**מַתְנִי׳** אֵלּוּ אֲסוּרִין, וְאוֹסְרִין בְּכׇל שֶׁהוּ: יֵין נֶסֶךְ, וַעֲבוֹדָה זָרָה, וְעוֹרוֹת לְבוּבִין,

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
**MISHNA:** **These** following items are themselves **forbidden, and any amount** of them **renders** other items with which they become mixed **forbidden: Wine** used for **a libation; and** objects of **idol worship; and hides** with a tear opposite the **heart,** indicating the idolatrous practice of sacrificing hearts of live animals.


###### Avodah Zarah 74a:2
[Avodah Zarah 74a:2](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Avodah%20Zarah/r/74a:2)

וְשׁוֹר הַנִּסְקָל, וְעֶגְלָה עֲרוּפָה,

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
**And** this *halakha* also applies to **an ox that** has been condemned to be **stoned** (see Exodus 21:28), from which it is prohibited to derive benefit even before its sentence is carried out; **and** it applies to **a heifer whose neck is broken** when a person is found killed in an area between two cities and the murderer is unknown (see Deuteronomy 21:1–9), which is likewise forbidden from the time it is taken down to the river to be killed. In these cases, if the animal becomes mixed in a herd of similar animals, all of the animals in the herd are forbidden.

וְצִיפּוֹרֵי מְצוֹרָע, וּשְׂעַר נָזִיר, וּפֶטֶר חֲמוֹר, וּבָשָׂר בְּחָלָב, וְשָׂעִיר הַמִּשְׁתַּלֵּחַ, וְחוּלִּין שֶׁנִּשְׁחֲטוּ בַּעֲזָרָה — הֲרֵי אֵלּוּ אֲסוּרִין וְאוֹסְרִין בְּכׇל שֶׁהוּא.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
**And** this *halakha* also applies to **birds** designated for the purification **of a leper** (Leviticus 14:1–6), **and the** shorn **hair of a nazirite** (Numbers 6:18), **and a firstborn donkey** (Exodus 13:13), **and meat** that was cooked **in milk** (Exodus 23:19), **and the scapegoat** of Yom Kippur (Leviticus 16:7–10), **and** the meat of **a non-sacred** animal **that was slaughtered in the** Temple **courtyard.** All of **these** are **forbidden** themselves, **and any amount** of them **renders** a mixture **forbidden.**

[Avodah Zarah 74a:4](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Avodah%20Zarah/r/74a:4)

**גְּמָ׳** תַּנָּא מַאי קָחָשֵׁיב? אִי דָּבָר שֶׁבְּמִנְיָן קָחָשֵׁיב, לִיתְנֵי נָמֵי חֲתִיכוֹת נְבֵילָה! אִי אִיסּוּרֵי הֲנָאָה קָא חָשֵׁיב, לִיתְנֵי נָמֵי חָמֵץ בְּפֶסַח! אָמַר רַבִּי חִיָּיא בַּר אַבָּא, וְאִיתֵּימָא רַבִּי יִצְחָק נַפָּחָא: הַאי תַּנָּא תַּרְתֵּי אִית לֵיהּ — דָּבָר שֶׁבְּמִנְיָן וְאִיסּוּרֵי הֲנָאָה.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
**GEMARA:** According to **what** criterion **does the *tanna*** who teaches this mishna **reckon** cases? **If he reckons** based on any **item that is counted,** i.e., any item that is significant enough to be considered individually, which therefore cannot be nullified in a mixture even in a very large majority of permitted items, **let him also teach** the case of significant **cuts of an** unslaughtered **animal carcass.** And **if he reckons** based on **items from which** deriving **benefit is prohibited, let him also teach** the case of **leavened bread on Passover. Rabbi Ḥiyya bar Abba said, and some say** it was **Rabbi Yitzḥak Nappaḥa** who said: **This *tanna* has two** criteria. He reckons based on any **item that is** both **counted and from which** deriving **benefit is prohibited.**


###### Avodah Zarah 74a:5
[Avodah Zarah 74a:5](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Avodah%20Zarah/r/74a:5)

וְלִיתְנֵי אֱגוֹזֵי פֶּרֶךְ וְרִימּוֹנֵי בָּדָן, דְּדָבָר שֶׁבְּמִנְיָן וְאִיסּוּרֵי הֲנָאָה הוּא!

