Rashi on Leviticus 21:22

Torah

22 โ€Ž[1] ืžืงื“ืฉื™ ื”ืงื“ืฉื™ื OF THE MOST HOLY โ€” These are what are technically known as ืงื“ืฉื™ ืงื“ืฉื™ื โ€” of them he may eat.

โ€Ž[2] ื•ืžืŸ ื”ืงื“ืฉื™ื ื™ืื›ืœ AND OF THE HOLY HE MAY EAT โ€” these are what are technically known as ืงื“ืฉื™ื ืงืœื™ื. But if ืงื“ืฉื™ ืงื“ืฉื™ื are mentioned as being permitted to him as food, why are ืงื“ืฉื™ื ืงืœื™ื also mentioned? Could this not be inferred by a conclusion a fortiori? But the explanation is as follows: If ืงื“ืฉื™ื ืงืœื™ื were not expressly mentioned as being permitted, I might have said: of the sacrifices holy in the highest degree the priest with a bodily blemish may eat โ€” because we find that these had on one occasion been permitted to be eaten even by a non-priest, for Moses (who was not a priest) ate the flesh of the installation offering (cf. Leviticus 8:29; and this was holy in the highest degree since Scripture continues there: โ€œSeethe the flesh at the entrance of the appointed tentโ€ฆ etc., a law that only applies to ืงื“ืฉื™ ืงื“ืฉื™ื) โ€” but he (a priest who is ื‘ืขืœ ืžื•ื) must not eat of the breast and the shoulder of sacrifices holy in a minor degree, since we do not find that a non-priest ever took a share in them. On this account sacrifices holy in a minor degree are expressly stated as permitted to be eaten. Thus it is explained in Treatise Zevachim 101b (cf. also Sifra, Emor, Chapter 3 8-9).
