פנחס, שישי

כל מלאכת עבדה. אֲפִלּוּ מְלָאכָה הַצְּרִיכָה לָכֶם, כְּגוֹן דָּבָר הָאָבֵד, הַמֻּתָּר בְּחֻלּוֹ שֶׁל מוֹעֵד, אֲסוּרָה בְּי"ט:

Any work of consequence. Even work necessary for you, for example, to prevent a loss, which is permitted during the intermediary holiday, is prohibited during the festival.

פרים. כְּנֶגֶד אַבְרָהָם שֶׁנֶּאֱמַר "וְאֶל הַבָּקָר רָץ אַבְרָהָם" (בראשית י"ח):

Bulls. Corresponding with Avraham, as it is said, “Avraham ran to the cattle.”

אילים. כְּנֶגֶד אֵילוֹ שֶׁל יִצְחָק:

Ram. Corresponding with the ram of Yitzchok.

כבשים. כְּנֶגֶד יַעֲקֹב שֶׁנֶּאֱמַר "וְהַכְּשָׂבִים הִפְרִיד יַעֲקֹב" (שם ל'); בִּיסוֹדוֹ שֶׁל רַ' מֹשֶׁה הַדַּרְשָׁן רָאִיתִי זֹאת:

Sheep. Corresponding with Yaakov, as it is said, “Yaakov separated the lambs.” I saw this in R’ Moshe Hadarshan’s commentary.

כאלה תעשו ליום. שֶׁלֹּא יִהְיוּ פוֹחֲתִין וְהוֹלְכִין כְּפָרֵי הֶחָג (ספרי):

Like these, yoshall make daily. They should not be progressively decreasing like the oxen of the [Succos] festival.

וביום הבכורים. חַג הַשָּׁבוּעוֹת קָרוּי בִּכּוּרֵי קְצִיר חִטִּים עַל שֵׁם שְׁתֵּי הַלֶּחֶם, שֶׁהֵם רִאשׁוֹנִים לְמִנְחַת חִטִּים הַבָּאִים מִן הֶחָדָשׁ (מנחות פ"ד):

On the day of the first fruits. The Shavuos festival is called “[The festival of] the first fruits of the wheat harvest,” because of the offering of the two loaves, which are the first of the wheat minchah-offerings to come from the new crop.

תמימם יהיו לכם ונסכיהם. אַף הַנְּסָכִים יִהְיוּ תְמִימִים, לָמְדוּ רַבּוֹתֵינוּ מִכָּאן שֶׁהַיַּיִן שֶׁהֶעֱלָה קְמָחִין פָּסוּל לִנְסָכִים (שם פ"ז):

[The sacrifices] shall be without blemish — and their libations. The libations must also be unblemished. The Rabbis derive from this that wine in which floury decay globules have surfaced is disqualified for libations.

מלבד עלת החדש. מוּסְפֵי רֹאשׁ חֹדֶשׁ שֶׁהוּא בְיוֹם רֹאשׁ הַשָּׁנָה:

Aside from the [Rosh] Chodesh burnt- offering. The [Rosh] Chodesh Musaf- offerings, as it (the new moon) corresponds with the new year.

מלבד חטאת הכפרים. שָׂעִיר הַנַּעֲשֶׂה בִּפְנִים הָאָמוּר בְּאַחֲרֵי מוֹת, שֶׁגַּם הוּא חַטָּאת:

Aside from the atonement sin-offering. The goat offered in the inner chamber, mentioned in “Acharei Mos.” It, too, was a sin- offering.

ועלת התמיד. וּמִלְּבַד עוֹלַת הַתָּמִיד תַּעֲשׂוּ עוֹלוֹת הַלָּלוּ:

And the constant (daily) burnt- offering And aside from the constant burnt- offering, you shall offer these burnt-offerings.

ונסכיהם. מוּסָב עַל הַמּוּסָפִין הַכְּתוּבִים וְעַל תַּעֲשׂוּ, וְהוּא לְשׁוֹן צִוּוּי — מִלְּבַד עוֹלַת הַתָּמִיד וּמִנְחָתָהּ תַּעֲשׂוּ אֶת אֵלֶּה וְנִסְכֵּיהֶם, וְכֵן כָּל נִסְכֵּיהֶם הָאֲמוּרִים בְּכָל הַמּוֹעֲדוֹת חוּץ מִשֶּׁל קָרְבְּנוֹת הֶחָג, שֶׁכָּל וְנִסְכָּהּ, וְנִסְכֵּיהֶם, וּנְסָכֶיהָ שֶׁבָּהֶם מוּסַבִּים עַל הַתָּמִיד, וְאֵינָן לְשׁוֹן צִוּוּי, שֶׁהֲרֵי נִסְכֵּיהֶם שֶׁל מוּסָפִין כְּתוּבִין לְעַצְמָן בְּכָל יוֹם וָיוֹם:

And their libations. This relates to the musaf-offerings stated above, and to “you shall offer.” It denotes a command: ‘Aside from the constant burnt-offering and its minchah, you shall offer these and their libations.’ It is the same with every “their libations” said at all the festivals, except those concerning the [Succos] holiday sacrifices. Every “and its libation,” “and their libations,” “and its libations” among them refer to the constant sacrifice, and are not commands, since the musaf libations are written separately for each day.
