## Chullin Daf 62a

###### Chullin 62a:1
[Chullin 62a:1](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Chullin/r/62a:1)

הָיָה בָּקִי בָּהֶן וּבִשְׁמוֹתֵיהֶן – עוֹף הַבָּא בְּסִימָן אֶחָד טָהוֹר, לֹא הָיָה בָּקִי בָּהֶן וּבִשְׁמוֹתֵיהֶן – בְּסִימָן אֶחָד טָמֵא, בִּשְׁנֵי סִימָנִין טָהוֹר, וְהוּא שֶׁיַּכִּיר עוֹרֵב.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
If **one is familiar with** the non-kosher birds **and their names,** any **bird that comes** before him **with** only **one sign is kosher,** since he can be sure that it is not the *peres* or *ozniyya*, which have only one sign. If **he is not familiar with them and their names,** any bird that he finds **with one sign is non-kosher,** since it may be the *peres* or *ozniyya*. But if he finds a bird **with** exactly **two signs,** it is **kosher, provided that he** can **recognize a crow,** since the crow is the only non-kosher bird with exactly two signs.


###### Chullin 62a:2
[Chullin 62a:2](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Chullin/r/62a:2)

עוֹרֵב וְתוּ לָא? וְהָתַנְיָא: ״עוֹרֵב״ – זֶה עוֹרֵב, ״לְמִינוֹ״ – רַבִּי אֱלִיעֶזֶר אוֹמֵר: לְהָבִיא אֶת הַזַּרְזִיר. אָמְרוּ לוֹ לְרַבִּי אֱלִיעֶזֶר: וַהֲלֹא אַנְשֵׁי כְּפַר תְּמַרְתָּא שֶׁבִּיהוּדָה הָיוּ אוֹכְלִים אוֹתָן מִפְּנֵי שֶׁיֵּשׁ לָהֶן זֶפֶק! אָמַר לָהֶם: אַף הֵן עֲתִידִין לִיתֵּן אֶת הַדִּין.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
The Gemara asks: Must he recognize only the **crow and nothing more? But isn’t it taught** in a *baraita*: The verse states: “Every *orev* after its kinds” (Leviticus 11:15). With regard to the ***orev*, this is the** well-known **crow;** as for the phrase **“after its kinds,” Rabbi Eliezer says:** It is written **to include the *zarzir*,** another type of crow, to teach that it is non-kosher. The Sages **said to Rabbi Eliezer: But wouldn’t the people of Kefar Temarta in Judea eat** the *zarzir*, **because it has a crop?** Rabbi Eliezer **said to them: They too will be judged in the future** for their transgression.


###### Chullin 62a:3
[Chullin 62a:3](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Chullin/r/62a:3)

דָּבָר אַחֵר: ״לְמִינֵהוּ״ לְהָבִיא סְנוּנִית לְבָנָה, דִּבְרֵי רַבִּי אֱלִיעֶזֶר. אָמְרוּ לוֹ: וַהֲלֹא אַנְשֵׁי גָּלִיל הָעֶלְיוֹן אוֹכְלִים אוֹתוֹ, מִפְּנֵי שֶׁקֻּרְקְבָנוֹ נִקְלָף! אָמַר לָהֶם: אַף הֵן עֲתִידִין לִיתֵּן אֶת הַדִּין. אֶלָּא עוֹרֵב וְכׇל מִין עוֹרֵב.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
**Alternatively,** the phrase **“after its kinds”** is written **to include** the **white *senunit*** and teach that it is non-kosher; this is **the statement of Rabbi Eliezer.** The Rabbis **said to him: But don’t the people of the upper Galilee eat it, because its gizzard can be peeled?** Rabbi Eliezer **said to them: They too will be judged in the future** for their transgression. In any event, the *baraita* indicates that other non-kosher birds exist that have two signs, like the crow. The Gemara responds: **Rather,** Rav Naḥman must have meant that one must be able to recognize the well-known **crow and all** other **species of crow.**

אָמַר אַמֵּימָר: הִלְכְתָא, עוֹף הַבָּא בְּסִימָן אֶחָד – טָהוֹר, וְהוּא דְּלָא דָּרֵיס. אֲמַר לֵיהּ רַב אָשֵׁי לְאַמֵּימָר: הָא דְּרַב נַחְמָן מַאי? אֲמַר לֵיהּ: לָא שְׁמִיעַ לִי, כְּלוֹמַר לָא סְבִירָא לִי. מַאי אִיכָּא? מִשּׁוּם פֶּרֶס וְעׇזְנִיָּה? לֵיתַנְהוּ בַּיִּשּׁוּב.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
**Ameimar said: The *halakha*** is: Any **bird that comes** before a person **with one sign is kosher, provided that it does not claw** its food. **Rav Ashi said to Ameimar: What** about **that which Rav Naḥman** said, that if one finds a bird with exactly one sign, he may eat it only if he can identify all the non-kosher birds in the Torah, to be sure that it is not one of them? Ameimar **said to him: I did not hear** this statement; **that is to say: I do not hold** accordingly. **What** concern **is there?** Is one concerned **because** of **the *peres* and *ozniyya*,** which have only one sign? **They are not** found **in settled areas,** and one need not be concerned about them.


