## Chullin Daf 46b

###### Chullin 46b:1
[Chullin 46b:1](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Chullin/r/46b:1)

כַּאֲהִינָא סוּמָּקָא – כְּשֵׁרָה. אִינְּקִיב תַּתָּאָה וְלָא אִינְּקִיב עִילָּאָה – מַגֵּין אוֹ לָא מַגֵּין?

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
so that it looks **like a red date,** is **kosher;** all the more so is that the case if it was only perforated. But if **the inner** membrane **was perforated but the outer** membrane **was not perforated,** does the outer membrane **protect** the lung? **Or** does it **not protect** it, in which case the animal is a *tereifa*?


###### Chullin 46b:2
[Chullin 46b:2](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Chullin/r/46b:2)

פְּלִיגִי בַּהּ רַב אַחָא וְרָבִינָא, חַד אָמַר: לָא מַגֵּין, וְחַד אָמַר: מַגֵּין. וְהִלְכְתָא מַגֵּין, כִּדְרַב יוֹסֵף, דְּאָמַר רַב יוֹסֵף: הַאי רֵיאָה דְּאָוְושָׁא, אִי יָדְעִינַן הֵיכָא אָוְושָׁא – מוֹתְבִינַן עֲלַהּ גַּדְפָּא אוֹ רוּקָּא אוֹ גִילָא, אִי מְבַצְבְּצָא – טְרֵפָה, וְאִי לָא – כְּשֵׁרָה. וְאִי לָא יָדְעִינַן הֵיכָא אָוְושָׁא – מַיְיתִינַן מְשִׁיכְלְתָא דְּמַיָּא פָּשׁוֹרֵי וּמוֹתְבִינַן לַהּ בְּגַוַּהּ.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
**Rav Aḥa and Ravina disagree with regard to** this question. **One says:** It **does not protect** the lung; **and one says:** It **protects** the lung. **And the *halakha* is** that it **protects** the lung, **in accordance with** the statement **of Rav Yosef. As Rav Yosef says:** With regard to **this lung that emits a sound** when inflated, **if we know** from **where it emits a sound, we set a feather, or saliva, or straw on** that point. **If** the saliva **bubbles** when the lung is inflated, the animal is **a *tereifa*,** since this proves that the lung is perforated through both membranes. **And if not,** the animal is **kosher. And if we do not know** from **where it emits a sound, we bring a basin of tepid water and set** the lung **inside it.**


###### Chullin 46b:3
[Chullin 46b:3](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Chullin/r/46b:3)

בְּחַמִּימֵי לָא – דְּכָוְוצִי, בְּקָרִירֵי לָא – דִּמְטָרְשִׁי, אֶלָּא מוֹתְבִינַן בְּפָשׁוֹרֵי וְנָפְחִינַן לַהּ. אִי מְבַצְבְּצָא – טְרֵפָה, וְאִי לָא – כְּשֵׁרָה. תַּתָּאָה אִינְּקִיב, עִילָּאָה לָא אִינְּקִיב, וְהַאי דְּאָוְושָׁא – זִיקָא דְּבֵינֵי בֵּינֵי הוּא.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
One **cannot** place it **in hot water, as it causes** the lung **to contract,** closing the perforation. And one **cannot** place it **in cold water, as it hardens** the lung and may cause it to crack. **Rather, we set it in tepid water and inflate it. If** the water **bubbles,** the animal is **a *tereifa*. And if not,** the animal is **kosher,** since it is apparent that only **the inner** membrane **is perforated** and **the outer** membrane **is not perforated, and the** fact **that it emits a sound is** due to **the air** moving in the space **between** the two membranes. Evidently, Rav Yosef holds that if only the inner membrane is perforated, the animal is kosher.


###### Chullin 46b:4
[Chullin 46b:4](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Chullin/r/46b:4)

(אֲהִינֵי סוּמָּקָא דִּיבַשׁ גִּילְדֵי, סִימָן).

