אמור, פרק ג 1

Sifra · Emor, Chapter 3, Chapter 1

‹›
  1. 1

    [א] אין לי אלא אלו בלבד. מנין לרבות שאר המומים? תלמוד לומר "מום…מום" – ריבה.

    1) (Vayikra 21:21) ("Every man in whom there is a blemish, of the seed of Aaron the Cohein, shall not come near to offer up the fire-offerings of the L–rd. There is a blemish in him; the bread of his G d he shall not come near to offer up.") This tells me only of these (i.e., the aforementioned blemishes). Whence are the other blemishes derived? From "in whom there is a blemish, of the seed of Aaron the Cohein." (i.e., only those who bear a normal human semblance may serve.)
