The Gemara relates that it is necessary to wash the innards of an Olah before offering them on the altar.
The basis of this ruling is the pasuk that states (Malachi 1:8), “Offer it, if you please, to your governor, will he show you favor, or will he turn his countenance to you?”
Rashi asserts that the same verse is the basis of the disqualification of using an animal that it a tereifah as a korban. Rambam as well writes that an animal that becomes a tereifah may not be offered as a korban since one would not offer such an animal to his governor.
We explore the RAMCHAL’s use of this verse in the pursuit of authentic practice.