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
The Gemara challenges: **But let** the *tanna* **teach** the cases of ***perekh* nuts,** a type of nut that has a brittle shell, **and Badan pomegranates,** pomegranates from Badan; **as** these fruits are considered significant, and when they grow during the first three years after the tree was planted [*orla*], they belong to the category of **items that are counted and from which** deriving **benefit is prohibited.**


###### Avodah Zarah 74a:6
[Avodah Zarah 74a:6](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Avodah%20Zarah/r/74a:6)

הָא תְּנָא לֵיהּ הָתָם: הָרָאוּי לְעׇרְלָה — עׇרְלָה, הָרָאוּי לְכִלְאֵי הַכֶּרֶם — כִּלְאֵי הַכֶּרֶם.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
The Gemara responds: The Mishna **taught that** case **there,** in tractate *Orla* (3:7), where *perekh* nuts and Badan pomegranates are listed among the forbidden items that cannot be nullified in a mixture, and it is stated with regard to such items: **Those** items **to which** the prohibition of ***orla* applies** render the entire mixture forbidden by imparting to it the status of ***orla*,** while **those to which** the prohibition of **diverse kinds** planted **in a vineyard applies** render the mixture forbidden by imparting to it the status of **diverse kinds** planted **in a vineyard.** Therefore, it is unnecessary to mention those cases here.


###### Avodah Zarah 74a:7
[Avodah Zarah 74a:7](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Avodah%20Zarah/r/74a:7)

וְלִיתְנֵי כִּכָּרוֹת שֶׁל בַּעַל הַבַּיִת לְעִנְיַן חָמֵץ בְּפֶסַח! מַאן שָׁמְעַתְּ דַּאֲמַר לַהּ? רַבִּי עֲקִיבָא, הָא תְּנָא לֵיהּ הָתָם: רַבִּי עֲקִיבָא מוֹסִיף אַף כִּכָּרוֹת שֶׁל בַּעַל הַבַּיִת.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
The Gemara suggests: **But let** the *tanna* **teach** the case of **loaves of a homeowner,** each of which is unique and significant, **with regard to** the prohibition against deriving benefit from **leavened bread on Passover.** The Gemara explains: **Whom did you hear who says that** such loaves are not nullified in a mixture? This is taught by **Rabbi Akiva,** and **he taught it there** in tractate *Orla* (3:7): **Rabbi Akiva adds** to the list **the loaves of a homeowner.**


###### Avodah Zarah 74a:8
[Avodah Zarah 74a:8](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Avodah%20Zarah/r/74a:8)

״הֲרֵי אֵלּוּ״ לְמַעוֹטֵי מַאי? לְמַעוֹטֵי דָּבָר שֶׁבְּמִנְיָן וְלָאו אִיסּוּרֵי הֲנָאָה, אִי נָמֵי לְמַעוֹטֵי אִיסּוּר הֲנָאָה וְלֹא דָּבָר שֶׁבְּמִנְיָן.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
At the end of the mishna here, the *tanna* reiterates the *halakha* stated at its beginning, saying: All of **these** are forbidden themselves, and any amount of them renders a mixture forbidden. The Gemara asks: The purpose of this reiteration is **to exclude what?** The Gemara answers: It serves **to exclude** any **item that is counted but from which** deriving **benefit is not prohibited, or to exclude items from which** deriving **benefit is prohibited but** that **are not counted.**


###### Avodah Zarah 74a:9
[Avodah Zarah 74a:9](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Avodah%20Zarah/r/74a:9)

