Torah Temimah points to Toras Kohanim (Sifra), Vayikra Dibbura DeNedavah, on 1:14 (korbano — individual only).

Sefaria — Sifra / Toras Kohanim, Vayikra Dibbura DeNedavah

Core Text of Chazal

Core Text — Toras Kohanim (Sifra), Vayikra Dibbura DeNedavah, on 1:14 (korbano — individual only)
״קָרְבָּנוֹ״ — מִכָּאן שֶׁהַיָּחִיד מֵבִיא קָרְבַּן עוֹף וְאֵין הַצִּבּוּר מְבִיאִין קָרְבַּן עוֹף.

English: “His offering” — from here that an individual brings a bird offering, and the community does not bring a bird offering.

In Sifra: The possessive “korbano” is personal. It anchors the bird olah to a private owner and thereby excludes a communal bird offering from this verse.

Type of Learning

Miyut from “korbano” — individual, not community.

What Is Learned

An individual may bring a bird olah; the community does not bring a bird offering under this verse. The singular possessive limits the category to private ownership and bars a tzibbur bird olah from being derived here.
