Text Excerpt

לדעת ⁠— יצא, שלא לדעת ⁠— לא יצא.

if he does so with the consent of the one obligated to bring the offering he has fulfilled his obligation, but if he does so without the consent of the one obligated to bring the offering he has not fulfilled his obligation.

״עולתו ושלמיו של פלוני עלי״, בין לדעת בין שלא לדעת ⁠— יצא.

With regard to one who says: It is incumbent upon me to bring the burnt offering or the peace offering of so-and-so, whether he does so with the latter’s consent or without his consent, the one obligated to bring the offering has fulfilled his obligation. This apparently contradicts the statement of Shmuel, who said the bringing of a burnt offering requires the consent of the one obligated to bring the offering.

אמר לך שמואל: כי תניא ההיא בשעת כפרה, דאירצי בשעת הפרשה, כי קאמינא אנא בשעת הפרשה.

Shmuel could have said to you: When that baraita is taught, and states that one fulfills his obligation for his burnt offering without his consent, it is referring to the time of atonement, i.e., the sacrifice. At that stage, his consent is not necessary, as he already consented at the time of separating the animal as an offering. When I said the consent of the one receiving atonement is required, I was speaking of the time of separating the animal as an offering.

ופליגא דעולא, דאמר עולא: לא חילקו בין חטאת לעולה, אלא שחטאת צריכה דעת בשעת הפרשה, ועולה אין צריכה דעת בשעת הפרשה, אבל בשעת כפרה ⁠— אידי ואידי לדעת ⁠— יצא, שלא לדעת ⁠— לא יצא.

And Shmuel disagrees with the opinion of Ulla, as Ulla says: The rabbis distinguish between the consent required for a sin offering or a guilt offering and the consent required for a burnt offering or a peace offering only in that a sin offering and a guilt offering require the consent of the one obligated to bring the offering at the time the other person separates the animal for an offering on his behalf, and a burnt offering and a peace offering do not require his consent at the time of separating the animal. But with regard to both this pair of offerings and that pair of offerings at the time of atonement, the requisite consent is the same for all offerings: If the offering was sacrificed with his consent he has fulfilled his obligation; if it was not sacrificed with his consent he has not fulfilled his obligation.
