Source Citation

Torah Temimah cites Kerisos 12a.

Sefaria — Kerisos 12a

Core Text — Kerisos 12a
סְמִיכָה — כְּדִין כָּל קָרְבָּן.

Semichah — according to the law of every korban.

In the sugya: Kerisos treats the oleh ve-yored as subject to the same leaning requirement that applies to other personal chatas and asham offerings. Semichah is not waived merely because the offering may be reduced to birds or flour when the person is poor.

Type of Learning

Diyuk applying standard leaning procedure — semichah for the oleh ve-yored follows the law of every personal korban.

What Is Learned

The oleh ve-yored receives semichah like other personal chatas and asham offerings. When the animal tier is brought, the owner leans both hands on the head of the animal in the prescribed manner. The poverty-based reduction to birds or flour does not abolish the semichah requirement for the animal form of the offering; the standard procedure of every korban applies.
