ת"ל ועשהו חטאת הגורל עושה חטאת ואין השם עושה חטאת

Come and hear: And offer him for a sin-offering<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' Lev. XVI, 9: And Aaron shall present the goat upon which the lot fell for the Lord, and offer it for a sin-offering.');">¹⁶</span> i.e., the lot designates it for the sin-offering, but t naming<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' By the high priest. The above verse, in which the offering-up follows immediately 'upon which the lot fell' indicates that the coming up of the lot decides the matter, not the naming by the priest.');">¹⁷</span> [alone] does not designate it a sin-offering. For I might have assumed, this could be inferred a minori: If in a case where the lot does not sanctify,<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' As with the sacrificial couples of birds, where either owner or priest by verbal statement makes the designation, where, however, the casting of lots would be useless.');">¹⁸</span> the naming does sanctify, how much more will the naming sanctify where the lot also does so sanctify?
