**שֶׁלֹּא לֶאֱכֹל נוֹתָר** – שֶׁלֹּא לֶאֱכֹל נוֹתָר, וְהוּא מָה שֶׁנִּשְׁאַר מִבְּשַׂר הַקֳּדָשִׁים מִקָּרְבָּן שֶׁקָּרַב כְּמִצְוָתוֹ אַחַר זְמַן הָרָאוּי לְאָכְלוֹ, שֶׁנֶּאֱמַר בַּמִּלּוּאִים (שמות כט לג) לֹא יֵאָכֵל כִּי קֹדֶשׁ הֵם. וּבָא הַפֵּרוּשׁ עַל זֶה (מעילה יז, ב) כָּל שֶׁבַּקֹּדֶשׁ פָּסוּל לִתֵּן לֹא תַעֲשֶׂה עַל אֲכִילָתוֹ, וְזֶה יִרְמֹז הַכָּתוּב בְּאָמְרוֹ כִּי קֹדֶשׁ הֵם, זֶה הַנִּסְתָּר שֶׁהוּא הֵם, הוּא כּוֹלֵל כָּל מָה שֶׁנִּפְסַל מִן הַקֳּדָשִׁים. וְאֵין לָנוּ לִלְמֹד בְּכָךְ שֶׁנַּחְשֹׁב הַפִּגּוּל וְהַנּוֹתָר לְלָאו אֶחָד, כִּי שְׁנֵי שֵׁמוֹת הֵן, וּכְמוֹ שֶׁכָּתַבְתִּי לְמַעְלָה בְּאִסּוּר הַפִּגּוּל בְּסֵדֶר צַו (מצוה קמד). וּמָצִינוּ שֶׁבָּאוּ בָּהֶם שְׁנֵי כְּתוּבִים לְגַבֵּי הָעֹנֶשׁ, דִּכְתִיב בְּפִגּוּל בְּסֵדֶר צַו (ויקרא ז יח) וְאִם הֵאָכֹל יֵאָכֵל וְגוֹ', וּכְתִיב בָּתְרֵהּ וְהַנֶּפֶשׁ הָאוֹכֶלֶת עֲוֹנָהּ תִּשָּׂא, וּנְשִׂיאוּת עָוֹן זֶה הוּא כָּרֵת כְּמוֹ שֶׁנִּלְמַד בִּגְזֵרָה שָׁוָה מִנּוֹתָר, וּכְתִיב הָכָא גַּבֵּי נוֹתָר (שם יט ו ח) וְהַנּוֹתָר עַד יוֹם הַשְּׁלִישִׁי פִּגּוּל הוּא לֹא יֵרָצֶה וְאֹכְלָיו עֲוֹנוֹ יִשָּׂא כִּי אֶת קֹדֶשׁ יְיָ חִלֵּל וְנִכְרְתָה וְגוֹ'. וְעַל כֵּן, אַף עַל פִּי שֶׁאַזְהָרַת שְׁנֵיהֶם מִמִּקְרָא אֶחָד, לֹא נִמָּנַע מִפְּנֵי כֵן לְחָשְׁבָם שְׁנֵי לָאוִין. וְכֵן אָמְרוּ בִּמְעִילָה (יז, ב) הַפִּגּוּל וְהַנּוֹתָר אֵין מִצְטָרְפִין זֶה עִם זֶה, מִפְּנֵי שֶׁהֵן שְׁנֵי שֵׁמוֹת וכו' כְּמוֹ שֶׁמְּפֹרָשׁ שָׁם, שֶׁיֵּשׁ דְּבָרִים שֶׁאֵין מִצְטָרְפִין בָּהֶן וְיֵשׁ שֶׁמִּצְטָרְפִין בָּהֶן.

**Sefer HaChinukh, translated by R. Francis Nataf, Sefaria 2018:**
**To not eat *notar*:** To not eat *notar* — and that is what remains from the meat of consecrated animals, from a sacrifice that was brought according to its commanded [specifications] after the time that it is fit to eat from it, as it is stated about the inauguratory sacrifices (Exodus 29:33), “it shall not be eaten, they are holy.” And the explanation came about this (Meilah 17b), “[It refers to] anything that is consecrated [that is] disqualified, to give a negative commandment on its eating.” And this is hinted to by the verse, in its stating, “they are holy”: This third person, which is “they,” includes all that which is disqualified of the consecrated animals. But we should not learn from this that *notar* and *piggul* (sacrifices disqualified by the wrong thought) are considered one negative commandment, as they are two topics — as I have written above on the prohibition of *piggul* in the Order of *Tsav* (Sefer HaChinukh 144). And we found about them that two [different] verses came concerning the punishments, as it is written (Leviticus 7:18), “And if it is surely eaten, etc.”; and it is written, after it, “and the soul that eats it will carry its iniquity” — and this carrying of iniquity is excision, as we learn from a comparison with *notar*. As here, it is written concerning *notar* (Leviticus 19:6-8), “and that which remains to the third day[...] is *pigul*, it is not acceptable. And one who eats them will carry his iniquity, since he profaned the holy of God, and excised, etc.” And hence, even if the warning for both of them is from one verse, it is not made impossible because of this to consider them two [separate] negative commandments. And so did they say in Meilah 17b, “*Piggul* and *notar* do not combine because they are two topics, etc.” — as it is explained there that there are things that do not combine and there are things that combine.

