Why does the Torah insert the word "Sei" both by "Kevasim" and by "Izim"?

1.

Rashi (in Bo, Sh'mos, 12:5): We learn from the fact that the Torah writes "ve'Sei Izim" that the term "Seh" also applies to goats.

2.

Targum Yonasan: To preclude the children of Tamei species, and children of a crossbreed of a Tahor species with a Tamei one.

2)

Why does the Torah write "Sei Kesavim" (plural)?

1.

B?choros, 7a: To teach us that it is only Kasher if its father and mother are both of a Tahor species ? either a lamb or a goat. Refer to 14:4:1:1.
