Core Text — Zevachim 41b
מִפְּנֵי שֶׁמִּשְׁפַּט כֹּהֵן מָשִׁיחַ כְּיָחִיד.

English: Because the law of the anointed kohen is like that of an individual.

In the sugya: The distinctive listing is explained by the fact that the High Priest’s chatas follows individual rather than communal patterns in certain respects.

Type of Learning

Mashiach treated as yachid for emurim — the High Priest’s bull follows individual patterns for the listing of the lobe and kidneys.

What Is Learned

The High Priest’s bull follows individual patterns for the listing of the lobe and kidneys. The Gemara explains the unique wording by noting that the anointed kohen’s offering is treated, in this respect, like the chatas of a private individual rather than like the communal bull. This accounts for the fuller enumeration of the emurim in the High Priest’s section of the chapter.