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
§ The Gemara provides **a mnemonic** to remember the following statements of Rava with regard to the lung: **Dates, red, that dried, scabbed.**


###### Chullin 46b:5
[Chullin 46b:5](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Chullin/r/46b:5)

גּוּפָא, אָמַר רָבָא: הַאי רֵיאָה דְּאִיגְּלִיד כַּאֲהִינָא סוּמָּקָא – כְּשֵׁרָה. וְאָמַר רָבָא: רֵיאָה שֶׁהֶאֱדִימָה מִקְצָתָהּ – כְּשֵׁרָה, כּוּלָּהּ – טְרֵפָה.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
The Gemara turns to **the** matter **itself** mentioned above: **Rava says: This** animal with **a lung whose** outer **membrane was removed** so that it looks **like a red date** is **kosher. And Rava says:** With regard to **a lung** whose outer membrane **reddened** due to bleeding of the lung, if only **part of it** turned red, then the animal is **kosher,** but if **all of it** turned red, the animal is **a *tereifa*.**


###### Chullin 46b:6
[Chullin 46b:6](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Chullin/r/46b:6)

אֲמַר לֵיהּ רָבִינָא לְרָבָא: מִקְצָתָהּ מַאי טַעְמָא? דְּהָדְרָא בָּרְיָא, כּוּלָּהּ נָמֵי הָדְרָא בָּרְיָא! מִי לָא תַּנְיָא: וּשְׁאָר שְׁקָצִים וּרְמָשִׂים, עַד שֶׁיֵּצֵא מֵהֶם דָּם.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
**Ravina said to Rava: What is the reason** that the animal is kosher if only **part of** the outer membrane reddened? Presumably, it is **because** the animal eventually **recovers** from the wound. But even if **all of it** turned red **as well,** the animal **recovers. Isn’t it taught** in a *baraita*: If one injures one of the eight impure creeping creatures mentioned in the Torah, one is liable for desecrating Shabbat; **but** if one injures **other repugnant creatures and creeping animals,** one is not liable **until blood leaves their** body as a result of the injury, even if their skin reddens as a result of internal bleeding?


###### Chullin 46b:7
[Chullin 46b:7](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Chullin/r/46b:7)

וְכִי תֵּימָא: לִשְׁמוֹנָה שְׁרָצִים מְדַמֵּינַן לַהּ, דְּתַנְיָא: נִצְרַר הַדָּם, אַף עַל פִּי שֶׁלֹּא יָצָא. אִי הָכִי, אֲפִילּוּ מִקְצָתָהּ נָמֵי! אֶלָּא, לָא שְׁנָא.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
**And if you would say: We compare** the lung **to** one of the **eight creeping creatures, as it is taught** in a *baraita*: If **the blood collected** under the skin of one of the eight creeping creatures, **even if it did not leave** the body, one is liable for desecrating Shabbat, because the blood will not be reabsorbed into the body and the wound is permanent; that is difficult: **If so,** then there is still no reason to distinguish between part of the lung and all of it, and **even** if only **part of** the lung turned red, the animal should be rendered a *tereifa* **as well,** because the blood will not be reabsorbed into the body. **Rather, there is no difference** between the reddening of part or all of the lung.


###### Chullin 46b:8
[Chullin 46b:8](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Chullin/r/46b:8)

וְאָמַר רָבָא: רֵיאָה שֶׁיָּבְשָׁה מִקְצָתָהּ – טְרֵפָה. וְכַמָּה? אָמַר רַב פַּפִּי מִשְּׁמֵיהּ דְּרָבָא: כְּדַי שֶׁתִּפָּרֵךְ בְּצִפּוֹרֶן.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
**And Rava says:** If **part of the lung was dried,** the animal is **a *tereifa*. And how much** must the lung be dried so as to render the animal a *tereifa*? **Rav Pappi says in the name of Rava:** It must be **so** dry **that it can be crumbled with a fingernail.**


