כי יקריב – יכול גזירה ת״ל כי יקריב הא אינו אלא רשות

English: “When he brings” – one might have thought it is obligatory; the wording teaches that it is voluntary.

Type of Learning

Diyuk from the language “when / if he brings” — the conditional wording teaches that the offering is voluntary in its initiation.

What Is Learned

Bringing an olah is optional (nedavah), not obligatory.
