English Explanation of Mishnah Zevachim
Introduction Chapter thirteen deals with the prohibition of slaughtering and offering sacrifices outside of the Temple. This prohibition is found in Leviticus 17 which reads: Leviticus 17:2-9 2 Speak to Aaron and his sons and to all the Israelite people and say to them: This is what the LORD has commanded: 3 if anyone of the house of Israel slaughters an ox or sheep or goat in the camp, or does so outside the camp, 4 and does not bring it to the entrance of the Tent of Meeting to present it as an offering to the LORD, before the LORD's Tabernacle, bloodguilt shall be imputed to that man: he has shed blood; that man shall be cut off from among his people... 8 Say to them further: If anyone of the house of Israel or of the strangers who reside among them offers a burnt offering or a sacrifice, 9 and does not bring it to the entrance of the Tent of Meeting to offer it to the LORD, that person shall be cut off from his people. Note that the verses prohibit slaughtering (verse 3) and offering (verse 9). The punishment for intentionally transgressing either of these prohibitions is karet, which is translated here as “cut off from his people.” According to the rabbis, any sin which is punished with karet when done intentionally, is atoned for with a sin-offering, a hatat, when done unwittingly. Our mishnah deals with how many hatats a person would be liable for if he unwittingly slaughters and offers a sacrifice outside of the Temple.
German Commentary
untauglich gemacht. und er ist dennoch schuldig, trotzdem er nur eine untaugliche Sache dargebracht hat. Dass er auch in diesem Falle schuldig ist, geht daraus hervor, dass es (Lev. 17, 9) heisst: „und es nicht zum Eingange des Stiftszeltes bringt, um es dem Ewigen darzubringen“, das setzt voraus, dass es im Heiligtum geschlachtet worden ist. Zur Verteidigung der Ansicht des R. Jose, des Galiläers, wird angeführt, dass das drinnen Geschlachtete und dann Hinausgebrachte doch eine Zeit hatte, wo es zur Darbringung tauglich war, das drausson Geschlachtete dagegen nicht; ferner, dass das durch Hinausbringen untauglich Gewordene, wenn es trotzdem auf den Altar gebracht worden ist, nicht wieder heruntergenommen wird, s. IX, 2.
