This episode of Daf with Shaul C. Greenwald explores Daf 73 of Masechet Menachot, focusing on the laws of Minchah offerings and the distribution of their portions to the Kohanim. The discussion centers on the Gemara’s analysis of various Pasukim in Parashat Tzav and Vayikra, particularly how the phrase 'v'chol mincha' teaches that all Minchah portions must be equally divided among all Kohanim, with no ability to trade shares. The Gemara examines multiple scenarios—such as trading a Minchah for a Zevach or an Oif—using the principle of 'extra' Pesukim to derive these laws. It also delves into the status of offerings brought by non-Jews (Goyim), including whether they can bring offerings like a Korban Olah or become Nazirites, and how the Torah’s language prevents such practices. The episode concludes with a discussion on the halachic status of offerings from non-Jews, particularly regarding the inclusion of Nesachim (libations), and how the Gemara resolves apparent contradictions through careful textual analysis and rabbinic interpretation.
The phrase 'v'chol mincha' in Parashat Tzav teaches that all Minchah portions must be equally divided among all Kohanim, with no right to trade shares.
Even if a Kohen is a 'Tam' (unfit for service), he still receives a share in the Korban, emphasizing the communal nature of the Matanot Kehunah.
A non-Jew (Goy) cannot bring a Korban Nazir, nor can they become a Nazir, even if they declare it, due to the Torah's exclusive definition of Nazirite status.
While a Goy may bring a Korban Olah, they cannot bring Nesachim (libations) unless they are part of a communal offering, as the Torah specifies 'Bnei Yisrael' for such rituals.
The Gemara uses 'extra' Pesukim to derive laws that are not immediately obvious, such as the prohibition against trading one type of Korban for another.
Introduction to Minchah Offerings and the Mishnah
The episode opens with a review of the Mishnah on Daf 73, which lists ten types of Minchah offerings where the Kohen performs K'mitzah (taking a handful) and the remainder is given to the Kohanim for consumption.
The Role of 'V'Chol Mincha' in Establishing Equal Distribution
“And the B'raiseh teaches us that since the Pasuk states, v'chola mincha, that the entire mincha should go l'chol b'nei Aaron to all the children of Aaron. So therefore we see that the entire mincha has to be given and shared equally amongst all the k'hanim.”
Prohibitions on Trading Korban Shares
The Gemara explores whether one Kohen can trade his share of a Minchah for a Zevach or Oif, concluding that such trades are forbidden based on the 'extra' nature of the Pesukim, which teach that all Korban portions are indivisible and must be distributed equally.
The Status of Offerings by Non-Jews (Goyim)
“And the Gemara explains that if we would only have our proselyt that states, One may have thought that although Elgoi cannot bring a carbon-nizir, But if he actually makes a Nezir to become a Nazar, he would actually become a Nazar and Kamash 1.”
The Halachic Status of Gezal HaGer and Other Matanot Kehunah
The Gemara discusses the status of stolen property from a Ger (convert), teaching that Gezal HaGer becomes part of the Matanot Kehunah and may be used for Kedushah, unlike other items which are not fit for sacred use.
“And the B'raiseh teaches us that since the Pasuk states, v'chola mincha, that the entire mincha should go l'chol b'nei Aaron to all the children of Aaron. So therefore we see that the entire mincha has to be given and shared equally amongst all the k'hanim.”
“And the Gemara explains that if we would only have our proselyt that states, One may have thought that although Elgoi cannot bring a carbon-nizir, But if he actually makes a Nezir to become a Nazar, he would actually become a Nazar and Kamash 1.”
“And the Gemara answers, Amar Rav HaKi Ka'amar, Amenasheh Eskapi Ben-Yisrael, Yisrael Eichlon, Amenasheh Eskapi Ben-Kayin, Kayin Eichlon, that the Bryce is not talking about a case where Goy was misnadah karbim shlom him.”
