The Martial says something beautiful on this Gamara. He says that we know that there are Shiva Samina Nish Top Erits Yisrael. Right, there are seven species, seven minam of perois that when the Torah praises the beauty of Erits Yisrael, it focuses on those seven perois. What are the Shiva Samina? Chita, Soira, Gafen, Taina, Rimon. One of the seven is the Zayis. But the Torah doesn't mention the Zayis. The Torah says Shemen Zayis. So says the Martial, I don't understand. By the Chita we mention the Chita. By the Soira we mention the Soira. By the Gafen we mention the Gafen. The Rimon we mention the Rimon. We don't say pomegranate juice, we mention the actual Rimon. How come when it comes to the Zayis we don't mention the Zayis? We talk about the Shemen Zayis. The pri is the Zayis. The Shemen is the toitsa that comes out of the pri. We're talking about the perois in Erits Yisrael. So just mention the Zayis. Now you'll tell me the Zayis is chosheve because of the Shemen. It's either that's the toivada, that's the peri. Really what the Torah should have said was Zayis. Why we talk about the Shemen Zayis? Says the Martial, see this brisa it's half of a fellow. Because herogal be Zayis is something that's meshakeach salimud. But if somebody is rogal be be Shemen Zayis then it's meshaveach salimud. In fact Rabi Yochanan said Shemen Zayis meshakeach limud shel shivim shana, kach Shemen Zayis meshaveach limud shel shivim shana. If a Zayis is something that's meshakeach salimud, it can't be that that's a double shvach. We can't be meshaveach Zayis. Because even though it's a chosheve thing, yeah, from a secular perspective, but it's a davar hamishakeach salimud. That's why when it came to the perois in Erits Yisrael said the Martial, we mention the Shemen Zayis. Because it's davka there that the shvach is. It's something that's chosheve and it's also something that's meshaveach salimud. But the Zayis being that it's a davar hamishakeach salimud, that can't be the chefso that is something praiseworthy about. And it's for that reason the Torah went out of its way here to mention the Shem inside as opposed to the Zios of the
