תלמוד לומר (ויקרא י, ט) חוקה (שמות כט, ט) חוקה לגזירה שוה

Because 'statute' is written in connection with each, to serve as a gezerah shawah!<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' V. Glos. - In the present context: it shall be a statute for ever; the verse for one lacking atonement has been quoted in the text; the washing of the hands and feet: And it shall be a statute for ever to them (Ex. XXX, 21) . - The use of the same word in connection with all three teaches that the same law applies to all.');"><sup>1</sup></span> - If [it were derived] from that verse, I would argue that it applies [only] to a service for which a zar is liable to death; but as fo service for which a zar is not liable to death, I would say that it is not so,<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' Scripture says, Drink no wine . when ye go into the tent of meetings, that ye die not. The Talmud interprets this as referring to a service which if performed by those unfit to do so involves death, viz., sprinkling the blood, burning the fats, and making the libations of water or wine. Now, the conditions of the various disqualifications, such as officiating without priestly vestments or without having washed the hands and feet, are deduced from those of a zar: where a zar incurs a penalty, officiating without vestments, etc. incurs a penalty. Hence as far as the present verse is concerned, since death is mentioned, I would think that the sacrifice is disqualified only where the death penalty is incurred.');"><sup>2</sup></span>
