22:29 ( וְכִי-תִזְבְּחוּ זֶבַח-תּוֹדָה, לַי רוָר --לִרְצֹנְכֶם, תִּזְבָּחוּ). The Posuk
talks about bringing the Zevach Todah. Of course the Korban Todah is a Korban
of thanksgiving to HKB”H. (לִרְצֹנְכֶם, תִּזְבָּחו), what does the Posuk say. When you bring
a Korban Todah to Hashem, (לִרְצֹנְכֶם, תִּזְבָּחו), bring it Lirtzonchem, bring it
willingly. What is the idea?
Rav Pam cited the Rashash in
Maseches Menachos 80 who has the following Chakira. There are two types of
Korbanos. There are Korbanos that are Chiyuvi, obligatory Korbanos which you
can only bring when there is an obligation. For example, a Korban Chatos can
only be brought when there is an obligation to bring the Chatos. There are
other Korbanos such as a Shelamim which can be brought voluntarily and it
doesn’t have to be an obligation. Of course under certain circumstances there
is an obligation to bring a Shelamim, however, in other times it can be a
Nedava, a straight out donation with no obligation at all.
The Rashash wonders whether the
Korban Todah falls under the first category that is it is only brought when
there is an obligation to bring the Korban Todah. We know that one has to bring
a Korban Todah when he goes through a time of danger and he is saved, such as
recovering from an illness or being captured. Or, can it also be brought as a
Nedava voluntarily whenever a person wants. This is the Chakirah of the
Rashash.
Rav Pam and this is printed in the
Rav Pam Hagaddah on page 152 cited a Har Tzvi who brings a Raya (a proof) that
a Todah can be brought voluntarily as well. With that knowledge, we turn back
to the Posuk and Rav Pam explained as follows. ( וְכִי-תִזְבְּחוּ
זֶבַח-תּוֹדָה, לַי רוָר --לִרְצֹנְכֶם, תִּזְבָּחוּ).There are times that you bring a
Korban Todah. Essentially the obligation to bring a Korban Todah is at those
times that today we have an obligation to say Birchas Hagomel. When we have
gone through a danger and have been saved. At that time there is an obligation
to bring a Todah. The Torah tells us don’t wait until you bring a Todah because
you have gone through a difficulty and have been saved from it. The Korban
Todah is an expression of thanks to HKB”H, and brings one close to HKB”H. Go
and do it on your own. Bring a Korban Todah without the need to go through a
time of danger. Bring a Korban Todah, express your thanks before it is a time
of urgent need. That is the Posuk that Dovid Hamelech says that is found in
Tehillim 116:17 (לְךָ-אֶזְבַּח, זֶבַח תּוֹדָה), to you I will bring a Korban offering.
If you would be obligated to bring it it would not be a Chiddush for Dovid to
fulfill his obligation. (לְךָ-אֶזְבַּח, זֶבַח תּוֹדָה) is a Posuk in which Dovid says I will
bring the Todah on my own, (לִרְצֹנְכֶם, תִּזְבָּחו). Bring it willingly which means
voluntarily. A beautiful thought on this Lirtzonchem Tizbachu.
