Core Text
וְכִפֶּר — בְּכַפָּרַת דְּבָרִים הַכָּתוּב מְדַבֵּר (וִדּוּי), אוֹ אֵינוֹ אֶלָּא בְּכַפָּרַת דָּמִים? הֲרֵי הוּא אוֹמֵר וְהִקְרִיב אַהֲרֹן אֶת פַּר הַחַטָּאת אֲשֶׁר לוֹ וַעֲדַיִין לֹא נִשְׁחַט הַפָּר.

English: “And he shall atone” — Scripture speaks of kapparah of words (vidui). Or is it only kapparah of blood? But it says “and Aharon shall bring near the chatas bull which is his” and the bull has not yet been slaughtered.

Type of Learning

Vidui before slaughter

What Is Learned

The first “vechipper” refers to confession, since it is stated before the bull is slaughtered.