###### Chullin 46b:9
[Chullin 46b:9](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Chullin/r/46b:9)

כְּמַאן, כְּרַבִּי יוֹסֵי בֶּן הַמְשׁוּלָּם? דְּתַנְיָא: אֵיזוֹ הִיא יְבֵשָׁה – שֶׁאִם תִּינָּקֵב וְאֵינָהּ מוֹצִיאָה טִיפַּת דָּם; רַבִּי יוֹסֵי בֶּן הַמְשׁוּלָּם אוֹמֵר: יְבֵשָׁה כְּדֵי שֶׁתְּהֵא נִפְרֶכֶת בְּצִפּוֹרֶן.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
The Gemara asks: **In accordance with whose** opinion is this statement? Is it **in accordance with** the opinion of **Rabbi Yosei ben HaMeshullam? As it is taught** in a mishna (*Bekhorot* 37a): If a kosher firstborn animal has a blemish, such as a dried ear, it may be slaughtered outside the Temple. **What is a dried** ear? It is any ear **that if perforated does not bleed a drop. Rabbi Yosei ben HaMeshullam says:** It must be **so dry that it can be crumbled with a fingernail.**


###### Chullin 46b:10
[Chullin 46b:10](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Chullin/r/46b:10)

אֲפִילּוּ תֵּימָא רַבָּנַן, גַּבֵּי אוֹזֶן בְּכוֹר דְּקָא שָׁלֵיט בֵּיהּ זִיקָא – לָא הָדְרָא בָּרְיָא, אֲבָל רֵיאָה דְּלָא קָא שָׁלֵיט בַּהּ אַוֵּירָא – הָדְרָא בָּרְיָא. וְאָמַר רָבָא: הַאי רֵיאָה דְּקָיְימָא גִּילְדֵּי גִּילְדֵּי, אוּכָּמֵי אוּכָּמֵי, חֶזְוָותָא חֶזְוָותָא – כְּשֵׁרָה.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
The Gemara responds: **You** may **even say** that the statement is in accordance with the opinion of the **Rabbis. With regard to the ear of a firstborn, which is exposed to the wind,** the Rabbis hold that the animal **would not recover** if it is so dry that it does not bleed. **But** with regard to the **lung, which is not exposed to the wind,** the animal **would recover** unless it is so dry that it can be crumbled with a fingernail. **And Rava says: This lung that stands** before us **covered** in **scabs,** or covered in **black** marks, or covered in sores with different **appearances,** is nevertheless **kosher.**


###### Chullin 46b:11
[Chullin 46b:11](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Chullin/r/46b:11)

אָמַר אַמֵּימָר מִשְּׁמֵיהּ דְּרָבָא: אֵין מַקִּיפִין בְּבוּעֵי.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
§ **Ameimar says in the name of Rava: One may not compare cysts** of the lungs. If one finds a perforated cyst on the lung, but does not know whether it was perforated before or after slaughter, he may not perform a test by perforating another cyst in order to compare their appearances.


###### Chullin 46b:12
[Chullin 46b:12](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Chullin/r/46b:12)

וְאָמַר רָבָא: הָנֵי תַּרְתֵּי אוּנֵּי דִּסְרִיכָן לַהֲדָדֵי, לֵית לְהוּ בְּדִיקָה. וְלָא אֲמַרַן אֶלָּא שֶׁלֹּא כְּסִדְרָן, אֲבָל כְּסִדְרָן – הַיְינוּ רְבִיתַיְיהוּ.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
**And Rava says: These two lobes** of the lung **that adhere to one another** by thin strands **have no** need for **inspection,** since it is certain that these adhesions arose due to a perforation of the lung, rendering the animal a *tereifa*. The Gemara adds: **And we said** this *halakha* **only** with regard to adhesions **that are out of order,** where a lobe adhered to a non-adjacent lobe. **But** with regard to adhesions that are **in order, that is their** normal manner of **growth,** and the animal is kosher.
