and on Yom Tov

<<merely asking

<<he would ask

<<how

<<was

<<the incident.

<<Like this:

<<that a certain

<<man

<<who brought

<<a firstborn

<<before

<<Rava

<<in the afternoon

<<of the eve of

<<Yom Tov.

<<Was

<<sitting

<<Rava

<<and was

<<washing

<<his head.

<<He raised

<<his eyes

<<and saw

<<its blemish.

<<He said to him:

<<go

<<now,

<<and come

<<tomorrow.

When

<<he came

<<the next day,

<<he said:

<<how

<<was

<<the incident?

<<He said to him:

<<there were

<<scattered

<<barley grains

<<on this

<<side

<<of a thorn hedge,

<<and it was

<<on the other

<<side.

<<While

<<it wanted

<<to eat,

<<it put in

<<its head

<<and split

<<a thorn

<<its lip.

<<He said to him:

<<perhaps

<<you

<<caused it?

<<He said to him:

<<No.

And from where do you say

<<that causing [a blemish]

<<is prohibited?

<<As it is taught:

<<“A blemish

<<not

<<shall be

<<in it”;

<<I have only

<<that not

<<shall be

<<in it

<<a blemish;

<<from where

<<that not

<<he shall cause

<<it

<<by means of

<<something else —

<<that not

<<he bring

<<dough

<<or

<<a fig cake

<<and place [it]

<<on it

<<upon

<<the ear

<<so

<<that will come

<<the dog

<<and take it?

<<The verse states:

<<“any

<<blemish.”

<<It said

<<“blemish,”

<<and it said

<<“any

<<blemish.”

MISHNAH:

<<An animal

<<that died —

<<one may not

<<move it

<<from its place.

<<And there was an incident,

<<and they asked

<<Rabbi Tarfon

<<about it

<<and about

<<the challah

<<that became impure;

<<and he entered

<<the study hall

<<and asked,

<<and they said to him:

<<one may not

<<move them

<<from their place.

GEMARA:

<<Let us say

<<we learned

<<an unattributed Mishnah

<<not

<<like Rabbi Shimon?

<<(As we learned:)

<<Rabbi Shimon

<<says:

<<one may cut

<<gourds

<<before

<<the animal,

<<and the carcass

<<before

<<the dogs.

<<Rabbi Yehuda

<<says:

<<if

<<not

<<it was

<<a carcass

<<from the eve of Shabbos,

<<it is prohibited.

You may even say

<<Rabbi Shimon;

<<agrees

<<Rabbi Shimon

<<regarding animals

<<that died

<<that they are prohibited.

This works well

<<for Mar bar Ameimar

<<in the name

<<of Rava,

<<who said:

<<agreed

<<Rabbi Shimon

<<regarding animals

<<that died

<<that they are prohibited —

<<fine.

<<But

<<for Mar, son of Rav Yosef,

<<in the name

<<of Rava,

<<who said:

<<disagreed

<<Rabbi Shimon

<<even

<<regarding animals

<<that died,

<<that they are permitted,

<<what is there to say?

Explained it

<<Ze'iri

<<as an animal of

<<sanctified property.

<<It is precise

<<as well,

<<for it teaches:

<<about it

<<and about

<<the challah

<<that became impure.

<<Just as

<<challah

<<is sanctified,

<<so too

<<the animal

<<is sanctified.

But

<<the reason is

<<that it is sanctified;

<<but

<<unconsecrated

<<is permitted.

<<This works well

<<for Mar, son of Rav Yosef,

<<in the name

<<of Rava,

<<who said:

<<disagreed

<<Rabbi Shimon

<<even

<<regarding animals

<<that died

<<that they are permitted —

<<fine.

<<But

<<for Mar bar Ameimar

<<in the name

<<of Rava,

<<who said:

<<agreed

<<Rabbi Shimon

<<regarding animals

<<that died

<<that they are prohibited,

<<what is there to say?

Here, with what are we dealing?

<<With one in danger [of dying],

<<and it is the opinion of all.

MISHNAH:

<<one may not

<<count [shares]

<<for an animal

<<at the outset

<<on Yom Tov,

<<but

<<one may count [shares]

<<for it

<<on the eve of Yom Tov,

<<and slaughter

<<and divide [it]

<<among themselves.

GEMARA:

<<What is

<<“one may not

<<count”?

<<Rav Yehuda said in the name of Shmuel:

<<one may not

<<fix

<<prices

<<at the outset

<<for an animal

<<on Yom Tov.

<<How

<<does he do [it]?

<<Rav said:

<<he brings

<<two

<<animals

<<and stands them

<<one

<<beside

<<the other,

<<and says:

<<is this one

<<like that one?

This is also taught:

<<not

<<should say

<<a person

<<to his fellow:

<<I am

<<with you

<<for a sela;

<<I am

<<with you

<<for two;

<<but

<<he says

<<to him:

<<I am

<<with you

<<for a half

<<or a third

<<or a quarter.
