או יתפוס הפעל להורות על השיעור כמו שכתוב

Ayelet Hashachar, translated by Betzalel Avraham Feinstein, 2021

Or it will use the verb to teach about the measure, as when it is written:

"האוכל מנבלתה" – כשיעור אכילה (שמיני ס' קס)

Ayelet Hashachar, translated by Betzalel Avraham Feinstein, 2021

האוכל מנבלתה (And he that eats of the carcass of it)³¹ – at least the minimum amount to be considered eating.

footnotes: ³¹ Leviticus 11:40.

האוכל בבית והשוכב על השיעור (מצורע ס' קיא)

Ayelet Hashachar, translated by Betzalel Avraham Feinstein, 2021

האוכל בבית והשוכב (And he that lies in the house shall wash his clothes; and he that eats in the house shall wash his clothes)³² – at least the minimum amount.

footnotes: ³² Leviticus 14:47.

"אשר יזה מדמה" – שיהיה ראוי להזיה (צו ס' סא)

Ayelet Hashachar, translated by Betzalel Avraham Feinstein, 2021

אשר יזה מדמה (and when there is sprinkled of the blood thereof)³³ – that it will be proper for sprinkling.

footnotes: ³³ Leviticus 6:20.

וכן לענין לימוד אחר כמ"ש "בכל קדש לא תגע" אזהרה לאוכל ותפס נגיעה לומר נגיעה כאכילה (תזריע ס' טז)

Ayelet Hashachar, translated by Betzalel Avraham Feinstein, 2021

And moreover, when it is written בכל קדש לא תגע (she shall touch no hallowed thing)³⁴, it is a warning about eating and it uses the word תגע (touch) to say that the law concerning touching is like the law concerning eating, that both are prohibited to an unclean person.

footnotes: ³⁴ Leviticus 12:4.

וכן "לתנופה לכפר" – מעלה עליו כאילו לא כפר (מצורע ס' סו)

Ayelet Hashachar, translated by Betzalel Avraham Feinstein, 2021

And moreover, לתנופה לכפר (to be waved, to make atonement for him)³⁵ – if one failed to perform the ritual of waving, the verse ascribes to him a status as if it does not atone; nevertheless, it does atone.

footnotes: ³⁵ Leviticus 14:21.
