Mishnayos Chullin Perek 6 Mishnah 4

חולין פרק ו׳ משנה ד׳

4

If one slaughtered one hundred undomesticated animals in one place, one covering of the blood suffices for all the animals and there is no obligation to cover the blood of each animal separately. Likewise, if one slaughtered one hundred birds in one place, one covering of the blood suffices for all the birds. If one slaughtered an undomesticated animal and a bird in one place, one covering for all of the blood is sufficient. Rabbi Yehuda says: If one slaughtered an undomesticated animal, he should cover its blood immediately and only thereafter he should slaughter the bird. If one slaughtered an undomesticated animal or bird and did not cover the blood, and another person saw the uncovered blood, the second person is obligated to cover the blood. If one covered the blood and it was then uncovered, he is exempt from covering it again. If the wind blew earth on the blood and covered it, and it was consequently uncovered, he is obligated to cover the blood.

שָׁחַט מֵאָה חַיּוֹת בְּמָקוֹם אֶחָד, כִּסּוּי אֶחָד לְכֻלָּן. מֵאָה עוֹפוֹת בְּמָקוֹם אֶחָד, כִּסּוּי אֶחָד לְכֻלָּן. חַיָּה וָעוֹף בְּמָקוֹם אֶחָד, כִּסּוּי אֶחָד לְכֻלָּן. רַבִּי יְהוּדָה אוֹמֵר, שָׁחַט חַיָּה, יְכַסֶּנָּה, וְאַחַר כָּךְ יִשְׁחֹט אֶת הָעוֹף. שָׁחַט וְלֹא כִסָּה וְרָאָהוּ אַחֵר, חַיָּב לְכַסּוֹת. כִּסָּהוּ וְנִתְגַּלָּה, פָּטוּר מִלְּכַסּוֹת. כִּסָּהוּ הָרוּחַ, חַיָּב לְכַסּוֹת:

שחט חיה יכסנה ואחר כך ישחוט את העוף – as it is written (Leviticus 17:13): “[And if any Israelite or any stranger who resides among them hunts down] an animal or a bird [that may be eaten, he shall pour out its blood and cover it with earth],” he interrupts from this one to the other one to put on a covering for each and every one. But the Rabbis think this or they require him to divide it, for it not, I would have said that there is no need to cover [the blood] unless he ritually slaughtered both of them. But everyone admits that regarding the blessing, he doesn’t recite other than one blessing, but the Halakha is not according to Rabbi Yehuda.

וראהו אחר חייב לכסות – as it is written in the portion of the covering of the blood, [and I say] (Leviticus 17:12): “[Therefore I say] to the Israelite people: [No person among you shall partake of blood],” this Mitzvah–commandment applies to all the Israelite people.

כסהו הרוח חייב לכסות – this Mishnah was learned only that he returned and it was revealed–exposed, but if he did not return and it was revealed, he is exempt from covering [the blood].

שחט חיה יכסנה ואחר כך ישחוט את העוף. דכתיב (ויקרא י״ז:י״ג) חיה או עוף, הפסיק זה מזה, להטעין כיסוי לכל אחד ואחד. ורבנן סברי, האי או מיבעי ליה לחלק, דאי לאו או הוה אמינא אין צריך כיסוי אא״כ שחט שניהם. והכל מודים דלענין ברכה אינו מברך אלא ברכה אחת. ואין הלכה כרבי יהודה:

וראהו אחר חייב לכסות. דכתיב בפרשת כיסוי הדם, ואומר לבני ישראל, מצוה זו תהא על כל בני ישראל:

כסהו הרוח חייב לכסות. ולא שנו אלא שחזר ונתגלה, אבל לא חזר ונתגלה פטור מלכסות:
