**סָגוּר יִהְיֶה.** רַבּוֹתֵינוּ הֶעֱמִידוּ הַמִּקְרָא הַזֶּה בְּפִשְׁפָּשׁ הַדְּרוֹמִי שֶׁהָיָה לְשַׁעַר הַהֵיכָל; פִּשְׁפָּשׁ – פֶּתַח קָטָן. כָּךְ שָׁנִינוּ בְּמַסֶּכֶת מִדּוֹת (ד, ב): שְׁנֵי פִשְׁפָּשִׁין הָיוּ לוֹ לַשַּׁעַר הַגָּדוֹל, אֶחָד בְּדָרוֹם וְאֶחָד בְּצָפוֹן; שֶׁבְּדָרוֹם – לֹא נִכְנַס בּוֹ אָדָם מֵעוֹלָם, עָלָיו מְפֹרָשׁ עַל יְדֵי יְחֶזְקֵאל: **הַשַּׁעַר הַזֶּה יִהְיֶה סָגוּר**:

**The Judaica Press complete Tanach with Rashi, translated by A. J. Rosenberg:**
**shall be closed** Our Rabbis interpreted this verse as referring to the southern wicket, for the gate of the Heichal had a wicket, a small entrance. So we learned in Tractate Middoth (4:2): The Great Gate had two wickets, one in the south and one in the north. No one ever entered the one in the south, of which Ezekiel says, “This gate shall be closed.”

**by way of the hall of the gate he shall come** When he enters the Inner Court in order to enter this small gate to eat therein, he shall enter by way of the hall of the Court’s eastern gate and leave the same way. Now since it states below (46:9), concerning: “But when the people of the land come before the Lord on the Festivals, he who enters by way of, etc.” Scripture commanded making the Court a shortcut since that entry was [made] for the sake of appearing [before God]. He must therefore be well seen [i.e., throughout the entire Court]. It was necessary to specify here concerning visits during the rest of the year that he should not make it a shortcut because this visit is not for the sake of appearing, as is that of the Pilgrimage Festivals. This matter is corroborated many more times in this account.

**The Judaica Press complete Tanach with Rashi, translated by A. J. Rosenberg:**
**they shall not gird themselves in a place that sweats** We learned in a baraitha (Zeb. 18b, 19a): They do not gird themselves in a place where they sweat, neither above their elbows nor below their loins, which is a place of sweat, en la suor in O.F., on (whatever causes) sweat. Another explanation: The Torah prohibited the priests from wearing woolen raiment because wool causes the body to sweat (not found in some editions).

**The Judaica Press complete Tanach with Rashi, translated by A. J. Rosenberg:**
**into the Outer Court, into the Outer Court** Since he was speaking of the Heichal and the Inner Sanctum, and he called them the “Inner Court,” and in relation to them, he should call the Israelites’ Court an “Outer Court,” he therefore had to double it twice to say that he is speaking of the Men’s Court, the area that all Israel enter.

So I heard in the name of Rabbi Menahem of blessed memory. It is possible to explain it as an expression for a measure of a medium thing, neither shearing [all the hair of] the head nor letting the hair grow long, but a medium amount, amo(d)ler in O.F., to cut to medium length.

**וּבְיוֹם בֹּאוֹ.** תְּחִלָּה **אֶל הַקֹּדֶשׁ** לְהִתְחַנֵּךְ לַעֲבוֹדָה. **יַקְרִיב חַטָּאתוֹ** זוֹ עֲשִׂירִית הָאֵיפָה שֶׁלּוֹ; כָּךְ שְׁנוּיָה בְּמוֹעֵד קָטָן (טו, ב – טז, א), שֶׁכֹּהֵן הֶדְיוֹט טָעוּן עֲשִׂירִית הָאֵיפָה בְּיוֹם חִנּוּכוֹ, כְּעִנְיָן שֶׁנֶּאֱמַר ״זֶה קָרְבַּן אַהֲרֹן וּבָנָיו וְגוֹ׳״ (ויקרא ו:יג), וּכְמוֹ שֶׁמְּפֹרָשׁ בְּמַסֶּכֶת מְנָחוֹת (עח, א):

**The Judaica Press complete Tanach with Rashi, translated by A. J. Rosenberg:**
**And on the day that he enters** into the Sanctuary for the first time to initiate himself into the service, he shall offer up his sin-offering; this is his one tenth of an ephah [of flour]. In Moed Katan (16a) the following is taught: the regular priest requires one tenth of an ephah on the day of his initiation, as it is stated (Lev. 6:13): “This is the offering of Aaron and his sons, etc.” and as is explained in Tractate Menachoth (51b).

**לְהָנִיחַ.** אַפּוֹשִׁי״ר בְּלַעַ״ז, כְּמוֹ ״וַיָּנַח בְּכָל גְּבוּל מִצְרָיִם״ (שמות י:יד):

**כָּל נְבֵלָה וּטְרֵפָה וְגוֹ׳.** לְפִי שֶׁהֻתְּרָה לָהֶם מְלִיקַת חַטַּאת הָעוֹף, שֶׁהִיא נְבֵלָה וּטְרֵפָה, הֻצְרַךְ לְהַזְהִירָם עַל שְׁאָר נְבֵלוֹת וּטְרֵפוֹת; כָּךְ פֵּרְשׁוּ רַבּוֹתֵינוּ (מנחות מה.):

**The Judaica Press complete Tanach with Rashi, translated by A. J. Rosenberg:**
**Anything that has died of itself or is fatally wounded, etc.** Since nipping the neck of the bird sin- offering was permitted, which is [tantamount to] an animal that died of itself or was fatally wounded [since it is not the normal method of slaughter], he had to warn them concerning [eating] other creatures that died of themselves or were fatally wounded. So our Sages explain.
