Mesorat%20hashas for Temurah 34:57

ואי דחטאת גמירי לה דלמיתה קיימי

This is the teaching of R'Ishmael. R'Akiba says: There i no need [to derive the limitation from 'rak'], for it says: 'It is a guilt-offering',<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' Lev. V, 19.');">⁴⁰</span> implying 'it' is offered but it exchange is not offered.<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' Thus excluding the exchange of other dedications from being offered.');">⁴¹</span> The Master said: 'Thou shalt take and go. One might think from this text that he brings the offspring into the Temple, etc.' But how could you have inferred this,<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' That the offspring and exchange of other dedications die, so as to require the text: And thou shalt offer thy burnt-offering, etc.');">⁴²</span> seeing that tradition mentions five sin-offerings as left to die,<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' Two of which are an offspring of a sin-offering and the exchange of a sin-offering.');">⁴³</span> thus implying that these<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' The young of peace-offerings and their exchange.');">⁴⁴</span> are offered? - You might have thought that the five sin-offerings are left to die everywhere, whereas these<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' The young of a peace-offering and its exchange.');">⁴⁵</span> are left to die only in the Temple. [Scripture] therefore informs us [that it is not so]. The Master said: 'One might think [that the young and exchange] of all dedications [are offered]? The text, however, says: Rak [only]'. Now to what young [are we alluding here]? If to the [young of a] burnt-offering, it is a male and is not capable of giving birth! If to the young of a sin-offering, there is a traditional law t is condemned to die.