מִשָּׁרְשֵׁי הַמִּצְוָה. כָּתַבְתִּי בְּאִסּוּר פִּגּוּל מָה שֶׁיָּדַעְתִּי.

I have written what I have known about the roots of the matter in the prohibition of *piggul*.

[Sefer HaChinukh 215:3](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Sefer%20HaChinukh/r/215:3)

מִדִּינֵי הַנּוֹתָר. מָה שֶׁאָמְרוּ זִכְרוֹנָם לִבְרָכָה (זבחים לה, א) אָכַל מִן הָעוֹר אוֹ מִן הַמָּרָק אוֹ מִן הַתְּבָלִין אוֹ מִן הָאֲלָל אוֹ מִן הַמֻּרְאָה אוֹ מִן הַגִּידִים וּמִן הַקַּרְנַיִם וּמִן הַטְּלָפַיִם וּמִן הַצִּפָּרְנַיִם וּמִן הַחַרְטֹם, מִבֵּיצֵי הָעוֹף, מִן הַנּוֹצָה אֵינוֹ חַיָּב כָּרֵת. וְכֵן בַּדָּם (שם מה, ב) אֵין חַיָּב בּוֹ מִשּׁוּם נוֹתָר, וְכֵן בַּלְּבוֹנָה וְהַקְּטֹרֶת וְהָעֵצִים, וּכְמוֹ שֶׁכָּתַבְנוּ בְּפִגּוּל. אֲבָל מִן הַשָּׁלִיל אוֹ מִן הַשִּׁלְיָא חַיָּב כָּרֵת. וְכֵן מָה שֶׁאָמְרוּ (שם א) כִּי קָדְשֵׁי הַגּוֹיִם, כְּלוֹמַר נְדָרִים וּנְדָבוֹת שֶׁמְּקַבְּלִין מֵהֶן אֵין בָּהֶן מִשּׁוּם נוֹתָר וּפִגּוּל. וְיֶתֶר פְּרָטֵי אִסּוּר הַנּוֹתָר וְגַם הַפִּגּוּל, יִתְבָּאֲרוּ בְּהַרְבֵּה מְקוֹמוֹת מִסֵּדֶר קָדָשִׁים [הלכות פסולי המוקדשין פרק א].

**Sefer HaChinukh, translated by R. Francis Nataf, Sefaria 2018:**
From the laws of *notar* is that which they, may their memory be blessed, said (Zevachim 35a) [that if one] ate from the skin, from the gravy, from the spice, from the remnants of meat stuck to the skin, from the crop, from the sinews, from the horns, from the hooves, from the nails, from the beak, from the eggs of the bird and from its feather, he is not liable for excision. And so [too,] with blood (Zevachim 45b), one is not liable on account of *notar*; and so [too,] with the frankincense, the incense and the wood, as we wrote about *piggul*. But [if he ate] from the embryo or from the placenta, he is liable for excision. And so [too,] what they said (Zevachim 45a) that consecrated animals of the gentiles — meaning to say vows and pledges that we accept from them — do not have [liability] on account of *notar* and *piggul*. [These] and the rest of the details of the prohibition of *notar* — and also of *piggul* — are elucidated in many places in the Order of *Kodashim*. (See Mishneh Torah, Laws of Sacrifices Rendered Unfit 1.)

[Sefer HaChinukh 215:4](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Sefer%20HaChinukh/r/215:4)

וְנוֹהֵג אִסּוּר זֶה בִּזְמַן הַבַּיִת בִּזְכָרִים וּנְקֵבוֹת. וְעוֹבֵר עָלָיו וְאָכַל כַּזַּיִת נוֹתָר בְּמֵזִיד חַיָּב כָּרֵת, בְּשׁוֹגֵג חַיָּב לְהָבִיא חַטָּאת קְבוּעָה, וְכֵן הַדִּין אִם אָכַל כַּזַּיִת מִנּוֹתָר וּפִגּוּל בְּיַחַד, דִּלְעִנְיַן אֲכִילָה מִצְטָרְפִים הֵן (עי, מעילה יז ב).

**Sefer HaChinukh, translated by R. Francis Nataf, Sefaria 2018:**
And this prohibition is practiced at the time of the [Temple] by males and females. And one who transgresses it and eats a *kazayit* of *notar* volitionally is liable for excision; and he is obligated to bring a fixed sin-offering, if inadvertent. And so [too,] is the law if he ate a *kazayit* of *notar* and *piggul* in combination — since with regards to eating, they combine. (See Meilah 17b.)
