Musar for Rosh Hashanah 51:14
אביי אמר היינו טעמייהו דרבנן שופר אמר רחמנא ולא שנים ושלשה שופרות והא דפרה כיון דקאי גילדי גילדי מיתחזי כשנים ושלשה שופרות
one reason is that the All-Merciful prescribed one shofar, and not two or three shofars, and another reason is that it is keren. What then says R'Jose to this? - He can reply: With regard to your statement that the All-Merciful prescribed one shofar and not two or three shofar, since the layers are closely joined together, it is really one, and as for your statement that it is keren, all shofars are likewise called keren. What proof is there that the word yobel here<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' In Josh. VI, 5.');"><sup>21</sup></span>
Shenei Luchot HaBerit
לא תאפה חמץ . The prohibition to bake the part of the מנחה set aside for consumption by the priests as leavened dough which is derived from 6,9 is rooted in the above mentioned principle of אין קטיגור נעשה סניגור, that the advocate for the prosecution cannot also act as counsel for the defense. The offering which symbolized the sin must be totally burned without it being allowed an opportunity to develop mildew, etc., which could be the case while the dough rises before being baked. Hence the Torah insists that all of the dough be baked only as Matzah i.e. unleavened bread or cake. Traditionally we equate Chametz with the accuser. Thus far Rabbi Menachem Habavli.
