## Pesachim Daf 121a

###### Pesachim 121a:1
[Pesachim 121a:1](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Pesachim/r/121a:1)

חַד תָּנֵי אַפִּיגּוּל, וְחַד תָּנֵי אַנּוֹתָר.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
The Gemara explains that there is no dispute between Rav Huna and Rav Ḥisda concerning the reason for the prohibition. **One** of these two Sages **teaches** his explanation **with regard to** the case of ***piggul*,** mentioned in the mishna; **and** the other **one teaches** it **with regard to *notar*.**


###### Pesachim 121a:2
[Pesachim 121a:2](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Pesachim/r/121a:2)

מַאן דְּתָנֵי אַפִּיגּוּל — מִשּׁוּם חֲשֵׁדֵי כְהוּנָּה. מַאן דְּתָנֵי אַנּוֹתָר — מִשּׁוּם עֲצֵלֵי כְהוּנָּה.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
The Gemara elaborates: **The one who teaches** it **with regard to *piggul*** maintains that the reason is **due to suspected priests.** As a result of enmity, a priest might cause the offerings to become *piggul*. To dissuade priests from doing so, the Sages instituted that one who touches *piggul* is rendered ritually impure, which ensures that the offending priest also suffers from his actions. **He who teaches** this explanation **with regard to *notar*** claims that the reason **is due to lazy priests,** to prevent sloth among the priests. The Sages decreed that *notar* causes ritual impurity, to ensure that the priests ate the sacrificial meat within the allotted time.


###### Pesachim 121a:3
[Pesachim 121a:3](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Pesachim/r/121a:3)

חַד אָמַר כְּזַיִת וְחַד אָמַר כְּבֵיצָה. מַאן דְּאָמַר כְּזַיִת — כְּאִיסּוּרוֹ, וּמַאן דְּאָמַר כְּבֵיצָה — כְּטוּמְאָתוֹ.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
It was stated above that Rav Huna and Rav Ḥisda disagree with regard to the size of the meat that confers ritual impurity. **One** of them **said** that **an olive-bulk** of meat contracts ritual impurity, and **one** of them **said** that only **an egg-bulk** contracts ritual impurity. The Gemara explains the reasoning behind this debate. **The one who said** that **an olive-bulk** contracts ritual impurity **maintains that** the ritual impurity of *notar* and *piggul* is **similar to its prohibition.** Since *notar* and *piggul* are prohibited when they are an olive-bulk, the same applies to their ritual impurity. **And the one who said** that sacrificial meat becomes ritually impure when it is **an egg-bulk** maintains that **it is similar to its ritual impurity.** In other words, just as the minimum size of ritual impurity for other types of meat is an egg-bulk, the same applies to *piggul* and *notar*.


###### Pesachim 121a:4
[Pesachim 121a:4](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Pesachim/r/121a:4)

**מַתְנִי׳** בֵּירַךְ בִּרְכַּת הַפֶּסַח — פָּטַר אֶת שֶׁל זֶבַח. בֵּירַךְ אֶת שֶׁל זֶבַח — לֹא פָּטַר אֶת שֶׁל פֶּסַח, דִּבְרֵי רַבִּי יִשְׁמָעֵאל. רַבִּי עֲקִיבָא אוֹמֵר: לֹא זוֹ פּוֹטֶרֶת זוֹ וְלֹא זוֹ פּוֹטֶרֶת זוֹ.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
**MISHNA:** If **one recited the blessing over the Paschal lamb,** which is: Who sanctified us with His mitzvot and commanded us to eat the Paschal lamb, **he has** also **exempted** himself from reciting a blessing over the Festival **offering.** The blessing for the Festival peace-offering of the fourteenth of Nisan is: Who sanctified us with His mitzvot and commanded us to eat the offering. However, if **he recited the blessing over the** Festival **offering, he has not exempted** himself from reciting a blessing over **the Paschal lamb.** This is **the statement of Rabbi Yishmael. Rabbi Akiva says: This** blessing **does not exempt** one from reciting a blessing over **this one, and that** blessing **does not exempt that one,** as there is a separate blessing for each offering.


###### Pesachim 121a:5
[Pesachim 121a:5](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Pesachim/r/121a:5)

**גְּמָ׳** כְּשֶׁתִּמְצָא לוֹמַר, לְדִבְרֵי רַבִּי יִשְׁמָעֵאל: זְרִיקָה בִּכְלַל שְׁפִיכָה. וְלֹא שְׁפִיכָה בִּכְלַל זְרִיקָה.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
**GEMARA:** The Gemara explains the opinions of the *tanna’im* in the mishna. When you analyze the matter you will find that **according to** the opinion of **Rabbi Yishmael, sprinkling** of the blood on the altar **is included** in the more general category of **pouring.** In other words, the blessing over the Paschal lamb, whose blood is poured, includes the Festival peace-offering, whose blood is sprinkled, as sprinkling is included within the general category of pouring. **But** conversely, **pouring is not included in sprinkling.** Consequently, when one recites the blessing over the Festival peace-offering, he has not exempted himself from reciting a blessing over the Paschal lamb.


###### Pesachim 121a:6
[Pesachim 121a:6](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Pesachim/r/121a:6)

לְדִבְרֵי רַבִּי עֲקִיבָא: לֹא שְׁפִיכָה בִּכְלַל זְרִיקָה, וְלֹא זְרִיקָה בִּכְלַל שְׁפִיכָה.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
By contrast, **according to** the opinion of **Rabbi Akiva,** these are two separate mitzvot: **Pouring is not included in sprinkling, and sprinkling is not included in pouring.** Therefore, Rabbi Akiva maintains that each offering requires its own blessing.
