ומזה יעמדו כמה הבדלים לפי תכונת הפועל והוראתו –

**Ayelet Hashachar, translated by Betzalel Avraham Feinstein, 2021:**
And from this, there are several distinctions with respect to the conjugation of the verb and its meaning:

**ישרוף** בקל – תכף כשעוסק בשריפה. **יִשָרף** בנפעל – דווקא כשנשרף הדבר (ויקרא ס' רלט).

**Ayelet Hashachar, translated by Betzalel Avraham Feinstein, 2021:**
**ישרוף** (burn) in simple active conjugation – in the moment when he is occupied with burning. **יִשָרף** (burn) in simple passive conjugation – precisely when the object is burned.


###### Malbim Ayelet HaShachar 20:3
[Malbim Ayelet HaShachar 20:3](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Malbim%20Ayelet%20HaShachar/r/20:3)

**אכל** בקל – דוקא בכזית, כי פחות מזה לא נקרא אכילה לגבי הפועל רק טעימה. **יֵאָכל** בנפעל – אף כל שהוא, כי נקרא אכילה לגבי הדבר (צו ס' לא).

**Ayelet Hashachar, translated by Betzalel Avraham Feinstein, 2021:**
**אכל** (eat) in simple active conjugation – precisely the size of an olive (or larger), since less than this is not called אכילה with respect to the subject, only טעימה (tasting). **יֵאָכל** (eat) in simple passive conjugation – anything that is eaten, since it is called אכילה with respect to the object.


###### Malbim Ayelet HaShachar 20:4
[Malbim Ayelet HaShachar 20:4](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Malbim%20Ayelet%20HaShachar/r/20:4)

**וראהו הכהן** – מקפיד על הרואה וצריך שיראה כאחת. **וביום הֵראות** – מקפיד שיהיה העצם נראה, ואף שהרואה אינו רואהו כאחת. (תזריע ס' פו).

**Ayelet Hashachar, translated by Betzalel Avraham Feinstein, 2021:**
**וראהו הכהן** (and the priest shall look)⁵¹ – it is strict about how it will be seen, and it needs to be seen as one. **וביום הֵראות** (But whensoever raw flesh appears in him)⁵² – it is only strict in that it is seen, even if it is not seen as one.
