Sin Offering for Communal Oversight - Par He'elem Davar Shel Tzibbur

Errors of a beit din

Issues applying to both this korban and the seir avodah zarah

"Communal" implies that 7 tribes sinned: Menachot 45a
This is only done if someone acted on the court's error in judgment: Menachot 45a; Keritot 26a

Who paid for this offering: Menachot 52a
Deducing the laws of this korban to/from the se'ir avodah zarah: Zevachim 40b-41a


Bringing the korban
What time of day to perform the rite of admitting the sin which warranted this offering: Megillah 20b
How many judges were needed for leaning on this offering: Sanhedrin 2a; 3b; 13b



Sprinkling the blood before the parochet
What happens if one doesn't perform all of the sprinklings of the blood before the parochet: Zevachim 39a-41b



Placement of the blood on the mizbeiach
What happens if one doesn't perform all of the sprinklings of the blood on the mizbeiach: Zevachim 39a-41b



Placement of parts on the mizbeiach
The kidneys and the yoteret lobe above the liver: Zevachim 41a-b



Beyond the laws
Even when the community sins, Gd still loves them, and this affects the way the Torah describes the burning of parts of the korban on the mizbeiach: Zevachim 41b
If the community sins, the community loses its special sanctity, and this affects the way the Torah describes the sprinkling of the blood of this korban before the parochet: Zevachim 41b
