###### Zevachim 8b:1
[Zevachim 8b:1](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Zevachim/r/8b:1)

חַטָּאת דַּעֲבוֹדָה זָרָה, דִּשְׁמִיעַת הַקּוֹל, וּבִטּוּי שְׂפָתַיִם, וְטוּמְאַת מִקְדָּשׁ וְקָדָשָׁיו – דְּלָא כְּתִיב בְּהוּ; מְנָלַן?

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
**From where do we** derive these *halakhot* with regard to **a sin offering** brought **for idol worship,** which has unique *halakhot*, as detailed in Numbers 15:27–31, and with regard to which the term: For a sin offering, is not written? Likewise, from where do we derive them with regard to the sin offerings that are brought **for** the **hearing** of **the voice, and** for **an utterance of the lips, and** for the **defiling of** the **Temple or its sacrificial** foods, which also have unique *halakhot* (Leviticus 5:1–13), and **with regard to which** the term: For a sin offering, **is not written** either?


###### Zevachim 8b:2
[Zevachim 8b:2](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Zevachim/r/8b:2)

חַטָּאת דַּעֲבוֹדָה זָרָה – אָתְיָא מֵחַטַּאת חֵלֶב, שֶׁכֵּן כָּרֵת כְּמוֹתָהּ; וְהָנָךְ כּוּלְּהִי – אָתְיָין בְּמָה הַצַּד.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
The Gemara answers: With regard to **a sin offering** brought **for idol worship,** these *halakhot* are **derived from** the *halakhot* of **a sin offering** brought for eating forbidden **fat, as** idol worship is also punishable by ***karet*, similar to** consumption of forbidden fat. **And** with regard to **all these** other sin offerings, which are brought for transgressions not punishable by *karet*, these *halakhot* **are derived by** analogy from **the common element** of the aforementioned three sources, namely, a standard sin offering, the sin offering of a nazirite, and the sin offering of a leper.


###### Zevachim 8b:3
[Zevachim 8b:3](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Zevachim/r/8b:3)

תָּנוּ רַבָּנַן: פֶּסַח בִּזְמַנּוֹ – לִשְׁמוֹ כָּשֵׁר, שֶׁלֹּא לִשְׁמוֹ פָּסוּל; וּבִשְׁאָר יְמוֹת הַשָּׁנָה – לִשְׁמוֹ פָּסוּל, שֶׁלֹּא לִשְׁמוֹ כָּשֵׁר.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
§ **The Sages taught:** When **a Paschal offering** is sacrificed **at its** appointed **time,** on Passover eve after noon, if it is sacrificed **for its sake,** it is **fit;** if it is sacrificed **not for its sake,** it is **unfit,** as stated in the mishna. **And** when an offering consecrated as a Paschal offering is sacrificed **during the rest of the days of the year,** if it is sacrificed **for its sake,** it is **unfit;** if it is sacrificed **not for its sake,** it is **fit.**


###### Zevachim 8b:4
[Zevachim 8b:4](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Zevachim/r/8b:4)

(של״ו קבאיצ״ן ממה״ר בצ״א ב״א סִימָן)

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
The Gemara presents **a mnemonic** for the names of the *amora’im* mentioned in this discussion: ***Shin*, *lamed*, *vav*; *kuf*, *beit*, *alef*, *yod*, *tzadi*, *nun*; *mem*, *mem*, *heh*, *reish*; *beit*, *tzadi*, *alef*; *beit*, *alef*.**


###### Zevachim 8b:5
[Zevachim 8b:5](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Zevachim/r/8b:5)

מְנָא הָנֵי מִילֵּי? אָמַר אֲבוּהּ דִּשְׁמוּאֵל, אָמַר קְרָא: ״וְאִם מִן הַצֹּאן קׇרְבָּנוֹ לְזֶבַח שְׁלָמִים לַה׳״ – דָּבָר הַבָּא מִן הַצֹּאן יְהֵא לְזֶבַח שְׁלָמִים.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
The Gemara asks: **From where are these matters** derived, i.e., that if a Paschal offering is sacrificed during the rest of the year it is fit if sacrificed not for its sake? **Shmuel’s father says: The verse states: “And if his offering for a sacrifice of peace offerings unto the Lord is of the flock”** (Leviticus 3:6), indicating that an offering **that is brought** only **from the flock will be a sacrifice of peace offerings.** The Paschal offering fulfills this criterion.


