Midrasz do Kapłańska 6:4

Variantly: "You may not light a fire in all of your dwellings": From (Leviticus 6:6) "A perpetual fire shall burn on the altar," I might think, both on the weekdays and on the Sabbath. And how would I understand (Exodus 31:14) "Those who profane it shall be put to death"? As referring to other labors, other than that of (lighting) the woodpile. (But perhaps, even the woodpile.) And how would I understand (Leviticus 6:4) "It (the woodpile fire) shall not go out"? As referring to weekdays, and not the Sabbath. It is, therefore, written "You may not light a fire in all of your dwellings." For your dwellings you do not light it, but you do light it for the Temple (woodpile). One of the disciples of R. Yishmael asked: What is the intent of "You shall not light a fire"? __ From (Devarim 21:21) "And if there be in a man a sin whose judgment is death, then he shall be put to death," I would understand, both on a weekday or on the Sabbath. And how would I understand "Those who profane it shall be put to death"? As referring to other deaths, other than judicial death penalties. __ But perhaps, even judicial death penalties, and how would I understand "then he shall be put to death"? As referring to weekdays, and not on the Sabbath. __ Or perhaps even on the Sabbath … It is, therefore, written "You may not light a fire in all of your dwellings." Burning was in the general category (of all the forbidden labors), and it left that category (for specific mention) to teach, viz.: Just as burning, one of the judicial death penalties, does not override the Sabbath, so, all of the judicial death penalties do not override the Sabbath.

4) And when it is written in respect to the ashes (Vayikra 6:4): "outside the camp," let this not be stated, for it is already written (here): "to a clean place, where the ashes are poured out." If so, why is "outside the camp" written? To add a third camp.

[(Lev. 16:1:) AFTER THE DEATH OF AARON'S TWO SONS.] {R. Isaac} [R. Ahawa] bar Ze'era said: (Job 37:1:) AT THIS ALSO MY HEART TREMBLES AND LEAPS FROM ITS PLACE. What is the meaning of AND LEAPS?³⁶Tanh., Lev. 6:4; PRK 26(27):5; Lev. R. 20:5. "Jumps," as < Scripture > says (in Lev. 11:21): < WHICH HAVE KNEES ABOVE THEIR FEET > WITH WHICH TO JUMP UPON THE EARTH. Moreover, we translate < the word > > "to jump" (in the Targum Onqelos of Lev. 11:21). When Titus the Wicked entered the Holy of Holies and {sawed} [cut] < open > the curtain,³⁷So Sifre, Deut. 32:38; (328); Git. 56b; Gen. R. 10:7; Lev. R. 22:3; Eccl.
