משנה: תִּגְלַחַת הַטַּהֲרָה כֵּיצַד. הָיָה מֵבִיא שָׁלֹשׁ בְּהֵמוֹת חַטָּאת עוֹלָה וּשְׁלָמִים וְשׁוֹחֵט אֶת הַשְּׁלָמִים וּמְגַלֵּחַ עֲלֵיהֶן דִּבְרֵי רִבִּי יְהוּדָה. רִבִּי אֱלְעָזָר אוֹמֵר לֹא הָיָה מְגַלֵּחַ אֶלָּא עַל הַחַטָּאת שֶׁהַחַטָּאת קוֹדֶמֶת בְּכָל־מָקוֹם. וְאִם גִּילַּח עַל אֶחָד מִשְּׁלָשְׁתָּן יָצָא. MISHNAH: What is shaving in purity? He brings three animals202Numbers.6.14">Num. 6:14., a purification sacrifice, an elevation sacrifice, and a well-being sacrifice. He slaughters the well-being sacrifice ands shaves for it203Since shaving is mentioned in Numbers.6.18">v. 18, after the slaughter of the well-being offering in Numbers.6.17">v. 17., the words of Rebbi Jehudah. Rebbi Eleazar204In some Mishnah mss., “R. Eliezer”. says, he only should shave for the purification sacrifice since that has precedence everywhere205In the case of the nazir, Numbers.6.16">v. 16; in other cases of a common offering of purification and elevation offerings, Leviticus.5.8">Lev. 5:8., but if he shaved for any of the three, he satisfied his obligation.
הלכה: רִבִּי יְהוֹשֻׁעַ בֶּן לֵוִי אָמַר. וְאֶת הָאַיִל יַעֲשֶׂה וגו׳. מַה תַלְמוּד לוֹמַר יַעֲשֶׂה. הַקְדִּים בּוֹ מַעֲשֶׂה. הָתִיב רִבִּי חִינְנָא קוֹמֵי רִבִּי מָנָא. וְהָא כְתִיב וְעָשָׂה הַכֹּהֵן אֶת מִנְחָתוֹ וְאֶת נִסְכּוֹ. מֵעַתָּה יַעֲשֶׂה הַקְדִּים בּוֹ מַעֲשֶׂה. מַאי כְדוֹן. אָתָא רִבִּי חִינְנָא בְשֵׁם רִבִּי יְהוֹשֻׁעַ בֶּן לֵוִי. שֶׁאִם גִּילַּח עַל אַחַת מִשְּׁלָשְׁתָּן יָצָא. רִבִּי זְעִירָא בְּעָא קוֹמֵי רִבִּי מָנָא. מָאן תַּנָּא. כָּל־הַחַטָּאוֹת שֶׁבַּתּוֹרָה קוֹדְמוֹת לָאֲשָׁמוֹת. רִבִּי אֶלְעָזָר אָמַר. דִּבְרֵי הַכֹּל הִיא. כָּל־הַחַטָּאוֹת שֶׁבַּתּוֹרָה קוֹדְמוֹת לָאֲשָׁמוֹת. HALAKHAH: Rebbi Joshua ben Levi said: “The ram he shall offer, etc.206Numbers.6.17">Num. 6:17.” Why does the verse say, “he shall offer”? Start the procedure with it207In Sifry zuṭa 17, this argument is tannaïtic and attributed to R. Jehudah. It seems that he contrasts the imperfect used for sacrificing the well-being offering with the perfect used for the other offerings, to indicate beginning of an action. In the Babli and Sifry Num. 35, the preferred treatment of the well-being offering is deduced from v. 18.. Rebbi Ḥinena objected before Rebbi Mana208The R. Mana quoted in this Halakhah is neither R. Mana I, of the first, nor R. Mana II, of the fifth generation. Either there exists a third, otherwise unkown, Amora of this name or “Mana” is erroneous for “Yasa”, or “Ze‘ira” is erroneous for “Ezra”.: But is it not written: “He shall offer his flour offering and his libation206Numbers.6.17">Num. 6:17.”? Should he not start with them? How is that? Rebbi Ḥinena in the name of Rebbi Joshua ben Levi: If he shaved for any of the three, he satisfied his obligation209Flour offerings and libations are mentioned last in Numbers.6.17">v. 17. They accompany both the well-being offering (Numbers.6.17">v. 17) and the elevation offering, mentioned in Numbers.6.16">v. 16 together with the purification offering which needs neither flour nor wine. It is inferred that the order of the sacrifices is irrelevant.. Rebbi Ze‘ira asked before Rebbi Mana: Who is the Tanna of: “All purification offerings in the Torah precede the reparation offerings”? Rebbi Eleazar said, it is everybody’s opinion, “all purification offerings in the Torah precede the reparation offerings.210Zevachim 10:5" href="/Mishnah_Zevachim.10.5">Mishnah Zebaḥim 10:5. No reparation offering is due from the pure nazir.”
