בשיעור היומי ברמב"ם נתבארו פרטי דינים באיסורי המזבח, וכותב שם: "נמצאו כל האסורים למזבח הרי הן י"ד, ואלן הן, בעל מום וכו'". א' התירוצים על השאלה שלכאו' ישנם עוד ג' איסורי מזבח שלא נימנו בי"ד הנ"ל – הוא, שאיסורי מזבח אלו נכללו באלו הי"ד שכן נימנו. אלא שלכאו' הי' עדיף שימנה אותם בפירוש ולכתוב שיש י"ז איסורי מזבח? וי"ל כי ענין המספר הוא בעיקר לתועלת זכרון הדבר ואינו משנה מאומה להלכה. והרמב"ם ויתר על הפירוט בפרטי פרטיות וכלל כמה פרטים יחד כדי שיוכל לתת סימן במספר י"ד דוקא, שיש בו תוכן ומשמעות – "יד", שזה מועיל לזכרון הדבר. ולהעיר, שמצינו אצל הרמב"ם חשיבות מיוחדת למספר י"ד שחילק את חיבורו לי"ד ספרים וכו'; תיבת יד קשור עם התורה – "כתב יד ימינו", ועם המצוות שנחלקים למ"ע – "יד ימין", ומל"ת – "יד שמאל". ע"י הזהירות ברוחניות מי"ד הדברים של איסורי המזבח מבטלים את "היד שנשתלחה במקדשך" ו"מיד הן נגאלין".

Synopsis

Today’s Rambam describes the laws of what is prohibited to be offered on the Mizbeach. The Rambam writes, “Thus, there are fourteen types of animals that are forbidden as sacrifices for the altar: a blemished animal, one that is not choice etc.” The commentators ask: why doesn’t the Rambam include in the list three other types of animals that he previously stated were forbidden for the altar? One answer is that those three types of animals are included within the fourteen categories listed, but the questions remains: why didn’t the Rambam simply list them all individually and write that there are seventeen types of animals forbidden as sacrifices? The answer is that when the Rambam writes the number of items in a list, the purpose is to help the student remember the material, and therefore he chooses a number with a special significance, to make it easier to remember. Therefore, here he combines some types into a single category because he wanted the number to be fourteen, which spells yad (hand), a number with special significance, as seen in the fact that the Rambam divided his Yad Hachazakah into fourteen books, and the fact that the word “hand” is associated with Torah (which was “Given by His right hand”) and mitzvos (which are divided into positive mitzvos and negative mitzvos (the right hand the left hand). By avoiding these fourteen forbidden categories in the spiritual sense, we abolish “the hand that was sent forth against Your sanctuary,” and thus “immediately (mi’yad) they will be redeemed.”
