  • Rav Hirsch states that בערתי is used because it must not just be *removed* but it must be *cleared out* in the way specified for that type of kodshim. That is it must be eaten or burnt. Rav Hirsch translates the pasuk as
  • > I have cleared out that which is hallowed from the house.
  • Since this means it must be fully disposed of (or desroyed) the term ביעור is appropriate. Indeed if the maaser sheni has not been brought to Yerushalayim it must be destroyed and not just removed from the house.
  • Rav Hirsch explains:
  • > Referring to all these the declaration has to be made בערתי מן הבית "I have cleared them out of my house", that he has nothing in his possession which has not been disposed of **in the prescribed way**. So that on the day on which the declaration was to be made i.e. on ערב יום טוב אחרון של פסה of the fourth and seventh year (see above) was the ביעור i.e. everything which had not yet been disposed of in the prescribed manner had then ti be disposed of, or if that were not possible, destroyed.

Rav Hirsch states that בערתי is used because it must not just be *removed* but it must be *cleared out* in the way specified for that type of kodshim. That is it must be eaten or burnt. Rav Hirsch translates the pasuk as 

 > I have cleared out that which is hallowed from the house.

Since this means it must be fully disposed of (or desroyed) the term ביעור is appropriate.

Rav Hirsch explains:


 > Referring to all these the declaration has to be made בערתי מן הבית "I have cleared them out of my house", that he has nothing in his possession which has not been disposed of **in the prescribed way**. So that on the day on which the declaration was to be made i.e. on ערב יום טוב אחרון של פסה of the fourth and seventh year (see above) was the ביעור i.e. everything which had not yet been disposed of in the prescribed manner had then ti be disposed of, or if that were not possible, destroyed.