**מַתְנִי׳** יֵין נֶסֶךְ שֶׁנָּפַל לַבּוֹר, כּוּלּוֹ אָסוּר בַּהֲנָאָה. רַבָּן שִׁמְעוֹן בֶּן גַּמְלִיאֵל אוֹמֵר: יִמָּכֵר כּוּלּוֹ לְגוֹי, חוּץ מִדְּמֵי יֵין נֶסֶךְ שֶׁבּוֹ.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
**MISHNA:** In the case of **wine** used for **a libation that fell into** a wine **cistern,** it is **prohibited** to derive **benefit** from **all of** the wine in the cistern, even if the volume of the wine used for a libation was tiny in comparison to the volume of the wine in the cistern. **Rabban Shimon ben Gamliel says: All of the** wine in the cistern **may be sold to a gentile,** and the money paid for it is permitted **except for the value of the wine** used for **a libation** that is included **in it.**


###### Avodah Zarah 74a:10
[Avodah Zarah 74a:10](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Avodah%20Zarah/r/74a:10)

**גְּמָ׳** אָמַר רַב: הֲלָכָה כְּרַבָּן שִׁמְעוֹן בֶּן גַּמְלִיאֵל חָבִית בְּחָבִיּוֹת, אֲבָל לֹא יַיִן בְּיַיִן. וּשְׁמוּאֵל אָמַר: אֲפִילּוּ יַיִן בְּיַיִן. וְכֵן אָמַר רַבָּה בַּר בַּר חָנָה אָמַר רַבִּי יוֹחָנָן: אֲפִילּוּ יַיִן בְּיַיִן. וְכֵן אָמַר רַבִּי שְׁמוּאֵל בַּר נַחְמָנִי אָמַר רַבִּי חֲנִינָא: אֲפִילּוּ יַיִן בְּיַיִן. וְכֵן אָמַר רַב נַחְמָן אָמַר רַבָּה בַּר אֲבוּהּ: אֲפִילּוּ יַיִן בְּיַיִן.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
**GEMARA:** **Rav says:** The ***halakha*** is **in accordance with** the opinion of **Rabban Shimon ben Gamliel** in a case where **a barrel** of wine used for a libation became intermingled **with barrels** of permitted wine, **but not** when the **wine** itself became mixed **with** permitted **wine. And Shmuel says: Even** when the **wine** itself became mixed **with** permitted **wine,** the *halakha* is in accordance with the opinion of Rabban Shimon ben Gamliel. **And likewise, Rabba bar bar Ḥana says** that **Rabbi Yoḥanan says: Even** when **wine** became mixed **with wine,** the *halakha* is in accordance with the opinion of Rabban Shimon ben Gamliel. **And likewise, Rabbi Shmuel bar Naḥmani says** that **Rabbi Ḥanina says: Even** when **wine** became mixed **with wine,** the *halakha* is in accordance with the opinion of Rabban Shimon ben Gamliel. **And likewise, Rav Naḥman says** that **Rabba bar Avuh says: Even** when **wine** became mixed **with wine,** the *halakha* is in accordance with the opinion of Rabban Shimon ben Gamliel.

[Avodah Zarah 74a:11](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Avodah%20Zarah/r/74a:11)

אָמַר רַב נַחְמָן: הֲלָכָה לְמַעֲשֶׂה, יֵין נֶסֶךְ יַיִן בְּיַיִן — אָסוּר, חָבִית בְּחָבִית — מוּתָּר, סְתָם יַיִן אֲפִילּוּ יַיִן בְּיַיִן — מוּתָּר.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
**Rav Naḥman says:** The **practical *halakha*** is that with regard to **wine** that was actually used for **a libation, wine** that became mixed **with wine** renders the entire mixture **forbidden,** but if **a barrel** became intermingled **with barrels** of permitted wine, it is **permitted** to sell the barrels in the manner described by Rabban Shimon ben Gamliel. With regard to **nondescript wine** of gentiles, which is forbidden due to the suspicion that it was used for a libation, **even** if **wine** became mixed **with wine,** it is **permitted** to sell the mixture in the manner described by Rabban Shimon ben Gamliel.
