וקרבו וכרעיו ירחץ במים – שיהיו נקיים

English: “And its innards and its legs he shall wash with water” – so that they are clean.

Type of Learning

Requirement that the inner parts and the legs be washed before they are offered — they must be clean when placed on the altar.

What Is Learned

Even the parts that are not outwardly visible are washed and prepared with care, teaching that the entire offering — inward and outward — is brought in a state of purity and dignity before Hashem.
