Talmud zu Wajikra 6:5

HALAKHAH: “Three kinds are forbidden for the nazir,” etc. Impurity, as it is written⁴Lev. 6:6.: “During all the days he vowed to the Eternal he shall not come close to a human corpse.” Shaving, as it is written⁵Lev. 6:5.: “During all the days of his nazir vow, a shaving knife shall not come onto his head.” Anything from the vine, as it is written⁶Lev. 6:4.: “During all the days of his vow, of anything coming from the wine-vine [he shall not eat.]”

It was stated²⁰Sifra Ṣaw Pereq 2(7).=; Babli 24b,45a. “Rebbi Jehudah said, from where that kindling fire wood²¹Rashi’s explanation. may only be done by a qualified Cohen and with a vessel of service²²The firewood had to be transported in a dedicated vessel.? The verse says, Aaron’s the priest’s sons shall put fire on the altar. Rebbi Simeon said, could anybody think that a non-Cohen might approach the top of the altar? Then why is it said, Aaron’s the priest’s sons shall put fire on the altar? This teaches that kindling the fire may only be done on top of the altar” They objected, is it not written “and the fire on the altar shall burn there, it shall not go out²³Lev. 6:5., from here that kindling the fire may only be done on top of the altar, the words of Rebbi Jehudah²⁴Babli 45a.”? The argument of Rebbi Jehudah is inverted. There it needs a qualified Cohen, but here it does not need a qualified Cohen. Rebbi Tanḥum bar Yudan said, what do you understand from here? Could we say on top of the altar and a non-Cohen²⁵Since it already was stated that no non-Cohen could be present at the altar, a mention of “Cohen” was superfluous in the second case.?
