## Kiddushin Daf 55b

###### Kiddushin 55b:1
[Kiddushin 55b:1](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Kiddushin/r/55b:1)

תָּהֵי בַּהּ רַבִּי יוֹחָנָן: וְכִי אוֹמְרִים לוֹ לָאָדָם: עֲמוֹד וַחֲטָא בִּשְׁבִיל שֶׁתִּזְכֶּה? אֶלָּא אָמַר רַבִּי יוֹחָנָן: מַמְתִּין לַהּ עַד שֶׁתּוּמַם, וּמַיְיתֵי שְׁתֵּי בְּהֵמוֹת וּמַתְנֶה.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
**Rabbi Yoḥanan wondered about** Rabbi Oshaya’s explanation of the mishna: **And does one say to a person: Arise and sin in order that you may gain?** Even if consecrated property can be desacralized intentionally, one is not allowed to redeem an animal designated to be an offering. **Rather, Rabbi Yoḥanan says:** The mishna does not refer to redeeming an unblemished animal but to a case where the one who found the animal **waits for it until it develops a blemish.** At that point it would no longer have inherent sanctity but merely sanctity that inheres in its value, so the animal may be redeemed. **And he brings two** unblemished **animals** of the same value, **and stipulates** that if the animal he found was a burnt-offering, the first animal should be a burnt-offering in its stead while the other should be a voluntary peace-offering. And if the animal he found was a peace-offering, the second animal should be a peace-offering in its stead and the first should be a voluntary burnt-offering. After doing so he may eat the animal he found.


###### Kiddushin 55b:2
[Kiddushin 55b:2](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Kiddushin/r/55b:2)

אָמַר מָר: זְכָרִים – עוֹלוֹת. דִּילְמָא תּוֹדָה הִיא? דְּמַיְיתֵי נָמֵי תּוֹדָה. וְהָא בָּעֲיָא לֶחֶם! דְּמַיְיתֵי נָמֵי לֶחֶם.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
The Gemara continues to clarify the mishna. **The Master says** (55a): **Males** are presumed to be **burnt-offerings,** as only males may be brought as burnt-offerings. The Gemara asks: Why should a male necessarily be a burnt-offering; **perhaps it is a thanks-offering,** which can also be brought from a male animal? The Gemara answers: The mishna means **that** he must **also bring** a third animal and make a similar stipulation, that it should be either **a thanks-offering** in its stead or a voluntary one. The Gemara asks: **But** if he brings a third animal as a thanks-offering, doesn’t a thanks-offering **require** the bringing of **bread** as well? The Gemara answers: **He brings bread as well.**


###### Kiddushin 55b:3
[Kiddushin 55b:3](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Kiddushin/r/55b:3)

וְדִילְמָא אָשָׁם הוּא? אָשָׁם בֶּן שְׁתֵּי שָׁנִים, וְאִישְׁתְּכַח בֶּן שָׁנָה. וְדִילְמָא אֲשַׁם מְצוֹרָע הוּא, אֲשַׁם נָזִיר הוּא? לָא שְׁכִיחִי.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
The Gemara asks: **But perhaps it is a guilt-offering,** which is also brought only from male animals? The Gemara answers: The animal for **a guilt-offering** is **in its second year, and** the mishna is referring to a case where **an** animal **in its first year was found.** The Gemara asks: **But perhaps it is the guilt-offering of a leper** or **the guilt-offering of a nazirite,** which are brought from animals in their first year? The Gemara answers: Lepers and nazirites are **not common,** and there is no need to be concerned about that possibility.


###### Kiddushin 55b:4
[Kiddushin 55b:4](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Kiddushin/r/55b:4)

וְדִילְמָא פֶּסַח הוּא? פֶּסַח בִּזְמַנּוֹ, מִזְהָר זְהִירִי בֵּיהּ, וְשֶׁלֹּא בִּזְמַנּוֹ – שְׁלָמִים הוּא.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
The Gemara asks: **But perhaps it is a Paschal offering,** which is also brought from male animals? The Gemara answers: That is not likely, because with regard to **a Paschal offering,** if it is up to or **in its time** to be slaughtered, the owners **carefully guard it** to prevent it from going missing. **And** if it is a Paschal offering **that** is **not** offered **in its** proper **time,** but was left over and is offered later, **it** has the same *halakha* **as a peace-offering.**


###### Kiddushin 55b:5
[Kiddushin 55b:5](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Kiddushin/r/55b:5)

וְדִילְמָא בְּכוֹר וּמַעֲשֵׂר נִינְהוּ? לְמַאי הִילְכְתָא, לְמֵיכְלִינְהוּ בְּמוּמָן? הָכִי נָמֵי בְּמוּמָן מִתְאַכְלִי!

