הַזְּרוֹעַ וְהַלְּחָיַיִם וְהַקֵּבָה נוֹהֲגִין בָּאָרֶץ וּבְחוּצָה לָאָרֶץ, בִּפְנֵי הַבַּיִת וְשֶׁלֹּא בִפְנֵי הַבַּיִת, בְּחֻלִּין אֲבָל לֹא בְמֻקְדָּשִׁין. שֶׁהָיָה בַדִּין, וּמָה אִם הַחֻלִּין, שֶׁאֵינָן חַיָּבִין בְּחָזֶה וָשׁוֹק, חַיָּבִין בַּמַּתָּנוֹת, קָדָשִׁים שֶׁחַיָּבִין בְּחָזֶה וָשׁוֹק, אֵינוֹ דִין שֶׁחַיָּבִין בַּמַּתָּנוֹת. תַּלְמוּד לוֹמַר (ויקרא ז), וָאֶתֵּן אֹתָם לְאַהֲרֹן הַכֹּהֵן וּלְבָנָיו לְחָק עוֹלָם, אֵין לוֹ אֶלָּא מַה שֶּׁאָמוּר בָּעִנְיָן:

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
The mitzva to give **the foreleg, the jaw, and the maw** of slaughtered animals to the priests, known as the gifts of the priesthood, **applies** both **in Eretz** Yisrael **and outside of Eretz** Yisrael, **in the presence of the Temple and not in the presence of the Temple,** and it applies **to non-sacred** animals, **but not to sacrificial** animals. It is necessary to emphasize that it does not apply to sacrificial animals, **as by right it should be** inferred *a fortiori*: **If non-sacred** animals, **which are not obligated to** have the **breast and thigh** taken from them and given to the priest, **are obligated to** have **gifts** of the priesthood given from them, then with regard to **sacrificial** animals, **which are obligated to** have the **breast and thigh** given from them, **is it not right that** they should be **obligated to** have **gifts** of the priesthood given from them? Therefore, **the verse states:** “For the breast of waving and the thigh of giving I have taken of the children of Israel from the sacrifice of the peace offerings, **and have given them to Aaron the priest and to his sons as a due forever** from the children of Israel” (Leviticus 7:34), from which it is derived that the priest **has only that which is stated with regard to** that **matter,** i.e., the breast and the thigh, and not the foreleg, the jaw and the maw.

כָּל הַקֳּדָשִׁים שֶׁקָּדַם מוּם קָבוּעַ לְהֶקְדֵּשָׁן וְנִפְדּוּ, חַיָּבִין בַּבְּכוֹרָה וּבַמַּתָּנוֹת, וְיוֹצְאִין לְחֻלִּין, לְהִגָּזֵז וּלְהֵעָבֵד, וּוְלָדָן וַחֲלָבָן מֻתָּר לְאַחַר פִּדְיוֹנָן, וְהַשּׁוֹחֲטָן בַּחוּץ פָּטוּר, וְאֵין עוֹשִׂין תְּמוּרָה, וְאִם מֵתוּ יִפָּדוּ, חוּץ מִן הַבְּכוֹר וּמִן הַמַּעֲשֵׂר. כֹּל שֶׁקָּדַם הֶקְדֵּשָׁן אֶת מוּמָן, אוֹ מוּם עוֹבֵר לְהֶקְדֵּשָׁן, וּלְאַחַר מִכָּאן נוֹלַד לָהֶם מוּם קָבוּעַ וְנִפְדּוּ, פְּטוּרִין מִן הַבְּכוֹרָה וּמִן הַמַּתָּנוֹת, וְאֵינָן יוֹצְאִין לְחֻלִּין לְהִגָּזֵז וּלְהֵעָבֵד, וּוְלָדָן וַחֲלָבָן אָסוּר לְאַחַר פִּדְיוֹנָן, וְהַשּׁוֹחֲטָן בַּחוּץ חַיָּב, וְעוֹשִׂין תְּמוּרָה, וְאִם מֵתוּ, יִקָּבֵרוּ:

