|
כהן משיח |
The anointed kohen |
| שעבר ממשיחותו | that passed from his [status of] anointment |
| ואחר כך חטא | and then sins |
| וכן הנשיא |
and similarly the ruler |
| שעבר מגדולתו | that passed from his greatness |
| ואחר כך חטא | and then sins, |
| כהן משיח מביא פרא | the anointed kohen brings a bullא |
| והנשיא כהדיוט | and the ruler is like a commoner. |
|
משנה ג |
|
| חטאו עד שלא נתמנו | If they sin before they were appointed |
| ואחר כך נתמנו | and then were appointed |
| הרי אלו כהדיוט | they are like commoners. |
| רבי שמעון אומר | Rabbi Shimon says |
| אם נודע להן | if it [the sin] became known to them |
| עד שלא נתמנו | before they were appointed |
| חיבין | they are obligated [to bring the commoner's sacrifice] |
| ומשנתמנו פטוריןב | and [if they learned of their sin] when they had been appointed they are exempt [from any sacrifice].ב |
| ואיזהו הנשיא | And what is the ruler? |
| זה המלך | This is the king, |
| שנאמר (ויקרא ד:כב)י | as it says: |
| ועשה אחת מכל מצות ה' אלהיו | "And he will do one of the commandments of God his Master" |
| י[נשיא] שאין על גביו | [a ruler] who there is none above him |
| אלא ה' אלהיוג | but God his Master.ג |

This is the פר כהן המשיח
that he would have brought before leaving office; indeed
משנה ד
will set forth a number of ways in which he is still
considered the כהן המשיח.
ב. According to רבי שמעון,
both the sin and the knowledge of the sin have to occur while he has the
same status in order to incur the obligation to bring a קרבן
חטאת.
