Musar for Pesachim 47:14

אי מה כאן בשריפה אף כל איסורין שבתורה בשריפה אמר קרא הנותר הנותר בשריפה ואין כל איסורין שבתורה בשריפה

how much the more sacred flesh, which is more stringent! And should you say, We cannot give a warning [of flagellation] as a result of an ad majus conclusion,<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' This is a general principle. Hence this argument does not suffice to make it an offence punishable by flagellation, and so 'shall not be eaten' is here required.');"><sup>21</sup></span> but this is a hekkesh,<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' V. Glos.,an analogy between two laws which rests on a Biblical intimation (as Lev. XIV, 13) or on a principle common to both (Jast.) . Flagellation is inflicted on the basis of a hekkesh.');"><sup>22</sup></span> for it is written, Thou mayest not eat within thy gates the tithe of thy corn, or of thy wine, or of thine oil, or the firstlings of thy herd or of thy flock, nor any of thy vows which thou vowest, nor thy freewill-offerings etc.<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' Deut. XII, 17. 'Vows' and freewill-offerings' are sacrifices, and 'Scripture, by coupling these with tithes, shows that they are the same.');"><sup>23</sup></span>

Shenei Luchot HaBerit

[The author continues for several columns to discuss the pros and cons of how to interpret that particular discussion in the Talmud. The conclusion he comes to is that Maimonides can certainly claim to base his ruling not only on the Sifri but also on Rava in the section of the Talmud quoted. Ed].
