Text Excerpt
ואף על גב דמוספין קדישי! אטו שבת למוספין אהנאי, לתמידין לא אהנאי?!
And even though the additional offerings are of greater sanctity, as they are sacrificed due to the sanctity of Shabbat, the frequent offering precedes the offering of greater sanctity. The Talmud rejects this proof: Is that to say that the sanctity of Shabbat affects the sanctity of the additional offerings but does not affect the daily offerings brought on Shabbat? Rather, the sanctity of Shabbat elevates the sanctity of the daily offerings as well, and as both are of equal sanctity, the frequent daily offering precedes the additional offerings.
תא שמע: מוספי שבת קודמין למוספי ראש חודש! אטו ראש חודש למוספין דידיה אהני, למוספי שבת לא אהני?!
The Talmud cites another proof: Come and hear the continuation of this Mishnah: The additional Shabbat offerings precede the additional New Moon offerings because they are more frequent, despite the fact that Rosh Chodesh elevates the sanctity of its additional offerings. The Talmud rejects this proof in a similar manner: Is that to say that the sanctity of Rosh Chodesh affects the sanctity of its additional offerings but does not affect the additional offerings of Shabbat? These additional offerings are also imbued with the sanctity of Rosh Chodesh.
תא שמע: מוספי ראש חודש קודמין למוספי ראש השנה. אף על גב דראש השנה קדשה! אטו ראש השנה למוספי דידיה אהני, למוספי ראש חודש לא אהני?!
The Talmud cites another proof: Come and hear the continuation of this Mishnah: The additional New Moon offerings precede the additional New Year offerings because they are more frequent, even though the New Year is of greater sanctity. The Talmud rejects this proof as well: Is that to say that the sanctity of the New Year affects the sanctity of its additional offerings but does not affect the additional offerings of Rosh Chodesh?
