anything

<<of sacred food

<<that is disqualified —

<<has come

<<the verse

<<to give

<<a prohibition

<<against

<<eating it!

<<These things apply

<<where

<<before

<<its disqualification

<<it was fit;

<<here,

<<before

<<its disqualification

<<too

<<it was not

<<fit.

But let him be flogged

<<also

<<like the other

<<of Rabbi Eliezer.

<<As it is taught:

<<Rabbi Eliezer

<<says:

<<anything

<<that is

<<under ‘wholly burnt

<<it shall be’ —

<<[is] to give

<<a prohibition

<<against

<<eating it!

<<Yes, so it is,

<<and Rava

<<from this

<<verse

<<is speaking.

Rav Giddel said in the name of Rav:

<<(Mnemonic: Kuza)

<<a kohen

<<who ate

<<of the sin-offering

<<or guilt-offering

<<before

<<sprinkling

<<is flogged.

<<What is the reason?

<<For said

<<the verse:

<<‘and they shall eat

<<them

<<with which

<<atonement was made

<<for them’ —

<<after

<<atonement,

<<yes;

<<before

<<atonement,

<<no.

<<A prohibition

<<that comes

<<by implication from

<<a positive commandment

<<a prohibition

<<is.

Objected

<<Rava:

<<‘and every

<<animal

<<that has a split

<<hoof

<<and is cloven

<<through

<<into two

<<hooves,

<<that chews

<<the cud

<<among animals —

<<it

<<you shall eat’;

<<‘it

<<you shall eat,’

<<but not

<<an animal

<<other

<<shall you eat.

<<And if

<<as you said,

<<‘this

<<you shall not

<<eat’ —

<<why do I need it?

Rather,

<<if

<<it was stated,

<<thus

<<it was stated:

<<Rav Giddel said in the name of Rav:

<<a non-kohen

<<who ate

<<of the sin-offering

<<or guilt-offering

<<before

<<sprinkling

<<is exempt.

<<What is the reason?

<<For said

<<the verse:

<<‘and they shall eat

<<them

<<with which

<<atonement was made

<<for them’ —

<<wherever

<<we read

<<of it

<<‘and they shall eat

<<them

<<with which

<<atonement was made

<<for them,’

<<we read

<<of it

<<‘and a non-kohen

<<shall not

<<eat

<<holy food’;

<<and wherever

<<we do not

<<read

<<of it

<<‘and they shall eat

<<them

<<with which

<<atonement was made

<<for them,’

<<we do not

<<read

<<of it

<<‘and a non-kohen

<<shall not

<<eat.’

Rabbi Elazar said in the name of Rabbi Hoshaya:

<<bikkurim —

<<placing [them]

<<is indispensable

<<to them;

<<reciting

<<is not

<<indispensable

<<to them.

And did

<<say

<<Rabbi Elazar

<<so?

<<But

<<Rabbi Elazar said in the name of Rabbi Hoshaya:

<<[if] he separated

<<bikkurim

<<before

<<the festival [of Sukkos],

<<and passed

<<over them

<<the festival,

<<they must rot.

<<What,

<<is it not

<<because

<<not

<<can he

<<recite

<<over them?

<<And if

<<it should enter your mind

<<reciting

<<is not

<<indispensable

<<to them,

<<why

<<must they rot?

As Rabbi Zeira [taught],

<<for Rabbi Zeira said:

<<whatever

<<is fit

<<for mixing —

<<is not

<<mixing

<<indispensable

<<to it;

<<and whatever

<<is not

<<fit

<<for mixing —

<<mixing

<<is indispensable

<<to it.

Rabbi Acha bar Yaakov

<<teaches it

<<as Rabbi Asi

<<Rabbi Yochanan said,

<<and it was difficult

<<for him

<<Rabbi Yochanan

<<against Rabbi Yochanan.

<<And did

<<say

<<Rabbi Yochanan:

<<bikkurim —

<<placing [them]

<<is indispensable

<<to them;

<<reciting

<<is not

<<indispensable

<<to them?

<<But

<<asked

<<of him

<<Rabbi Asi

<<of Rabbi Yochanan:

<<bikkurim —

<<from when

<<are they permitted

<<to kohanim?

<<And he said

<<to him:

<<those fit

<<for reciting —

<<from when he recited

<<over them;

<<and those that are not

<<fit

<<for reciting —

<<from when they saw

<<the face of the House.

There is a difficulty:

<<‘reciting’ against ‘reciting’;

<<there is a difficulty:

<<‘placing’ against ‘placing’!

‘Reciting’ against ‘reciting’

<<is not a difficulty:

<<this is

<<Rabbi Shimon;

<<this is

<<the Rabbis.

<<‘Placing’ against ‘placing’

<<too

<<is not a difficulty:

<<this is

<<Rabbi Yehuda,

<<and this is

<<the Rabbis.

What is

<<[the view of] Rabbi Yehuda?

<<As it is taught:

<<Rabbi Yehuda

<<says:

<<‘and you shall place it’ —

<<this is

<<waving.

<<You

<<say

<<this is

<<waving,

<<or

<<is it not

<<rather

<<placing

<<literally?

<<When

<<it says

<<‘and he shall place it,’

<<behold

<<placing

<<is stated;

<<so

<<how

<<do I

<<fulfill

<<‘and you shall place it’?

<<This is

<<waving.

And who is

<<the tanna

<<who disagrees

<<with

<<Rabbi Yehuda?

<<Rabbi Eliezer ben Yaakov

<<it is,

<<as it is taught:

<<‘and shall take

<<the kohen

<<the basket

<<from your hand’ —

<<this teaches

<<about

<<bikkurim

<<that they require

<<waving —

<<the words of

<<Rabbi Eliezer ben Yaakov.

<<What is the reason

<<of Rabbi Eliezer ben Yaakov?

It is derived

<<‘hand’ from ‘hand’

<<from peace-offerings:

<<it is written

<<here:

<<‘and shall take

<<the kohen

<<the basket

<<from your hand,’

<<and it is written:

<<‘his hands

<<shall bring

<<the fire-offerings of

<<Hashem’ —

<<just as

<<here

<<it is the kohen,

<<so too

<<there

<<it is the kohen;

<<just as

<<there

<<it is the owner,

<<so too

<<here

<<it is the owner.

<<How so?

<<places

<<the kohen

<<his hands

<<under

<<the hands of

<<the owner

<<and waves.

Rava bar Ada said in the name of Rabbi Yitzchak:

<<bikkurim
