English: Fat and the two kidneys are said of the asham and of the shelamim — just as of the asham…
In the midrash: Parallel language concerning the kidneys and their fat in the asham and the shelamim supports a hekesh that transfers procedural detail from one to the other.
Type of Learning
Hekesh of shelamim emurim to asham — shelamim kidney-and-fat rules follow the asham pattern.
What Is Learned
Shelamim kidney-and-fat rules follow the asham pattern. The Sifra notes the shared phrasing of “fat and the two kidneys” in both contexts and therefore draws the procedural consequences of the asham into the shelamim. The result is a uniform treatment of these emurim across the two offerings.
