Zvachim Daf 25 – making blood

Sacrifices such page – making blood.

Such a sub page. States that if the victim’s blood spilled on the floor rather than be a tool – the victim wrong. The Talmud explains, the need for direct blood during the bull to the tool server.

The very source of the obligation to get the blood in the above mentioned page M..:

“Sacrificed” – is receiving blood … Will not only serve as a tool. ”

The Gemara cites a verse from the beginning of the story of Leviticus:

“He shall kill the bull before the priests the sons of Aaron shall bring the blood and threw the blood on the altar round that tent.”

Both actions are explicitly mentioned in this verse: slaughter, the injection site. Verse also recalls running Tuesday – “sacrificed”, the Talmud interprets it applies for blood. Rashi comments on the site, this practice included, in fact, two things:

“Sacrificed – the first is a receipt indicating that the language of transmission, we learned that both sons of Aaron.”

That is, the verse before us reminds both the requirement of obtaining the blood in the server, and the duty to lead him to the altar. Rashi comments, the verb “sacrificed” refers, according to the plain, conveying blood. Apparently, Rashi interpreted this language is close approximation to; as follows – after the slaughter has to bring the blood to the altar, in order to throw.

The Ramban in his commentary on the site part of Rashi:

“This shall bring the blood received, there is no blood Caribbean language altar sacrificed her transmission, but is the language of sacrifice, will make the blood sacrifice.”

Maimonides insists that Rashi interpreted the word “sacrificed” the language of the approach to the altar, but disagree. Know the Ramban, “sacrificed” means the sacrifice of blood sacrifice.

Of course, this means Ramban gives special significance for blood. In his opinion, the reception is not only on technical cooperation, which aims to collect the blood and bring it to the altar, but is a significant sacrifices. Has the bar, according to the Ramban’s way of acceptance is that sanctifies blood, and gives him his identity as blood holies.

No doubt, the laws referred to in Vsogyitino support the Ramban’s position. Demand for direct admission of the blood in the server, without intermediate stops blood Kiddush concerns. That is, animal blood is not a saint, and spill on the floor, no matter what and hallowed it. Only receive blood directly Kiddush lead tool, enabling the continuation path of the victim.

The fact that reception is sanctified also requires blood to absorb all the tools (hereinafter known add-on to “, this requirement is only initially, and in retrospect, even if did not receive all the blood, the victim kosher). Blood animal, which is more than atonement for the altar, have be directed to the tool designed to hallowed be able to do the commandment.

In general, the reception is paying the altar sacrifices animal world. Although the animal has been devoted to helping and slaughtered, but these operations can be performed even by the owner, though not Cohen. Admission, training solely Cohen, is the first step in the process of victim.
