Keeping The Blood In - Tzav 5772


The question of the week is: we have in 6:20 (כֹּל אֲשֶׁר-יִגַּע בִּבְשָׂרָהּ, יִקְדָּשׁ; וַאֲשֶׁר יִזֶּה מִדָּמָהּ, עַל-הַבֶּגֶד--אֲשֶׁר יִזֶּה עָלֶיהָ, תְּכַבֵּס בְּמָקוֹם קָדֹשׁ). If blood of a Korban comes on a Beged it must be washed in the Bais Hamikdash. We know that blood is not allowed to leave the Bais Hamikdash. The Ramban says (החמיר הכתוב בדם הנבלע בבגד לעשותו כאשר היה קודם הזיה שלא יצא חוץ לקלעים) that this Posuk is teaching us that if blood is absorbed into a garment the person has to wash it off of the garment before he leaves the Bais Hamikdash. He should not be taking the blood out.
It is hard to understand the Ramban’s explanation. What happens when he washes the blood out of the Beged, where does the blood go? All the blood of the Mikdash went into the Amah which was a narrow stream of water that went through the center of the Bais Hamikdash and it went out into Nachal Kidron the valley that is alongside the Bais Hamikdash. So it is difficult to understand that the washing of the Begadim is because the blood should not go out. But all the blood does go out, the blood didn’t stay in the Bais Hamikdash. The blood ran out into the Amah that went into Nachal Kidron.
If you would explain that it has to do with the Kedusha of the Beged maybe I could understand it, however, the Ramban’s explanation certainly needs Hesber.
