Chullin 10:1 - 10:2

הזרוע והלחיים. בארץ ובחוץ לארץ (the shoulder and the cheeks [and the stomach] – because it was needed to teach [in the Mishnah] with regard to unconsecrated products but not with that which is dedicated [to the Temple], he teaches all of them.

בפני הבית – at the time when the Temple existed.

ואתן אותם – (Leviticus 7:34: “and given them [to Aaron the priests and to his sons as their due from the Israelites for all time].”) – it is written regarding the shoulder and the cheeks. They are a a limitation: Dקואthe shoulder and the cheeks, yes; anything else, no.

כל הקדשים שקדם מדם קוע להקדישן – behold they are like one who dedicates–sanctifies wood and stones, and there isn’t in them an object which is consecrated as such.

ונפדו חייבין בככורות – if they gave birth after hey were redeemed, but not prior to redemption, for that which is consecrated for its value is superseded from the first born [animal] for holiness does not takes effect on something already possessing holiness.

וולדן וחלבן מותר לאחר פדיונן – but he dedicates–sanctifies [animals[ without physical blemish but if they became physically blemished and were redeemed, their offspring are forbidden as mentioned above. But whether regarding the first clause [of the Mishnah] where it is taught that is permitted or the latter clause [of the Mishnah] where it is taught that is forbidden, we are dealing with a case where the animal became pregnant prior to its redemption and that it gave birth after its redemption, and its milk also, when we sanctify [animals] without physical blemish and they were redeemed, he derives them that they are prohibited, as it is written regarding consecrated animals that are disqualified that were redeemed (Deuteronomy 12:15): “[But whatever you desire], you may slaughter and eat meat [in any of your settlements],’ you may slaughter, but not shear, you may eat, but not for your dogs, meat, but not milk–forbidden fat.

ואין עושין תמורה – [and you don’t make an exchange of one sacrificial animal for another] even prior to their redemption. [An animal] that is good initially one can make an exchange of one sacrificial animal for another, and even I it becomes bad after one has sanctified it, but an animal that is initially bad, one does not do an exchange of one sacrificial animal for another.

ואם מתו יפדו – and even though they ae not appropriate other than for dogs and we hold that we don’t redeem Holy Things to feed them to dogs. These are like mere wood and they do not remove the object which is consecrated which is irredeemable.

חוץ מן הבכור והמעשר – and even though their physical blemishes preceded their dedication–sanctification, complete holiness takes effect for all their things, urt they are not fit to be sacrificed, for the All-Merciful assigned the firstborn in the womb, and it makes no difference whether it is pure or whether there is a physical defect, it is holy. He pure animal is offered up, but the one with a physical defect, the Kohen consumes with its defect, and the tithing of cattle is also written concerning it (Leviticus 27:32-33): “[All tithes of the herd or flock – of all that passes under the shepherd’s staff,] every thenty one -shalll be holy to the LOD. He must not look out for good as against bad, [or make substitution for it].” “Good” is an unblemished bull; bad is a bull with a physical defect.

מום עובר קודם לשהקדישו – a passing physical defect is like he lacks it.

פטורים מן הבכורה – as it is written regarding consecrated animals that are disqualified that were redeemed (Deuteronomy 12:15): “ [The unclean and the clean alike may partake of it,] as of the gazelle and the deer.” Just as the gazelle and the deer are exempt from the law appertaining to first-born animals, because it is written (Deuteronomy 15:19): }You shall.consecrate to the LORD your God all male firstlings that are born in your herd and in your flock,” even consecrated animals that are disqualified that were redeemed even if they were born after they were redeemed, they are exemot from the law appertaining to the first-born.

המתנות – the shoulder, the cheeks and the stomach.

וולדן וחלבן – we are speaking of when it became pregnant before its redemption and gave birth after its redemption, as was explained above. If it became pregnant and gave birth after its redemption, its offspring is a deer and a ram. But if it did not give birth prior to its redemption, even if its physical defect preceded its dedication–sanctification, also, its offspring are forbidden.

והשוחטן בחוץ חייב – and even though they are not worthy for the entrance to the Tent of Meeting because they have physical defects, and it is taught in the Mishnah (actually a Baraita, Tractate Yoma 63b and Tractate Temurah 6b): That which is worthy for the entrance to the Tent of Meeting, we are liable for [if slaughtered] outside [the Temple courtyard], and that which is not worthy inside, we are not liable for [if slaughtered] outside, Our Mishnah establishes it as a veiled or withered spot in the eye–cataract and that it is [the opinion of] Rabbi Akiva who stated (see Tractate Zevakhim, Chapter 9, Mishnah 3) that [regarding animals that are blemished], if they have gone up, they should not go down; therefore, for since they are inside, they do not go down, and we are liable for them outside if he slaughtered them prior to their redemption.

ועושין תמורה – prior to their redemption, as it is written (Leviticus 27:10): “[One may not exchange or substitute another for it,] either good for bad, or bad for good; [if one does substitute one animal for another, the thing vowed and its substitute shall both be holy].”

ואם מתו – from their own accord.

יקברו – and we don’t redeem the Holy Things to feed them to the dogs.
