9
And there was an incident where the lower jaw of the firstborn protruded beyond the upper jaw, and Rabban Gamliel asked the Sages for a ruling, and they said: That is a blemish that enables the slaughter of the firstborn. With regard to the ear of the kid that was doubled and appeared like two ears, the Sages said: When the additional ear is one bone, i.e., it has its own cartilage, it is a blemish; when it does not have its own bone it is not a blemish. Rabbi แธคananya ben Gamliel says: In the case of the tail of a kid that is similar to that of a pig or one that is so short that it does not have three joints, that is a blemish.

ืืขืฉื ืฉืืืื ืืชืืชืื โ because it is taught above (see Tractate Bekhorot, Chapter 6, Mishnah 8) that its mouth (i.e., of a firstling animal) is similar to that of a pig, the Rabbis argue with [the opinion] of Illa, it comes to tell us that now the Rabbis do not dispute it other than regarding its upper lip which is stretched over its lower [lip], but [if] its lower lip is stretched over the upper[lip], the Rabbis admit/agree that it is a blemish. And also the story regarding the lower jaw that stretches over the upper [jaw], and the Sages stated that this is a blemish. These words [apply] when the bone of the lower jaw stretches over the [bone of] the upper [jaw], then it is a blemish even in an animal. But if it lacks a bone but rather that its lower lip is longer and receives the upper lip, it is blemish in a human but not in an animal.
ืืื ืืืื ืฉืืืชื ืืคืืื โ that it has two ears from one side, an ear within an ear.
ืืืื ืฉืืื ืขืฆื ืืื โ and it has only one earlobe, in which the upper earlobe is doubled inside it and combined below, it is a blemish.
ืืื ืืื ื ืขืฆื ืืื โ the earlobes are differentiated/separated above.
ืืื ื ืืื โ but the reason is not explained. But nevertheless, it is not similar to an animal (i.e., a firstling) with five feet, for an ear within an ear is not seen all that often.
ืฉืืื ืืืื ืืฉื ืืืืจ โ round like the tail of a pig, and even though it is not thin like it.
ืฉืืฉ ืืืืืืช โ it is specifically in the tail of a lamb that we require three vertebrae [of the spinal column], but the tail of a kid, one vertebrae alone is a blemish, two are not a blemish. And such is the Halakha.