###### Zevachim 8b:6
[Zevachim 8b:6](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Zevachim/r/8b:6)

אֵימָא שְׁלָמִים אִין, מִידֵּי אַחֲרִינָא לָא! אָמַר רַבִּי אִילָא אָמַר רַבִּי יוֹחָנָן: ״לְזֶבַח״ – לְרַבּוֹת כׇּל זֶבַח.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
The Gemara challenges: **Say** that if it is sacrificed for the sake of **a peace offering, yes,** it is fit, but if it is sacrificed for the sake of **some other** offering, it is **not** fit. **Rabbi Ila says** that **Rabbi Yoḥanan says:** The redundant expression **“for a sacrifice”** in Leviticus 3:6 is stated **to include any** type of **sacrifice.**


###### Zevachim 8b:7
[Zevachim 8b:7](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Zevachim/r/8b:7)

אֵימָא כֹּל דְּשָׁחֵיט – לֶהֱוֵי כְּמוֹתָהּ!

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
The Gemara asks: If so, **say** that a Paschal offering **should be** rendered **as any** offering for **which** one **slaughters** it; for example, if it is slaughtered for the sake of a burnt offering, it should be rendered a burnt offering.


###### Zevachim 8b:8
[Zevachim 8b:8](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Zevachim/r/8b:8)

אִי הֲוָה כְּתִיב ״לִשְׁלָמִים וְזֶבַח״ – כִּדְקָאָמְרַתְּ; הַשְׁתָּא דִּכְתִיב ״לְזֶבַח שְׁלָמִים״ – לְכֹל דְּשָׁחֵיט לֵיהּ, שְׁלָמִים לֶהֱוֵי.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
The Gemara answers: **If** the phrase: **For peace offerings and a sacrifice, was written** in the verse, it would be **as you say. Now that it is written: “For a sacrifice of peace offerings,”** it indicates that **for whatever** type of offering one **slaughters it, it will be a peace offering.**


###### Zevachim 8b:9
[Zevachim 8b:9](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Zevachim/r/8b:9)

אֵימָא: ״לְזֶבַח״ – כָּלַל, ״שְׁלָמִים״ – פָּרַט; כְּלָל וּפְרָט – אֵין בַּכְּלָל אֶלָּא מַה שֶׁבַּפְּרָט; שְׁלָמִים אִין, מִידֵּי אַחֲרִינָא לָא!

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
The Gemara challenges: **Say** that: **“For a sacrifice,”** is **a generalization** and: **“Of peace offerings,”** is **a detail,** and according to the principles of biblical hermeneutics, wherever there is **a generalization and a detail, the generalization includes only that which is** specified **in the detail.** Accordingly, if the offering is sacrificed for the sake of **a peace offering, yes,** it is fit; but if it is sacrificed for the sake of **another** offering, it is **not** fit.


###### Zevachim 8b:10
[Zevachim 8b:10](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Zevachim/r/8b:10)

״לַה׳״ – הָדַר וְכָלַל.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
The Gemara answers: With the term: **“Unto the Lord,”** the verse **then generalized** again. Therefore, the verse is formulated as a generalization, a detail, and a generalization, as the Gemara will explain.


###### Zevachim 8b:11
[Zevachim 8b:11](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Zevachim/r/8b:11)

מַתְקֵיף לַהּ רַב יַעֲקֹב מִנְּהַר פְּקוֹד: הָא לָא דָּמֵי כְּלָלָא בָּתְרָא לִכְלָלָא קַמָּא; כְּלָלָא קַמָּא – מְרַבֵּי זְבָחִים וְתוּ לָא; כְּלָלָא בָּתְרָא – ״לַה׳״ כֹּל דְּלַה׳, וַאֲפִילּוּ לְעוֹפוֹת וַאֲפִילּוּ לִמְנָחוֹת!

