(a)When the Mishnah says that whatever renders Asur on the Mizbe'ach does so 'Kol she'Hein', it means - it is not Bateil even in a thousand.

(b)They render the other animals Asur - provided they are not discernable.

(c)An animal that is a T'reifah is the sole exception - since it one can always tell which animal is the one with the T'reifus.

(d)The case of a T'reifah that is not discernable - is one where an animal that was clawed by a lion or a wolf is mixed up among animals that were wounded by a thorn (which does not render the animal a T'reifah [See also Tosfos Yom Tov]).

2)

(a)Based on the Pasuk in No'ach 'ki Hishchis Kol Basar es Darko al ha'Aretz" and in Devarim "Pen Tashchisun va'Asisem lachem Pesel", the two areas of Isur (respectively) to which 'Hashchasah' always refer to are - Avodah-Zarah and Ervah.

(b)That is why the Tana inserts in his list - Rove'a and Nirva, Muktzah and Ne'evad.

(c)The Mishnah sees fit to insert 'Rove'a' and 'Nirva', despite the fact that they are Chayav S'kilah - because he is speaking where the animal was seen only by one witness or by the owner (See Tosfos Yom Tov) himself, in which case it is not Chayav Si'kilah but nevertheless forbidden.

(d)The difference between 'Muktzah' and "Ne'evad' is that - whereas the latter has actually been worshipped, the latter has only been designated for worship.

3)

(a)A 'Muktzah' itself is only Asur - if the priests perform a positive act with it, such as working with it if it is a cow and shearing it if it is a sheep.

(b)An animal that has been worshipped is not Asur be'Hana'ah based on the principle - that 'Live animals do not become forbidden to a Hedyot if they are worshipped', only to go on the Mizbe'ach.

4)

(a)The next two items on the Tana's list are Esnan and M'chir. Based on the Pasuk in ki Seitzei ...

1. ... 'Esnan' - is the money that one receives from a prostitute for one's services.

2. ... 'M'chir - is the proceeds from the sale of a dog.

(b)The last three items on the Tana's list are 'Kil'ayim, T'reifah and Yotzei Dofen (an animal born by caesarian section [See Tosfos Yom Tov])'. A 'Kil'ayim' is - the V'lad of a he-goat and a ewe.

(c)From the Pasuk in Bechukosai (in connection with Ma'aser Beheimah) "Kol asher Ya'avor Tachas ha'Sheivet", we learn - a T'reifah (which cannot pass under the stick) ...

(d)... and we learn Hekdesh from Ma'aser Beheimah.

(e)And from the Pasuk in Emor (in connection with Korbanos) "Shor ... ki Yivaled" - we learn Yotzei Dofen.

5)

(a)The Mishnah - permits the ornaments that are on a Muktzah but - prohibits those that are on a Ne'evad.

(b)When the Tana says (with regard to Ne'evad) 'Hu u'Mah she'alav Asur' - the animal itself is only forbidden to go on the Mizbe'ach, whereas the ornaments - are Asur be'Hana'ah.

6)

(a)To turn a lamb into an Esnan, one must one say to the Zonah - 'Here is a lamb as remuneration!'

(b)If he then sends her a hundred animals - all hundred are considered 'Esnan'.

7)

(a)The lamb that one gives to a regular Yisre'elis is not considered an Esnan - since such a relationship does not render her Asur to a Kohen (which is the definition of a Zonah).

(b)The definition of a Zonah is - Chayvei La'avin (and certainly Chayvei Kareis and Misos Beis-Din).

(c)If ...

1. ... a man gives an Esnan to a Nochris (See Tosfos Yom Tov) or ...

2. ... to a man - it is also considered an Esnan, but not if ...

3. ... a woman gives an Esnan to a man.

8)

(a)According to Rebbi, if Reuven gives Shimon a lamb for his Shifchah Cana'anis to stay overnight with his Eved, it is not an Esnan. The Chachamim say - that it is.

(b)They are talking about - an Eved Ivri.

(c)The Chachamim consider it an Esnan because the transaction is forbidden - since it speaks in a case where the Eved did not have a wife and children (See Tosfos Yom Tov).

(d)Rebbi's reason is either because he holds that an Eved Ivri is permitted to live with a Shifchah Cana'anis even if he has no wife and children or because - even if he is forbidden, because there are cases of Eved Ivri who are permitted ('Hutar mi'Chelalo be'Shifchah Cana'anis').

(e)The Halachah is - like the Chachamim.

9)

(a)For a lamb to become a M'chir Kelev, a per must say - 'Hey l'cha T'le tachas Kelev Zeh'.

(b)In a case where two partners divide a batch of animals, where one takes ten sheep and the other, nine sheep and a dog - the Tana rules that all those that are together with the dog are permitted, whereas those that the other partner receives are forbidden.

