English: “From you” — excluding the stolen, for it is not his.
In the sugya:Mikem requires that the animal come from the offerer’s own domain. A gazul fails that test: it is not “from you.” The same phrase is later put to other exclusions; here the focus is theft. Related discussions of mitzvah ha-ba’ah ba’aveirah sit nearby, but the verse’s own lever is ownership.
Type of Learning
Miyut from mikem — the korban must be the offerer’s, not stolen property.
What Is Learned
A stolen animal is invalid as a korban under this verse. “From you” means from what is yours. Bringing a gazul is not a valid drawing-near; the ownership defect is read straight off the word mikem.
