Leviticus: Tzav: What miracles happened to the broken clay pots?

Did you know...?

Ch.6, vs.21

What miracles happened to the broken clay pots?

וּכְלִי־חֶ֛רֶשׂ אֲשֶׁ֥ר תְּבֻשַּׁל־בּ֖וֹ יִשָּׁבֵ֑ר וְאִם־בִּכְלִ֤י נְחֹ֙שֶׁת֙ בֻּשָּׁ֔לָה וּמֹרַ֥ק וְשֻׁטַּ֖ף בַּמָּֽיִם׃

An earthen vessel in which it was boiled shall be broken; if it was boiled in a copper vessel, [the vessel] shall be scoured and rinsed with water.

One of the miracles of the Temple was, that the clay pots that were used to cook the chatat offering, and were later broken, would be swallowed up into the floor.
