A Miracle in the Bais haMikdash

Parsha Pages | June 27, 2025

ויקרא ו,ג: וְלָּבַשׁ הַכֹהֵן מִדוֹ בַד וּמִכְנְסֵי־בַד יִלְבַשׁ עַל־בְשָּרוֹ וְהֵרִ ים אֶת־הַדֶשֶׁן אֲשֶׁר תֹּ אכַל הָּאֵשׁ אֶת־הָּעֹלָּה עַל־הַמִזְבֵחַ וְשָּמוֹ אֵצֶל הַמִזְבֵחַ :

Baal HaTurim: ושמו The gematria of this word (352) is equal to the phrase ונבלע במקומו “it was swallowed up in its place.” One of the daily miracles in the Bais haMikdash involved the earth of the Courtyard swallowing certain articles where were no longer usable but were (due to their former function) not permitted to be removed from the Courtyard. These articles included the ashes from the Menorah and the inner Altar.
