Wajikra 3:8 Kommentar: Rashi & Siftei Chakhamim

וְסָמַ֤ךְ אֶת־יָדוֹ֙ עַל־רֹ֣אשׁ קָרְבָּנ֔וֹ וְשָׁחַ֣ט אֹת֔וֹ לִפְנֵ֖י אֹ֣הֶל מוֹעֵ֑ד וְ֠זָרְקוּ בְּנֵ֨י אַהֲרֹ֧ן אֶת־דָּמ֛וֹ עַל־הַמִּזְבֵּ֖חַ סָבִֽיב׃

Und lege seine Hand auf den Kopf des Opfers, und schlachte es vor dem Stiftszelte; die Söhne Aarons sollen dann sein Blut sprengen auf dem Altar ringsum.

Rashi on Leviticus

וזרקו AND [AARON'S SONS] SHALL DASH THE BLOOD THEREOF [ROUND ABOUT] — two applications of the blood are necessary so as to constitute four (cf. Rashi on Leviticus 1:5). He (the priest) dashes the blood with a vessel (Zevachim 55a); it is only the blood of the sin-offering that he applies with his finger (Zevachim 53a).

Siftei Chakhamim

Only the sin-offering. Concerning the sin-offering brought inside [the Heichal] it is written (4:6): “The kohein shall dip his finger into the blood and he shall sprinkle from the blood” and concerning the sin-offering brought outside it is written (ibid. 34): “The kohein shall take some blood from the sin-offering with his finger and put it atop the corners of the altar.” [Concerning the rest of the offering, however, it says that the kohanim should sprinkle the blood and does not mention “finger”] (R’em). [You might ask:] Why does Rashi not mention this above regarding the peace-offering of cattle? The answer is because it is not so much of a proof above, for perhaps the kohein did sprinkle the blood with his finger, and although Scripture does not write “finger,” we should learn a place where it is not specified from where it is clearly written — regarding the sin-offering. Therefore, Rashi waited until the end of all the sacrifices and since none of them mentioned “finger” except the sin-offering, perforce [only for the sin-offering was the blood sprinkled with the finger] (Gur Aryeh).