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
**Rav Ya’akov of Nehar Pekod objects to this** suggestion: **But the latter generalization is dissimilar to the former generalization. The former generalization:** “For a sacrifice,” **includes** only **slaughtered offerings and nothing more,** whereas **the latter generalization: “Unto the Lord,”** includes **any** offering **unto the Lord. And** accordingly, **even** if the Paschal offering was sacrificed **for** the sake of **bird** offerings, **or even for** the sake of **meal offerings,** it should be fit, as these are brought “unto the Lord.”


###### Zevachim 8b:12
[Zevachim 8b:12](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Zevachim/r/8b:12)

הָא תַּנָּא דְּבֵי רַבִּי יִשְׁמָעֵאל, בִּכְלָלֵי וּפְרָטֵי דָּרֵישׁ כִּי הַאי גַוְונָא:

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
The Gemara responds to this objection: **The school of Rabbi Yishmael taught generalizations and details** even in examples **like this case.**


###### Zevachim 8b:13
[Zevachim 8b:13](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Zevachim/r/8b:13)

כְּלָל וּפְרָט וּכְלָל – אִי אַתָּה דָן אֶלָּא כְּעֵין הַפְּרָט; מָה הַפְּרָט מְפוֹרָשׁ – שֶׁהוּא שֶׁלֹּא לִשְׁמוֹ, וְכָשֵׁר; אַף כֹּל – שֶׁהוּא שֶׁלֹּא לִשְׁמוֹ, וְכָשֵׁר.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
The Gemara explains: Since “unto the Lord” is a second generalization, the verse is formulated as **a generalization, and a detail, and a generalization,** and **you may deduce** that the verse is referring **only** to items **similar to the detail. Just as** the items mentioned in **the detail** are clearly **defined as** a case where a Paschal offering was sacrificed **not for its own sake, and** nevertheless it is **fit, so too,** in **any** case **where it** was sacrificed **not for its sake but** for the sake of another offering, it is **fit.**


###### Zevachim 8b:14
[Zevachim 8b:14](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Zevachim/r/8b:14)

אִי – מָה הַפְּרָט מְפוֹרָשׁ, דָּבָר הַבָּא בְּנֶדֶר וּבִנְדָבָה; אַף כׇּל הַבָּא בְּנֶדֶר וּבִנְדָבָה – עוֹלָה וּשְׁלָמִים אִין, חַטָּאת וְאָשָׁם לֹא!

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
The Gemara asks: **If** the verse is referring only to actions similar to the detail, then **just as** the items mentioned in **the detail** are clearly **defined** as a peace offering, which is **a matter that is brought as a vow** offering **or as a gift** offering, **so too,** a Paschal offering should be fit only if it was sacrificed for the sake of **any** offering **that is brought as a vow** offering **or as a gift** offering. Accordingly, if it was sacrificed for the sake of **a burnt offering or a peace offering, yes,** it is fit, as these are brought as a vow offering or as a gift offering; but if it was sacrificed for the sake of **a sin offering or a guilt offering,** it is **not** fit, as these are not brought as a vow offering or as a gift offering.


###### Zevachim 8b:15
[Zevachim 8b:15](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Zevachim/r/8b:15)

אֶלָּא ״לְזֶבַח״ – רִבּוּיָא הוּא.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
The Gemara therefore rejects the exegetical method of generalizations and details in favor of that of amplifications and restrictions: **Rather,** the term: **“For a sacrifice,” is** not a generalization, but **an amplification,** which includes any type of offering. Therefore, if a Paschal offering is sacrificed for the sake of any type of offering during the rest of the year, it is fit.


###### Zevachim 8b:16
[Zevachim 8b:16](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Zevachim/r/8b:16)

אֵימָא לְכֹל דְּשָׁחֵיט לֵיהּ – לֶהֱוֵי כְּוָותֵיהּ!

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
The Gemara challenges: If so, **say** that it adds that a Paschal offering **should be** rendered **as any** offering for **which** one **slaughters** it. Why does Shmuel’s father interpret that it is rendered a peace offering specifically?
