“With the ram of the asham” — from where that if he brought his asham before he brought his me’ilah restitution he has not fulfilled? The asham [restitution] must already be in place.
In the sugya: Order matters. The principal restitution must precede the offering of the ram. Bringing the animal first, while the monetary obligation is still outstanding, does not achieve kapparah.
Type of Learning
Diyuk of order — principal restitution precedes the ram.
What Is Learned
Principal restitution is primary; the animal may not precede it. The asham ram is effective only after the monetary obligation has already been discharged.
