The Rema (Y.D. 123: 26) quotes a תשובת הרא"ש, "If
someone
drank Yayin Nesech בשוגג, he should fast 5 days, because It
says
5 times גפן in Chumash."
Meforshim ask on the Rosh that there are actually
7 times* “גפן” in the Torah. Some answer
We exclude 2 which are in Mishna Torah (Devarim)
The Orach Mishor argues and claims The Rosh says
“in CHUMASH” , Mishna Torah is part of Chumash just
as much as the other four Chumashim. It doesn't make
sense to exclude the Gefens from Sefer Devarim.
Parshas Hashavua
The Bach says it’s referring to the five times it says
גפן at the story of the שר המשקים . This
is also incorrect
It only says twice גפן at the שר
המשקים & Yosef.
The O.M. corrects the Girsa in the Bach, to read except for
the 2 at the שר המשקים . They are not part of the
count.
The Chasam Sofer has a lengthy explanation why we exclude
the two times it says גפן at the .שר המשקים
(The two Gefens are referring to Yerushalayim shel Maloh
&Matoh)
The truth is that the word גפן appears eight times* in
the Torah. (in seven Pesukim) This being the case there
is
a simple way to explain the Rosh. If we assume
there was a
printing mistake instead of a ח they printed a ה (very
common printing mistake) Perhaps we should change
from ה' פעמים to ח' פעמים and would have
to fast
8 days.
