레위기 20:22 미드라쉬: Sifra, Bamidbar Rabbah & Midrash Tanchuma Buber

4) (Vayikra 20:22) "And you shall heed all of My statutes and all of My judgments, and you shall do them": to assign heeding and doing for statutes, and heeding and doing for judgments. (Vayikra 20:22) "and the land will not vomit you out, whither I bring you, to dwell in it": I bring you there to inherit it — not as the Canaanites, who were caretakers of the place until your coming.

Rabbi Yehoshua of Sikhnin said in the name of Rabbi Levi: There are four matters that the evil inclination decries, as “statute” is written in their regard: A brother’s wife, mixed species, the scapegoat, and the red heifer. A brother’s wife, as it is written: “The nakedness of your brother’s wife [you shall not uncover]” (Leviticus 18:16), but without children: “Her brother-in-law shall consort with her” (Deuteronomy 25:5). And it is written regarding the nakedness of a brother’s wife: “You shall observe all My statutes” (Leviticus 20:22).³⁸The verse refers to all of the forbidden relations mentioned in the chapter, including a brother’s wife. Mixed species: “You shall not wear a mixture of fibers [wool and linen together]” (Deuteronomy 22:11), but a linen cloak with woolen fringes is permitted. And it is written in its regard: “You shall observe My statutes…[and clothing of mixed fiber shall not be placed on you]” (Leviticus 19:19). The scapegoat, as it is written: “And the one who dispatches the goat to Azazel shall wash his garments” (Leviticus 16:26), but it itself [the scapegoat] atones for others. And it is written in its regard: “This shall be for you an eternal statute” (Leviticus 16:34). The heifer, from where is it derived? It is as we learn: Those dealing with the heifer, from beginning to end, impurify their garments,³⁹Mishna Para 4:4. but it itself purifies garments. And a statute is written in its regard: “This is the statute of the Torah.”

In regard to the nakedness of a brother's wife, where is it shown? Where it is written (in Lev. 18:16): YOU SHALL NOT UNCOVER THE NAKEDNESS OF YOUR BROTHER's WIFE; yet it is written (in Deut. 25:5): HER BROTHER-IN-LAW SHALL HAVE SEXUAL INTERCOURSE WITH HER <AND TAKE HER FOR A WIFE>. During <her husband's> lifetime, she is forbidden; <but> upon <his> death with no children, she is permitted to <a brother-in-law>. Moreover, for <this commandment> it is written <that it is> an unquestioned statute. Thus it is written (in Lev. 20:22): AND YOU SHALL KEEP [ALL] MY UNQUESTIONED STATUTES.
In regard to diverse kinds, where is it shown? Where it is written (in Deut. 22:11): AND YOU SHALL NOT WEAR INTERWOVEN STUFF, <WOOL AND FLAX TOGETHER>; yet a linen cloak¹¹⁸Gk.: sindon. with <wool> tassels is permitted.¹¹⁹See Numb. 15:37-38. Moreover, for <this commandment also> it is written, <that it is> an unquestioned statute. Thus it is written (in Lev. 19:19): YOU SHALL KEEP MY UNQUESTIONED STATUTE. YOU SHALL NOT MATE YOUR CATTLE WITH A DIFFERENT KIND…, [NOR SHALL YOU WEAR A GARMENT WITH DIVERSE KINDS OF INTERWOVEN STUFF].
In regard to the scapegoat, where is it shown? Where it is written (in Lev. 16:26): AND THE ONE WHO SETS THE AZAZEL-GOAT FREE <SHALL WASH HIS CLOTHES, BATHE HIS FLESH IN WATER, AND AFTER THAT MAY COME INTO THE CAMP>; yet it is <the goat> itself that atones for others. Moreover, for <this commandment also> it is written, <that it is> an unquestioned statute. Thus it is written (in Lev. 16:34): AND THIS SHALL BE TO YOU AN UNQUESTIONED STATUTE FOREVER.
In regard to the <red> heifer, where is it shown? There where we are taught (in Parah 4:4): ALL ENGAGED WITH THE <RITE OF THE RED> HEIFER FROM BEGINNING TO END RENDER <THEIR> GARMENTS UNCLEAN; yet it is <the heifer> itself that purifies <what is> unclean. Moreover, for <this commandment also> it is written, <that it is> an unquestioned statute. Thus it is written (in Numb. 19:2): THIS IS AN UNQUESTIONED STATUTE OF THE TORAH.
