וזאת תורת האשם. כבר הודעתיך ההפרש בין חטאת ואשם אף על פי שהכתוב יאמר בחטאת אשם ובאשם חטאת. וטעם להזכיר זאת הפרשה להזכיר החלבים שאין להם זכר בתורת החטאת: AND THIS IS THE LAW OF THE GUILT-OFFERING. I have previously1See I.E. on Lev. 5:17. explained to you the difference between a sin offering2Hebrew, chattat. and a guilt offering.3Asham. [There is a difference between the two] even though Scripture employs the term guilt when referring to a sin offering4See Lev. 5:6, And he shall bring his forfeit (ashamo)…for his sin. Also Lev. 4:13, 14, And are guilty (ve-ashemu)…then the assembly shall offer…a sin-offering. and the word sin when referring to a guilt offering.5See Lev. 5:17,18, And if any one sin…And he shall bring a ram…for a guilt-offering. Scripture records this section6The section dealing with the law of the guilt offering (verses 1-7). because it wants to make mention of the fat,7Of the guilt offering. to which no reference is made when Scripture earlier records the law of the sin offering.8In the previous Torah portion, Va-Yikra. There the Torah deals with sin and guilt offerings.
