  1. 1

    [א] "וְאִם הֵאָכֹל יֵאָכֵל…בַּיּוֹם הַשְּׁלִישִׁי לֹא יֵרָצֶה" – אמר ר' אליעזר, כוף אזניך לשמוע שהשוחט את זבחו על מנת לאכלו ביום השלישי הרי זה ב-'לא ירצה'. אמר רבי עקיבא שומע אני "וְאִם הֵאָכֹל יֵאָכֵל מִבְּשַׂר זֶבַח שְׁלָמָיו בַּיּוֹם הַשְּׁלִישִׁי לֹא יֵרָצֶה" – אם אכל ממנו ביום השלישי יהיה פסול, ואי אפשר לומר כן! מאחר שהוכשר יחזור ויפסל?! הן?! אם מצינו בזב וזבה ושומרת יום כנגד יום שהן בחזקת טהרה, וכשראו – סתרו; אף זה, שהיה בחזקת היתר, אם אכל ממנו ביום השלישי יהיה פסול! תלמוד לומר "המקריב" – בשעת הקרבה הוא נפסל ואינו נפסל ביום השלישי

    1) (Vayikra 7:18) ("And if there be eaten of the flesh of the sacrifice of his peace-offerings on the third day, it shall not be accepted. He that offers it shall not bethink himself. It shall be piggul ("rejected"), and the soul that eats of it shall bear his sin.") "And if there be eaten … on the third day, it shall not be accepted": R. Eliezer said: Incline your ear to hear: (Scripture is speaking not of actual eating, but of thinking, i.e.,) "If one thinks to eat of his sacrifice on the third day, it shall not be accepted." R. Akiva said: I would understand the verse (literally) as meaning that if he (actually) ate of it on the third day it becomes unfit. — But it is impossible to say this. For after it has been validated (by the priestly service), can it then become unfit? — Yes, (indeed it may)! For we find in respect to a zav (a man with a genital emission) or a zavah (a woman with a genital emission), or a woman who watches a day (without emission) against a day (of emission), that when they are in a state of taharah (ritual cleanliness) and (again) witness an emission, they annul (that state of taharah) — this (offering), too, if he ate of it on the third day, it becomes unfit. It is, therefore, written (to negate this,) "he that offers" — It is at the time of offering (with wrong intent) that it becomes unfit, and not on the third day (when it is eaten).
