אין דרך הכתוב להזכיר אצל כפרה שם הקרבן שבו מתכפר. ומה שכתב "וכפר באיל האשם" נדרש. (ויקרא סימן שנז, וסימן שנח)

**Ayelet Hashachar, translated by Betzalel Avraham Feinstein, 2021:**
It is not the way of the Scripture to mention the name of the sacrifice which atones near the word כפר. And when it is written, וכפר באיל האשם (and the priest shall make atonement for him with the ram of the guilt-offering)⁶⁴⁰, there is a homiletical interpretation.

*Leviticus 5:16, which saysואת אשר חטא מן הקדש ישלם ואת חמישתו יוסף עליו ונתן אתו לכהן והכהן יכפר עליו באיל האשם ונסלח לו (And he shall make restitution for that which he has done amiss in the holy thing, and shall add the fifth part thereto, and give it unto the priest; and the priest shall make atonement for him with the ram of the guilt-offering, and he shall be forgiven), mentions the name of the sacrifice which atones, the ram of the guilt-offering, near the word יכפר, thus breaking Rule 359. The homiletical interpretation of this is that if he does not bring the ram of the guilt-offering, he will not fulfill his obligation, as opposed to if it had only said the word יכפר, in which he could fulfill his obligation through bringing money instead of a ram⁶⁴¹.*
