Musar for Pesachim 47:1
ואם אינו ענין לאכילה תנהו ענין לאיסור הנאה
and if it is irrelevant in respect of eating,<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' It certainly cannot teach that, since each prohibition of eating is stated separately.');"><sup>1</sup></span> apply the matter to the prohibition of benefit.<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' For 'it shall be burnt' shows that all benefit is forbidden, and this has now been applied to all other prohibitions.');"><sup>2</sup></span> If so, just as ther [it must be destroyed] by burning, so all prohibited things of the Torah [must be destroyed] by burning?
