Sefaria — Sifra / Toras Kohanim, Vayikra Dibbura DeChovah

Core Text of Chazal

Core Text — Toras Kohanim (Sifra), Vayikra Dibbura DeChovah, on 4:26 (ve-nislach lo — nothing left for Yom Kippur)

״וְנִסְלַח לוֹ״ — אֵין מְשַׁיְּרִים לוֹ לְיוֹם הַכִּפּוּרִים.

English: “And it shall be forgiven him” — nothing is left over for him for Yom Kippur.

In the midrash: The complete forgiveness expressed by “ve-nislach lo” is understood to leave no residual liability of that particular sin for the atonement of Yom Kippur.

Type of Learning

Complete forgiveness; no holdover to Yom Kippur — once the nasi’s chatas effects kapparah, nothing of that sin remains for Yom Kippur.

What Is Learned

When the nasi’s chatas has effected its kapparah, the specific sin for which it was brought is fully resolved. Nothing of that liability is deferred to the atonement of Yom Kippur. The verse’s language of complete forgiveness precludes any residual carry-over of that particular shegagah.
