Chullin 7:5 - 7:6

גיד הנשה שנתבשל עם הגידים – [of those thighs] that are permitted.

בזמן שמכירו – he casts it outside, and there is nothing here other than its remnants.

בנותן טעם – if the prohibited nerve–sinew imparts a taste of flavor in all of these, they are all prohibited.

ואם לאו – that he doesn’t recognize that all of them are forbidden, and in each one, one can say that this is it, but it is not neutralized through a majority for it is considered like a living creature and a living creature cannot be neutralized.

בזמן שמכירין – for the forbidden pieces, we estimate with the imparting of a flavor and if there isn’t enough in order to impart a flavor, it is something permitted, and the rest is permitted.

ואם אין מכירין – all the pieces are forbidden for each one of them, one can suspect and state that perhaps this is it, and it is not nullified in a majority, since it is appropriate to be adorned before the guests.

והרוטב מותר – if there isn’t among the forbidden pieces in order to impart a flavor to the broth–juice and the sediment of boiled meat and the pieces and the Halakha in practice is that something forbidden that was mixed with something permitted, a species that is combined with something that is not its species, that one can establish it by taste, if it is priest’s due–heave offering that we combined with profane–unconsecrated produce, a Kohen should taste it. And if it is a forbidden thing, then a heathen professional baker should taste it. If he states that this mixture does not contain the taste of heave offering or the taste of something prohibited, everything is permitted, and the Rabbis believed the heathen professional baker, because it is his craft, he doesn’t lie so that he doesn’t lose his profession. And if there was a mixture of one species with something from the same species where it is not possible to establish the taste–flavor, or if it was one species with something from another species, and there was no Kohen present, or a heathen upon whom one can rely, if the prohibited [substance] is from fat and blood of animals that died of themselves (i.e., carrion) and torn animals, forbidden animals and reptiles, we estimate it with being [one-part] in sixty. If there are sixty [parts] of permitted [food] corresponding to the prohibited [part], it is all permitted, and if not, everything is prohibited. And similarly, the permitted fat of the sciatic nerve, we estimate it corresponding to the sixty [parts] of permissible [fat] but the udder that was cooked with the meat, we estimate it with sixty parts, and the udder is part of the number, because it’s prohibition is from the words of the Scribes; and an egg which has a chick [within] that was cooked with the rest of the permitted eggs, it requires sixty-one parts corresponding to it, but if the prohibited [part] is priest’s due–heave offering, Hallah and First-Fruits, if it is one species with material from the same species, or one species with material from another species, and there isn’t a Kohen or a heathen who can taste it, we estimate it with one-hundred [parts] of unconsecrated produce. But if it is fruit of trees of the first three years or mixed seats in the vineyard, we estimate it with two-hundred parts and all of these measures, we estimate with what is in the pot with the broth and the pieces and the spices and the sediments of boiled meat, and this is the smallest of the bowels at the rim–bottom of the pot, and what comes before us, we estimate, but we don’t estimate what the pot absorbed from that which is permitted, for even that which is prohibited is absorbed and reduced from the amount that was, for that which was permitted was absorbed, but that which was forbidden was not absorbed.

ואינו נוהג בטמאה – for if he ate the sciatic nerve of prohibited [meat], the one who states that there is the imparting of a flavor by the nerve–sinew is flogged because it is a ritually impure, and not because of the sinew–nerve, and the one who states that the sinew–nerves have no flavor, is exempt from everything, for a pure piece of wood is what the Torah obligates him, but one that is impure, is not practiced.

מבני יעקב נאסר – and yet that which is impure is permitted to them, until the Giving of the Torah.

אמרו לו – this Biblical verse that they warned him at Sinai it was stated at Sinai, but until Sinai, they were not warned about it.

אלא שנכתב במקומו – after it was stated at Sinai, when Moses came to arrange the Torah, he wrote this Biblical passage about the event, therefore, the children of Israel were warned afterwards that they should not eat the sciatic nerve [to known for which reason it was prohibited to them], but the Halakha is not according to Rabbi Yehuda.
