עוֹלֹתֵיכֶם – עוֹלַת יָחִיד וְעוֹלַת צִבּוּר. וְזִבְחֵיכֶם – זִבְחֵי שַׁלְמֵי יָחִיד וְזִבְחֵי שַׁלְמֵי צִבּוּר.
Pisqa’ 68⁶⁵
- “Your Holocaust-offerings” (Dt. 12:11)— both the private Holocaust-offerings and the communal Holocaust-offerings. “Your sacrifices” (Dt. 12:11)— both the private Communion-offerings and the communal Communion-offerings.
footnotes: ⁶⁵ H:121-122;JN1:201.
מַעְשְׂרֹתֵיכֶם, רַבִּי עֲקִיבָה אוֹמֵר: בִּשְׁנֵי מַעַשְׂרוֹת הַכָּתוּב מְדַבֵּר – אֶחָד מַעְשַׂר דָּגָן וְאֶחָד מַעְשַׂר בְּהֵמָה.
“Your Tithes” (Dt. 12:11)—
This verse speaks of two distinct Tithes. One is the Tithe of grain, and the other is the Tithe of cattle.⁶⁶ 63.3.
footnotes: ⁶⁶ //T. Bech. 7:1. Seer Pisqa’
וּתְרוּמַת יֶדְכֶם – אֵלּוּ הַבִּכּוּרִים.
“And your Threshing-floor-offering”⁶⁷ 63.3 regarding the translation of terumat yedchem. (Dt. 12:11)— this is the First-fruits-offering (bikurim).
footnotes: ⁶⁷ See note at Pisqa’
וְכֹל מִבְחַר נִדְרֵיכֶם אֲשֶׁר תִּדְּרוּ לַה׳ – לְרַבּוֹת נְדָרִים וּנְדָבוֹת, שֶׁלֹּא יָבִיא אֶלָּא מִן הַמֻּבְחָר.
“And all the choicest of your Vow-offerings which you vow to HASHEM” (Dt. 12:11)— this includes the specification that Vow-offerings and Voluntary-offerings **may be offered only from the finest.**⁶⁸
footnotes: ⁶⁸ =T. Men.9:2.
וְאֵין לִי אֶלָּא נְדָרִים וּנְדָבוֹת, מִנַּיִן לְרַבּוֹת בְּכוֹרוֹת וּמַעַשְׂרוֹת חַטָּאוֹת וַאֲשָׁמוֹת? תַּלְמוּד לוֹמַר: מִבְחַר נִדְרֵיכֶם – וְכֹל מִבְחַר נִדְרֵיכֶם.
I might infer only the inclusion of Vow-offerings and Voluntary-offerings. On what basis do I include Firstlings, Tithes, Purification—offerings and Guilt-offerings? Does the Teaching state: “The choicest of your Vow-offerings”? [No, it states:] “All the choicest of your Vow-offerings” (Dt. 12:11)— [all includes the other Most-Holy offerings as well]!
רַבִּי אוֹמֵר: אִם נֶאֶמְרוּ לְמַעְלָה לָמָּה נֶאֶמְרוּ לְמַטָּה? רִאשׁוֹנָה לְעִנְיַן שִׁילֹה, שְׁנִיָּה לְעִנְיַן יְרוּשָׁלִַם.
- Rabbi says: If the various offerings are enumerated above (Dt. 12:6), why are they enumerated below (Dt. 12:11)? The [offerings enumerated in] the first list [were meant for] the shrine at Shiloh, but the [offerings enumerated in] the second list [were meant for] the shrine at Jerusalem.
