Before accessing the excerpts, please review a word about copyright.

Are you more of an "I'll dive right in and figure it out" person, or a "Show Me How This Thing Works" person?  If the former, go right ahead and try the excerpts browers on the right side of this page and/or scroll through the excerpts that start below the following information -- although we still suggest reading the information first.  If you are the latter, click here for a video demonstrating the Excerpts Browser. Either way (or both), enjoy! 

This page is recommended for searches limited to specific Torah books, weekly portions (parshiot), chapters, verses, and/or sources (authors). For keyword and/or for exact phrase (including verse and source) searches of the entire excerpts database, we recommend using the Search Engine page.  For broadest results, use both pages and alternative search strategies. 

This page displays the full text of all or "sorted" (filtered) excerpts in the database.  Use the "Torah Verses" and/or "Excerpt Sources" browsers at the right to locate the excerpts associated with your desired Torah book, portion, chapter. verse, or author.  Or, simply scroll through the excerpts, using the "boxes" at the bottom of any page displaying excerpts to "jump" ahead or back. 

Also note that immediately below the chapter, verse, and keyword of each excerpt is a highlighted line comprised of multiple links.  Clicking on any of the links will limit (filter) the excerpts display to the selected category.  

Transcription of excerpts is incomplete.  For current status, please see "Transcribed Sources" on the Search Engine page.  To assist with completion, please see "Contributors" page.

LEVITICUS | 4:2 unwittingly — LEV29 In today's modern society, if a person does...

LEV29 In today's modern society, if a person does something "wrong" by accident, without specific intent, that person is usually given a reprieve and is not looked down upon. However, Judaism does not quite view the person in the same manner. If a person commits a sin "by accident," i.e., without intent, but it could have been prevented if he had been paying closer attention, then this person is viewed as a sinner in Judaism. Though not as guilty as an intentional sinner, this person has to bring a sin offering (in Temple times), for example, for his Shogeg, an accidental sin (and this sin is often ascribed in the Torah to a Jewish leader) [this and next verse]. If a Jew accidentally kill someone (when a little more sensitivity might have prevented the action), then this person is "punished" by being banished to a city of refuge until the High Priest dies (Numbers 35:11).
