I was just thinking to put the beginning of the daf in the middle of the daf and the end of daf all together. What was the primary topic of today's daf? The parah adumah, right? It was the parah adumah. The law here is you could have had a hava amina, maybe it should be subject to the laws of chutz. It's not going to be a shaila. What does it mean chutz migita? What's that toliam the mekom ifligin the gemara came out it's toliam what there was a mabul in Eretz Yisrael not mabul in Eretz Yisrael hence the much welcome digression. But the ikar subject of the daf were the laws of the parah adumah, the laws of the parah chatas. Where was the parah adumah brought? So it's very much the topic of today's daf. The criteria is that it had to be outside Yerushalayim and the hazoyis maybe the shchita and the srayfa also had to be al pesach hayomim. The lamaysa it is a mesayeh of where the parah adumah was brought, right? It was brought on the Har Hamishcha. It was brought on It was brought on Har Hazeisim. Why was it brought on Har Hamishcha? Why was it brought on Har Hazeisim? I don't know but maybe there's a little bit of a noifach that when Yonah sent What? Not Yonah. When Noach sends the yonah, not when Yonah sends the Noach, but when Noach sends the still holding in Shabbos mizros, but when Noach sent the yonah to go see like what's going on, so the yonah came back with an aliyos torah b'fiyah. And where did he get the aliyos from? He got it from He got it from Har Hazeisim. And like the medrash says, what's the oimek of the fact that he took it from Har Hazeisim? Because Eretz Yisrael was not affected by the mabul. And what does it mean that Eretz Yisrael wasn't affected by the mabul? That means Eretz Yisrael is bedukah. It means that Eretz Yisrael is a makom of Torah. So when they went and they did the parah adumah and the parah adumah had to be brought on a makom of Torah. Right? Mayva also b'parah like you don't find anywhere in the entire Torah. There's no precedent for this. There is no comparable. You'll never find something like this. When we talk about the shashays v'choykois that chazal went ahead and suddenly bavorn when it came to the parah adumah. So they had to find a place that was tahor. They took that place. That place that symbolized the Torah of Eretz Yisrael. That place that symbolized the fact that Eretz Yisrael was mitoyharah. It was tahor is the loshon of Yechezkel. That it was never affected because the yom zam never went ahead and had any impact on it. That place where there was a mesayeh b'yad akoyel that that's where the yonah was matzah min Noach and that's where it was able to find aliyos. It's tafkin that place. Ulai again a little drushy that the parah adumah was brought just to be mechaber the lomdish part of the daf and the agadic part of the daf. And we'll stop here.
