Core Text — Chullin 5a
״מִכֶּם״ — מִכֶּם וְלֹא כּוּלְּכֶם, לְהוֹצִיא אֶת הַמּוּמָר.

English: “From you” — from you and not all of you, to exclude the renegade (mumar).

In the sugya: The same mikem that excluded the gazul is read as a partition inside Israel: “from you” is not “from every one of you.” The mumar — the Jew who has broken with observance in the sense the sugya addresses — is outside the circle of acceptable offerers for this purpose. The derasha is a limit on who counts as the “you” of the verse.

Type of Learning

Miyut from mikem — “from you” is not “from all of you”; the mumar is excluded.

What Is Learned

Offerings under this verse are not accepted from the mumar in the sense Chullin excludes. Mikem divides the people addressed: the loyal core is in; the renegade is out. The precise grade of mumar is a larger sugya; the verse’s contribution is the partition itself.
