Source Citation

Torath Kohanim / Zevachim material on earthenware vs. copper vessels (regular TT sources for the chatas vessel rules).

Core Text

וכלי חרס אשר תבשל בו ישבר — כלי חרס שנבלע בו מטעם החטאת טעון שבירה. ואם בכלי נחשת בשלה מרק ושטף במים — כלי מתכת די לו במריקה ושטיפה. כל זכר בכהנים יאכל אתה קדש קדשים היא — נאכלת לזכרי כהונה במקום קדוש.

Ucheli cheres asher tevushal bo yishaver — keli cheres shenivla bo mita’am hachatat ta’un shevirah. Ve’im bichli nechoshet bushalah morak veshutaf bamayim — keli matechet dai lo bemerikah ushetifah. Kol zachar bakohanim yochal osah kodesh kodashim hi — ne’echelet lezichrei kehunah bemakom kadosh.

“An earthenware vessel in which it is boiled shall be broken” — an earthenware vessel that has absorbed the taste of the chatas must be broken. “And if it is boiled in a copper vessel, it shall be scoured and rinsed in water” — a metal vessel requires only scouring and rinsing. “Every male among the Kohanim may eat it; it is most holy” — it is eaten by male Kohanim in a holy place.

On the daf / in context
The classical sources distinguish the treatment of vessels according to material: earthenware that absorbs must be broken, while metal can be purged. The same verse confirms that the chatas is eaten only by male Kohanim and is kodshei kodashim.
Type of Learning

Custom — vessel rules differentiated by material.

What Is Learned

An earthenware vessel used for cooking the chatas must be broken; a copper vessel is scoured and rinsed. The flesh is eaten by male Kohanim and is most holy.
