Text Excerpt
או לאחד מבני חבורה, ועד שיהא עמו בעזרה. רבי יוחנן אמר: אף על פי שאין עמו בעזרה. במאי קמיפלגי? אילימא ב״על״ בסמוך קמיפלגי, דרבי שמעון בן לקיש סבר: ״על״ בסמוך, ורבי יוחנן סבר: לא בעינן ״על״ בסמוך. והא איפלגו בה חדא זימנא!
or to one of the members of the group; and he is liable only if the leaven is with him in the Temple courtyard itself. R' Yoḥanan said: He is liable even if the leaven is not with him in the Temple courtyard. With regard to what principle do they disagree? If you say that they disagree with regard to whether the expression “with” indicates next to, namely, that R' Shimon ben Lakish holds that “with” always indicates next to, and therefore “You should not offer the blood of My sacrifice with leavened bread” means that the leaven must not be next to the one slaughtering the sacrifice, in the Temple courtyard itself, and R' Yoḥanan holds that when the verse says “with,” we do not require that the leaven be next to the slaughterer in order to transgress, then this is difficult, because they have already disagreed about this once before.
דתנן: השוחט תודה לפנים ולחמה חוץ לחומה — לא קדש הלחם.
As we learned in a Mishnah: With regard to one who slaughters a thanks-offering inside the Temple courtyard while its bread, namely the 40 loaves that are brought together with the offering, is outside the wall, the bread has not become sanctified, as the verse states: “And he should offer with the thanks-offering unleavened cakes.” (Leviticus 7:12).
מאי חוץ לחומה? רבי יוחנן אמר: חוץ לחומת בית פאגי, אבל חוץ לחומת העזרה — קדיש, ולא בעינן ״על״ בסמוך. רבי שמעון בן לקיש אמר: אפילו חוץ לחומת עזרה לא קדיש. אלמא בעינן ״על״ בסמוך.
A question was raised with regard to this Mishnah: What is the meaning of the phrase outside the wall? R' Yoḥanan said: It means outside the wall of Beit Pagei, the outermost wall around Jerusalem, but if the bread was merely outside the wall of the Temple courtyard, it has been sanctified, as we do not require that the bread, described as “with” the offering, be next to it in order to be sanctified. R' Shimon ben Lakish disagreed and said: Even if the bread was merely outside the wall of the Temple courtyard, it has not been sanctified. Apparently, he holds that we require that the bread described as “with” the offering be next to it in order to be sanctified. Since R' Yoḥanan and R' Shimon ben Lakish have already disputed this issue, they presumably did not repeat this same dispute in other contexts.
