמַר רַבִּי אֶלְעָזָר אָמַר רַבִּי אוֹשַׁעְיָא: מְטַמֵּא מִקְדָּשׁ עָשִׁיר שֶׁהִפְרִישׁ קֵן

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
**Rabbi Elazar says** that **Rabbi Oshaya says: A wealthy person who defiles the Temple,** i.e., he enters the Temple while ritually impure, is obligated to bring a female lamb or goat as his offering in accordance with his wealth. If **he designated a nest,** i.e., a pair of birds,
