THE BLOOD THROW PROCEDURE


EXAMPLE: Lv03-08a

BACKGROUND
----------
Lv01 thru Lv08 discusses the sacrifices that Jews were obligated
or volunteered to give either as individuals or as a community.
For each sacrifice the Bible indicates
-- WHO must/may bring it
-- HOW it is offered
------ how is the BLOOD placed on altar
------ what is done with the animal or plant part offered
-- WHEN is it brought; for what purposes

A majority of Rashis on sacrifices use the powerful method of
DOUBLE PARSHAS by which we extract nuances by comparing
similar paragraphs

TODAYS TOPIC
------------
How was blood thrown for the UP (OLAH) and SIN (CHATATH)

THE LIST*10
--------
The list below shows two distinct languages for the BLOOD
THROW procedure
-- THROW the BLOOD AROUND
-- TAKE BLOOD WITH FINGER AND PLACE ON HORNS (AROUND)

THE RASHI
---------
So Rashi is simple:
-- Both phraseologies use the word AROUND
-- One of them emphasizes placing on horns: So we place
blood on all 4 horns
-- The other one simply says THROW AROUND: So it suffices
to throw upwards on 2 diagonally opposite corners.
VERSE LANGUAGE VERSE OFFERING OFFERING
Lv04-25 Take with finger and PLACE on ALTAR HORNS Sin*1
Lv04-30 Take with finger and PLACE on ALTAR HORNS Sin
Lv04-34 Take with finger and PLACE on ALTAR HORNS Sin
------- -----------------------------------------
Lv01-05 THROW the blood on the altar AROUND UP*2
Lv01-11 THROW the blood on the altar AROUND UP
Lv03-02 THROW the blood on the altar AROUND PEACE
Lv03-08 THROW the blood on the altar AROUND PEACE
Lv03-13 THROW the blood on the altar AROUND PEACE
COMMENTS
*1 The Biblical language is explicit. The blood is PLACED
   on all 4 horns

*2 Note the contrast between the 2 phrases in the list.
   Apparently for the UP and PEACE offering it was only
   necessary to THROW the blood on 2 diagonally opposite
   sides (So the blood was THROWN and AROUND)*11

*10 We only bring the standard sacrifices. There were
   other special sacrifices and they fit into the
   above paradigm also (cf Lv04-07, Lv04-18,Lv08-15,
   Lv09-09, Lv16-18)

*11 There are other derivations (mentioned in the Talmud)
    in connection with the above. But it would appear to
    me that the above list and argument is the simplest.
    AGAIN: The derivation focuses on the simple fact that
    there are only two phraseologies used for blood
    throwing and hence each must refer to something
    distinct
