The Braysa says that they wrapped the Korban Pesach in its skin and carried it out like that, swung over the back. Rav Eilish says, “Taius”, which Rashi explains means that this is the way the Arab merchants.
At first this sounds like he is explaining the Braysa. However, Rashi says, ??? ?????? ???????? ??? ??. This Lashon, ??? ??, sounds to me like an argument. It sounds like he is saying not to carry it that way because it is a Bezayon.
What do y’all think?
I think you should see the Hagaos Yavetz. I didnt see it inside, but as quoted by Reb Arthur Scroll (called Art by his many friends), he explains Rashi that R’ Eilish is teaching us that when it comes to doing a mitzva it is ok to not to worry about your kavod so much, even shlepping an animal through the street like an Arab merchant.
I at first made the same Diyuk in Rashi as you did, HaLeiVi. But it could be that Rashi is merely stressing the derogatory aspect of it, and no that it ought not to be done. The Rosh Yosef suggests that Rav Ilish is giving the reason why it is Asur to carry the Pesach home on Shabbos; it is Uvda d’Chol. The Tzelach suggests that is teaching that the Pesach was skinned whole, even on Shabbos (Ayein Shabbos 116-117 and Tosfos ibid. DH d’Shakil; The Tzelach Tainas that Rav Ilish is like the third Teirutz of Tosfos). The Yerios Shlomo sees here a Remez to the sale of Yosef to “Orchas Yishmaelim”, which was the root of why we ended up in Mitzrayim.