(c)It will not suffice to forbid one sheep corresponding to the one dog (See Tosfos Yom Tov DH 'she'ke'Neged ha'Kelev Asurim') - because it speaks where none of the sheep in the other set corresponds in price to the dog.

(d)Given that the sheep in the other set are worth one Dinar each, the case is - where the sheep that are together with it are each worth a Dinar minus a Ma'ah, whereas the dog is worth one Dinar and nine Ma'os (so that a bit of the value of the dog lies in each of the ten sheep in the other set).

10)

(a)When, based on the word "Sheneihem" (in the Pasuk in ki Seitzei, in connection with Esnan Zonah and M'chir Kelev, "ki To'avas Hash-m Elokecha Gam Sheneihem") the Tana says 'Shenayim, ve'Lo Arba'ah', he means - that Esnan Kelev (See Tosfos Yom Tov) and M'chir Zonah are not included in the Isur.

(b)From the suffix "Hen" in the same word, he learns - that the children of an Esnan and of a M'chir Kelev are not included either.

11)

(a)The Mishnah rules that if a man gives the prostitute ...

1. ... money with which to purchase a Korban - it is not considered an Esnan, but if he gives her ...

2. ... wine, oil or flour for a Minchah - it is ...

(b)... because the former is not fit to go on the Mizbe'ach, whereas the latter is.

(c)If he gives her wheat, olives or grapes - it is not an Esnan.

(d)The Tana learns this from the suffix "Hen" (in the word "Sheneihem" that we quoted in the previous question) - which implies "Hein", 've'Lo Shinuyeihen' "Hein" 've'Lo V'ladoseihen'.

12)

(a)If he gives her a Hekdesh animal - it is not an Esnan.

(b)An example of this is - if he offers her a portion of his Korban Pesach in exchange for her services.

(c)We might have thought that it is an Esnan - because, since he has the authority to appoint others to join in the Korban, it is considered his (See Tosfos Yom Tov).

(d)We learn the previous ruling from the words "le'Chol Neder" (written in connection with Esnan), from which we preclude an animal that has already been designated as a Korban.

13)

(a)The Tana adds that Esnan does takes effect on birds of Chulin. We might have thought that it does not - 'Kal va'Chomer from Mukdashin, which are subject to Tamus and Zachrus (which birds are not).

(b)We learn from the Pasuk in Emor "Tamim Zachar ba'Bakar u'va'Tzon" - that whereas cattle and sheep are subject to Tamus and Zachrus, birds are not.

(c)We therefore learn from the words "le'*Chol* Neder" (written is Ki Seitzei in connection with Esnan and M'chir) - that birds are subject to Esnan.

14)

(a)The Mishnah rules that the V'lados of animals that are Pasul - may be brought on the Mizbe'ach.

(b)The case is - a Chulin animal that became pregnant after having been raped.

(c)Rebbi Eliezer forbids the V'lad of a T'reifah to be brought on the Mizbe'ach. He concedes however that it may be eaten - since it does develop from the body of its mother.

15)

(a)The Chachamim permit the V'lad of a T'reifah - to be brought on the Mizbe'ach.

(b)The Machlokes between Rebbi Eliezer and the Chachamim, assuming that a T'reifah ...

1. ... can give birth, and the V'lad was conceived after the mother became a T'reifah is - whether 'Zeh ve'Zeh Gorem' is permitted (the Chachamim) or not (Rebbi Eliezer).

2. ... cannot give birth, in which case it must have conceived before the mother became a T'reifah, is - whether 'Ubar Yerech Imo Hu' (Rebbi Eliezer) or not (the Chachamim).

(c)The Halachah is - like the Chachamim.

16)

(a)Rebbi Chanina ben Antignos rules that a Kasher animal that suckled from a T'reifah - may not go on the Mizbe'ach for the next twenty-four hours ...

(b)... since it can subsist on what it fed without any other food, and it takes twenty-four hours for that milk to digest.

(c)He concedes that after twenty-four hours, the Isur falls away - Kol va'Chomer from the Heter of bringing on the Mizbe'ach an animal that was fed on oats of Avodah-Zarah (See Tosfos Yom Tov).

(d)The Chachamim disagree with Rebbi Chanina ben Antignos' ruling, and the Halachah is - like them.

17)

(a)One cannot redeem a Kodshim animal that became a T'reifah - on account of the principle 'Ein Podin es ha'Kodshim le'Ha'achilan li'Kelavim'.

(b)In the Pasuk in Re'ei (in connection with P'sulei ha'Mukdashin) "Tizbach ve'Achalta Basar" we Darshen "Tizbach", 've'Lo Gizah, "Basar", 've'Lo Chalav' and "ve'Achalta" - 've'Lo li'Kelavecha'.
