Question: What is a Sandal that they said?

Answer #1: It is anything that resembles a Sandal fish in the sea.

Answer #2 (R. Shimon ben Gamliel): It is anything that resembles an ox' tongue.

Our Rebbeyim voted about this. This is only if it has the form of a person.

Who are 'our Rebbeyim'? They are R. Yehudah ha'Nasi and his Beis Din.

In three places R. Yehudah ha'Nasi is called 'our Rebbeyim' - in Gitin, in oil and regarding a Sandal. A Sandal is what was taught here;

Oil is in what was taught there - Rebbi and his Beis Din permitted oil [of Nochrim, which a previous Beis Din forbade].

Gitin is what was taught there - [if her husband said] 'this is your Get [if I die] from this illness', or 'this is your Get after my death', it has no effect, and our Rebbeyim said, it is a Get. Who are 'our Rebbeyim'? They are R. Yehudah ha'Nasi and his Beis Din.

They called it the permissive Beis Din, for any Beis Din that permits three matters [that were forbidden] is called a permissive Beis Din.

They called it the permissive Beis Din, for any Beis Din that permits three matters [that were forbidden] is called a permissive Beis Din.

R. Yanai screamed [if you require the form of man] you are Metaher [many] Yoldos!

(R. Simon citing R. Yehoshua ben Levi): From the testimony of R. Chuniyah of Baras Chavran is this teaching (that Sandal is only if it has a human form. It is an individual's opinion; the Halachah does not follow it.)

(R. Ze'ira): If it is from the testimony of R. Chuniyah of Baras Chavran, R. Chaninah [properly] screamed 'you were Metaher Yoldos!'

Question: What is a Shilya that they said?

Answer #1: It is anything that resembles a warp thread, and its head is bloated like a lupine.

Answer #2: R. Shimon ben Gamliel says, it is anything that resembles the small intestines of chickens, and its head is bloated like a gizzard (the second stomach of a bird), and its interior is like a trumpet.

A Shilya is never less than a Tefach;

Question: Rav Yehudah sent to R. Lazar, and asked, if a Shilya left partially today and partially tomorrow [what is the law]?

Answer (R. Lazar): For Dam Tohar, we count from the first day. For Dam Tamei, we count from the second day (we are stringent about both, due to Safek).

(Rav Masniya): This is when a child did not leave with it, but if a child left with it, both for Dam Tohar and Dam Tamei, we count only from when the child left.

Question (R. Yosi ben Sha'ul, to Rebbi): May we attribute a Shilya to something that is not considered a child (e.g. the form of an animal - or, do we assume that there was a proper child with the Shilya)?

Answer (Rebbi): We do not attribute a Shilya to something that is not a child.

Question (R. Yosi ben Sha'ul): If a Shilya left tied to [a non-human form] that is not a child, what is the law? (May we attribute the Shilya to it?)

Answer (Rebbi): We do not teach something that cannot be (it is never tied to it).

Version #1 (R. Chanin citing Shmuel - Beraisa): We do not attribute the Shilya to something that is not a child. If it left tied to it, we attribute to it.

Question (Shmuel, to Rav's Talmidim): May we attribute a Shilya to Nefalim?

Answer (Rav's Talmidim): We attribute a Shilya to a child, and we attribute a Shilya to Nefalim.

Shmuel praised them, for they say like [Shmuel's] opinion.

Version #1 (R. Bun): R. Chanin citing Shmuel taught a Beraisa - we attribute the Shilya to a child, and we do not attribute a Shilya to Nefalim (if it is not tied to it), for [the Shilya] does not separate from [the fetus] until it is finished.