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
The Gemara asks: **And perhaps** the animal he found **is a firstborn** animal, which can only be brought from male animals, **or** animal **tithe,** which can brought from male animals? The Gemara answers: **With regard to which *halakha*** would the possibility that it is a firstborn or animal tithe need to be taken into account? It is with regard to the *halakha* that one is permitted **to eat them in their blemished** state, as firstborns and animal tithes do not need to be redeemed if they develop a blemish, but are eaten as such. **These** found animals **as well are eaten** only **in their blemished** state, as one may not redeem and eat them until they develop a blemish, as explained previously.


###### Kiddushin 55b:6
[Kiddushin 55b:6](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Kiddushin/r/55b:6)

אָמַר מָר: נְקֵבוֹת – זִבְחֵי שְׁלָמִים. דִּילְמָא תּוֹדָה הִיא? דְּמַיְיתֵי תּוֹדָה. וְהָא בָּעֲיָא לֶחֶם! דְּמַיְיתֵי נָמֵי לֶחֶם.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
**The Master says** above: **Females** are presumed to be **peace-offerings,** as it is permitted to bring a female peace-offering. The Gemara asks: **Perhaps it is a thanks-offering,** which can also be brought from female animals? The Gemara answers: The mishna means **that** he must also **bring** a third animal and make a similar stipulation, that it is either a **thanks-offering** in the stead of the found animal, or a gift offering. The Gemara asks: **But** if he brings a third animal as a thanks-offering, doesn’t a thanks-offering **require** the bringing of **bread** as well? The Gemara answers: **He brings bread as well.**


###### Kiddushin 55b:7
[Kiddushin 55b:7](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Kiddushin/r/55b:7)

וְדִילְמָא חַטָּאת הִיא? חַטָּאת בַּת שְׁנָתָהּ, וְאִישְׁתְּכַח בַּת שְׁתֵּי שָׁנִים. וְדִילְמָא חַטָּאת שֶׁעָבְרָה שְׁנָתָהּ! לָא שְׁכִיחַ.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
The Gemara asks: **But perhaps it is a sin-offering,** as it is permitted to bring a female sin-offering? The Gemara answers: The animal for **a sin-offering** is always **in its first year, and** the mishna is referring to a case where **an** animal **in its second year was found.** The Gemara asks: **But perhaps** it was **a sin-offering whose year had passed** without having been sacrificed? The *halakha* in such a case is that the animal is left to die. The Gemara answers: Such a case is **not common,** and there is no need to be concerned about such a possibility.


###### Kiddushin 55b:8
[Kiddushin 55b:8](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Kiddushin/r/55b:8)

אִשְׁתְּכַח בַּת שְׁנָתָהּ, מַאי? תַּנְיָא, חֲנַנְיָא בֶּן חֲכִינַאי אוֹמֵר: עֵז בַּת שְׁנָתָהּ לְחַטָּאת. לְחַטָּאת סָלְקָא דַּעְתָּךְ?! אֶלָּא אָמַר אַבָּיֵי: כְּחַטָּאת – כּוֹנְסָהּ לְכִיפָּה וְהִיא מֵתָה מֵאֵלֶיהָ.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
The Gemara asks: This is the case if the animal was in its second year, but **what** is the *halakha* if it **was found** when it was **in its first year?** The Gemara answers: **It is taught** in a *baraita*: **Ḥananya ben Ḥakhinai says:** If one found **a goat in its first year,** it is brought **as a sin-offering.** The Gemara asks: **Can it enter your mind** that it is brought **as a sin**-**offering?** How can he sacrifice the animal as a sin-offering due to a mere possibility that it had been designated as a sin-offering? One cannot bring a voluntary sin-offering. **Rather, Abaye says:** He treats it **as** though it were **a sin-offering,** i.e., he **conveys it into a cell and it dies on its own.** Since it might be a lost sin-offering, it must be left to die.


###### Kiddushin 55b:9
[Kiddushin 55b:9](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Kiddushin/r/55b:9)

תָּנוּ רַבָּנַן: אֵין לוֹקְחִים בְּהֵמָה בִּמְעוֹת מַעֲשֵׂר שֵׁנִי,

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
**The Sages taught** (*Tosefta*, *Ma’aser Sheni* 1:15): **One may not purchase an animal with second-tithe money** outside of Jerusalem,
