English: “Whole” — why is this stated? To teach: just as if it is not whole it is not accepted favorably, so if it is not according to this entire matter it is not accepted favorably.
In Sifra:Tamim is generalized. Physical wholeness is the paradigm; the same logic extends to the whole package of requirements in the section. Anything short of the full inyan fails l’ratzon the way a blemished animal fails.
Type of Learning
Ribbuy of conditions for ratzon — tamim models total conformity to the section.
What Is Learned
Tamim is not only physical completeness. The offering must conform to the full set of requirements of this section to be l’ratzon. Missing a required element of the inyan is like missing bodily integrity.
