רבינא אמר דכולי עלמא דון מינה ואוקי באתרה והיינו טעמא דרבנן שלמיהם ריבויא הוא:

must be analogous with the rule there: and as in that case all that which is given as a gift to the priest [must be waved], so here also all that which is given as a gift to the priest [must be waved].<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' Here the whole beast is a gift to the priest, whilst in the case of an individual's peace-offering only the breast and thigh 'are given to the priest.');"><sup>2</sup></span>

רבי שמעון אומר שלשה מינין טעונין שלש מצות שתים בכל אחד ושלישית אין בהן ואלו הן זבחי שלמי יחיד וזבחי שלמי צבור ואשם מצורע

Rabina said, All accept the principle 'Deduce from it and establish it in its own place', but this is the reason of the Rabbis: I is written, Their peace-offerings,<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' Lev. VII, 34. with reference to the peace-offering of an individual. The use of the plural 'peace-offerings' signifies that even in another kind of peace-offering, namely that of the community, only the breast and the thigh are to be waved.');"><sup>3</sup></span>

זבחי שלמי יחיד טעונין סמיכה חיים ותנופה שחוטין ואין בהן תנופה חיים זבחי שלמי צבור טעונין תנופה חיים ושחוטין ואין בהן סמיכה אשם מצורע טעון סמיכה ותנופה חי ואין בו תנופה שחוט:

ויהיו זבחי שלמי יחיד טעונין תנופה חיים מקל וחומר ומה זבחי שלמי צבור שאין טעונין סמיכה חיים טעונין תנופה חיים זבחי שלמי יחיד שטעונין סמיכה חיים אינו דין שטעונין תנופה חיים

R'SIMEON SAYS, THERE ARE THREE KINDS OF OFFERING WHICH [BETWEEN THEM] REQUIRE THREE RITES; TWO [OF THE THREE RITES] APPLY TO EACH KIND OF OFFERING, BUT THE THREE ARE WITH NONE.

מיעט רחמנא גבי זבחי שלמי צבור אותם אותם למעוטי זבחי שלמי יחיד

AND THESE ARE THEY: THE PEACE-OFFERING OF THE INDIVIDUAL, THE PEACE-OFFERING OF THE COMMUNITY AND THE GUILT-OFFERING OF THE LEPER, THE PEACE-OFFERING OF THE INDIVIDUAL REQUIRES THE LAYING ON OF HANDS FOR THE LIVING ANIMAL AND WAVING AFTER IT IS SLAUGHTERED, BUT IT DOES NOT REQUIRE WAVING FOR THE LIVING ANIMAL.

ויהיו זבחי שלמי צבור טעונין סמיכה מקל וחומר ומה זבחי שלמי יחיד שאין טעונין תנופה חיים טעונין סמיכה זבחי שלמי צבור שטעונין תנופה חיים אינו דין שטעונין סמיכה אמר רבינא גמירי שתי סמיכות בצבור

THE PEACE-OFFERING OF THE COMMUNITY REQUIRES WAVING FOR THE LIVING ANIMAL AND ALSO AFTER IT IS SLAUGHTERED, BUT IT DOES NOT REQUIRE THE LAYING ON OF HANDS.

ויהא אשם מצורע טעון תנופה שחוט מקל וחומר מה זבחי שלמי יחיד שאין טעונין תנופה חיים טעונין תנופה שחוטין אשם מצורע שטעון תנופה חי אינו דין שטעון תנופה שחוט

THE GUILT-OFFERING OF THE LEPER REQUIRES THE LAYING ON OF HANDS AND ALSO WAVING FOR THE LIVING ANIMAL, BUT IT DOES NOT REQUIRE WAVING AFTER IT IS SLAUGHTERED.

מיעט רחמנא גבי זבחי שלמי יחיד אותו אותו למעוטי אשם מצורע

But [surely one could argue by the following] a fortiori argument that the peace-offering of the individual should require waving for the living animal: for if the peace-offering of the community, which does not require the laying on of hands for the living animal, requires waving for the living animal, how much more does the peace-offering of the individual, which requires the laying on of hands for the living animal, require waving for the living animal! - The Divine Law stated in connection with the peace-offering of the community the exclusive term 'them'<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' Lev. XXIII, 20.');"><sup>4</sup></span>

תנו רבנן חמשה שהביאו קרבן אחד אחד מניף על ידי כולם והאשה כהן מניף על ידה וכן השולח קרבנותיו ממדינת הים כהן מניף על ידו:

in order to exclude the peace-offering of the individual. Again [one could argue by the following] a fortiori argument that the' peace-offering of the community should require the laying on of hands: for if the peace-offering of the individual, which does not require waving for the living animal, requires the laying on of hands, how much more does the peace-offering of the community, which requires waving for the living animal, require the laying on of hands! - Said Rabina: There is a tradition that among the offerings of the community only two require the laying on of hands.<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' And these are: the bullock offered when the whole community sinned in error and the Scapegoat on the Day of Atonement,');"><sup>5</sup></span> And again [one could argue by the following] a fortiori argument that the guilt-offering of the leper should require waving after it is slaughtered: for if the peace-offering of the individual, which does not require waving for the living animal, requires waving after it is slaughtered, how much more should the guilt-offering of the leper, which requires waving for the living animal, require waving after it is slaughtered! - The Divine Law therefore stated the exclusive term 'it'<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' Lev. VII, 30.');"><sup>6</sup></span> in connection with the peace-offering of the individual in order to exclude the guilt-offering of the leper. Our Rabbis taught: If five persons brought one offering [jointly], one of them performs the rite of waving on behalf of them all. In the case of a woman, the priest waves [the offering] on her behalf. And so, too, if a person sent his offerings from across the seas, the priest waves them on his behalf.
