אחרי מות, פרשה ד 1

Sifra · Acharei Mot, Section 4, Chapter 1

‹›
  1. 1

    [א] "וכלה מכפר את הקדש" – אם כיפר כלה, דברי רבי עקיבא. אמר לו ר' יהודה מפני מה הוא אומר אם כלה כיפר? אלא ללמד שאם חסר אחת מכל המתנות כאילו לא כיפר. "וכלה מכפר את הקדש" – זה לפני ולפנים. "את אהל מועד" – זה היכל. "המזבח" – זה המזבח. מלמד שכל אחד ואחד כפרה בפני עצמו.

    1) (Vayikra 16:20) ("And when he has finished making atonement for the holy place, and the tent of meeting, and the altar, then he shall draw near the living he-goat.") "And when he has finished making atonement for the holy place": If he has made atonement, he has finished. These are the words of R. Akiva. R. Yehudah said to him: Why not say (as per the verse) "If he has finished, (including spilling out the left-over blood at the base of the altar), he has made atonement"? To teach that if one of the applications (of blood) were lacking, it is as if he has not made atonement. "And when he has finished making atonement for the holy place": This refers to (the sprinklings between the staves of the ark in) the holy of holies. "the tent of meeting": This refers to (the sprinklings on the curtain in) the sanctuary.