###### Chullin 62a:5
[Chullin 62a:5](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Chullin/r/62a:5)

אָמַר רַב יְהוּדָה: עוֹף הַמְסָרֵט – כָּשֵׁר לְטׇהֳרַת מְצוֹרָע, וְזוֹ הִיא סְנוּנִית לְבָנָה שֶׁנֶּחְלְקוּ בָּהּ רַבִּי אֱלִיעֶזֶר וַחֲכָמִים.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
§ **Rav Yehuda says:** The bird known as **the scratching bird is fit for** use in **the purification of a leper,** i.e., it is kosher. Only kosher birds are fit for this rite, as the verse states: “Then shall the priest command to take for him that is to be purified two living pure birds” (Leviticus 14:4). **And this is the white *senunit* about which Rabbi Eliezer and the Rabbis disagreed** in the *baraita*.

אָמַר אַמֵּימָר: בְּחִיוָּרָא כְּרֵסַהּ – כּוּלֵּי עָלְמָא לָא פְּלִיגִי דְּשַׁרְיָא, כִּי פְּלִיגִי – בְּדִירוּקָּא כְּרֵסַהּ, רַבִּי אֱלִיעֶזֶר אָסַר וְרַבָּנַן שָׁרוּ, וְהִלְכְתָא כְּרַבִּי אֱלִיעֶזֶר.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
**Ameimar said:** There are two kinds of white *senunit*. **With regard to** the *senunit* **with a white belly, everyone agrees that it is permitted** for consumption. **They disagree when** discussing the kind **with a yellow belly. Rabbi Eliezer prohibits it, and the Rabbis permit it. And the *halakha*** is **in accordance with** the opinion of **Rabbi Eliezer.**

מָר זוּטְרָא מַתְנֵי הָכִי: בְּדִירוּקָּא כְּרֵסַהּ, כּוּלֵּי עָלְמָא לָא פְּלִיגִי דַּאֲסִיר. כִּי פְּלִיגִי בִּדְחִיוָּרָא כְּרֵסַהּ, רַבִּי אֱלִיעֶזֶר אָסַר וְרַבָּנַן שָׁרוּ, וְהִלְכְתָא כְּרַבָּנַן דְּשָׁרוּ.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
**Mar Zutra teaches** the statement of Ameimar in **this** manner: **With regard to** the *senunit* **with a yellow belly, everyone agrees that it is prohibited. They disagree when** discussing the kind **with a white belly. Rabbi Eliezer deems** it **prohibited, and the Rabbis deem** it **permitted. And the *halakha*** is **in accordance with** the opinion of **the Rabbis, who deem** it **permitted.**

בִּשְׁלָמָא לְמַאן דְּאָמַר בְּחִיוָּרָא כְּרֵסַהּ פְּלִיגִי – הַיְינוּ דְּקָתָנֵי ״זוֹ הִיא סְנוּנִית לְבָנָה״, אֶלָּא לְמַאן דְּאָמַר בְּדִירוּקָּא פְּלִיגִי, מַאי ״זוֹ הִיא סְנוּנִית לְבָנָה״? לְאַפּוֹקֵי דְּבָתֵּי דְּאוּכַּמְתִּי.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
The Gemara asks: **Granted, according to the one who says** that **they disagree with regard to** the kind **with a white belly, this** explanation is consistent with **that which** Rav Yehuda **teaches: This is the white *senunit*** about which Rabbi Eliezer and the Rabbis disagreed. **But according to the one who says** that **they disagree with regard to** the kind **with a yellow** belly, **what** is the meaning of the phrase: **This is the white *senunit*?** The Gemara responds: The phrase: White *senunit*, is used only **to exclude** the **house** *senunit*, **which is black.**

אָמַר רַחֲבָה, אָמַר רַבִּי יְהוּדָה: תָּסִיל פָּסוּל מִשּׁוּם תּוֹרִין, וְכָשֵׁר מִשּׁוּם בְּנֵי יוֹנָה, דָּאצִיפִי וְתוֹרִין שֶׁל רְחָבָה כְּשֵׁרִין מִשּׁוּם תּוֹרִין, וּפְסוּלִין מִשּׁוּם בְּנֵי יוֹנָה. מֵתִיב רַב דָּנִיאֵל בַּר רַב קַטִּינָא: כָּל הָעוֹפוֹת

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
§ **Raḥava says** that **Rabbi Yehuda says:** A young ***tasil*,** which is similar to a dove, is **unfit** for sacrifice **as a dove,** which is fit only when mature, **but** it is **fit** for sacrifice **as a pigeon,** which is fit only when immature. In other words, the *tasil* is considered a type of pigeon, not a dove. A mature ***datzifi*** bird, **and** mature **doves of Reḥava, are fit as doves, but are unfit as pigeons,** since they are types of doves. **Rav Daniel bar Rav Ketina raises an objection** from a mishna (*Para* 9:3): **All birds**
