Daf Ditty

A wide-ranging commentary on the daily page of Talmud.

Zevachim 106: מִכָּאן וְאֵילָךְ – בִּזְבָחִים שֶׁהִקְדִּישָׁן בִּשְׁעַת הֶיתֵּר הַבָּמוֹת וְהִקְרִיבָן בִּשְׁעַת אִיסּוּר הַבָּמוֹת

The Mishnah taught that if someone unintentionally slaughters and offers an animal outside the courtyard of the Mikdash, he is liable for a chattas for slaughtering and a separate chattas for offering that animal.

The Gemara immediately identifies the source in the Torah where we find both a warning (Devarim 12:13) and a statement of punishment (Vayikra 17:8-9) for one who offers such an animal.

The Gemara then notes that although the punishment of kareis for slaughtering an animal outside the courtyard is found in Vayikra (17:3-4), it is not clear where the warning for this offense is mentioned. Rashi explains that there cannot be a chattas obligation without the Torah warning that such an act is prohibited.

We further explore the parameters of shechutei chutz.
