Horayot 9: Transgressions & Sacrifices of Different People; Patterns

Some notes from today's daf:

• a person who is poor and cannot afford a sheep brings a bird offering
• a person who cannot afford a bird offering brings a meal offering
• a king and a kohen gadol are exempt from this because they must be rich
• a kohen gadol exceeds his brothers in every way (beauty, wealth, etc.)
• perhaps a kohen gadol exceeds because of his brothers, ie. they give him his wealth

A new Mishna lays out transgressions and their assigned sacrifices:*

Transgression	Person	Sacrifice
One who is punishable by karet when transgressing intentionally	Individual King Anointed Kohen Court	Female lamb/goat  Male goat Bull Bull
Idolatry	Individual King Anointed H.P. Court	Female lamb  Female lamb Female Lamb Bull (olah), Goat (chatas)

The rabbis discuss:

• those who falsely deny their knowledge of testimony
• those who are impure in the mikdash
• those who eat sacrifices
• those who violate an oath

• the rabbis look for patterns between those who commit certain offences/ bring specific sacrifices and who is obligated/exempt from those sacrifices
• the rabbis identify differences between the sacrifices of a king and the sacrifices of a nation