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
**All sacrificial** animals in **which a permanent blemish preceded their consecration** do not assume inherent sanctity, and only their value is consecrated. **And** once **they were redeemed,** they **are obligated in** the mitzva of **a firstborn,** i.e., their offspring are subject to being counted a firstborn, **and in the gifts** of the priesthood, **and they can emerge** from their sacred status and assume **non-sacred** status **with regard to being shorn and with regard to being utilized for labor,** as it is prohibited to shear animals with sacred status or utilize them for labor. **And their offspring and their milk are permitted after their redemption.** **And one who slaughters** these animals **outside** the Temple courtyard is **exempt** from *karet*, **and** those animals **do not render** an animal that was **a substitute** for them consecrated. **And if** these animals **died** before they were redeemed, **they may be redeemed** and fed to dogs. Although typically sacrificial animals that were redeemed may not be fed to the dogs, in this case it is permitted. This is the *halakha* with regard to all animals **except for the firstborn** animal **and the** animal **tithe,** whose sanctity is inherent, even when a permanent blemish preceded their consecration. With regard to **all** sacrificial animals **whose consecration preceded their blemish, or** who had **a temporary blemish prior to their consecration and afterward developed a permanent blemish and they were redeemed, they are exempt from** the mitzva of **a firstborn, and from the gifts** of the priestood, **and they do not emerge** from their sacred status and assume **non-sacred** status **with regard to being shorn and with regard to being utilized for labor.** **And their offspring,** which were conceived prior to redemption, **and their milk, are prohibited after their redemption. And one who slaughters them outside** the Temple courtyard is **liable** to receive *karet*, **and** those animals **render** an animal that was **a substitute** for them consecrated. **And if** these animals **died** before they were redeemed, they may not be redeemed and fed to dogs; rather, **they must be buried.**

בְּכוֹר שֶׁנִּתְעָרֵב בְּמֵאָה, בִּזְמַן שֶׁמֵּאָה שׁוֹחֲטִין אֶת כֻּלָּן, פּוֹטְרִין אֶת כֻּלָּן. אֶחָד שׁוֹחֵט אֶת כֻּלָּן, פּוֹטְרִין לוֹ אֶחָד. הַשּׁוֹחֵט לְכֹהֵן וּלְנָכְרִי, פָּטוּר מִן הַמַּתָּנוֹת. וְהַמִּשְׁתַּתֵּף עִמָּהֶן, צָרִיךְ שֶׁיִּרְשֹׁם. וְאִם אָמַר חוּץ מִן הַמַּתָּנוֹת, פָּטוּר מִן הַמַּתָּנוֹת. אָמַר, מְכֹר לִי בְנֵי מֵעֶיהָ שֶׁל פָּרָה, וְהָיוּ בָהֶן מַתָּנוֹת, נוֹתְנָן לְכֹהֵן וְאֵינוֹ מְנַכֶּה לוֹ מִן הַדָּמִים. לָקַח הֵימֶנּוּ בְמִשְׁקָל, נוֹתְנָן לְכֹהֵן וּמְנַכֶּה לוֹ מִן הַדָּמִים:

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
With regard to a blemished **firstborn** animal, which one may slaughter and eat without being required to give the foreleg, jaw, and maw to the priest, **that was intermingled with one hundred** non-sacred animals, from which one is required to give those gifts, in a case **when one hundred** different people **slaughter all of them,** each slaughtering one animal, one **exempts them all** from giving the gifts, as each could claim that the animal that he slaughtered was the firstborn. If **one** person **slaughtered them all,** one **exempts one** of the animals **for him.** **One who slaughters** the animal of a priest **for the priest or** the animal of a gentile **for the gentile is exempt from** the obligation to give **the gifts** of the foreleg, the jaw, and the maw. **And** an Israelite **who enters into partnership with** a priest or a gentile **must mark** the animal to indicate that it is jointly owned and exempt from the obligation to give the gifts. **And if** a priest sold his animal to an Israelite and **said:** The animal is sold **except for the gifts** with it, the Israelite is **exempt from** the obligation to give **the gifts,** as they are not his. If the Israelite **said** to the one slaughtering the animal: **Sell me the innards of a cow, and there were gifts** included **with it,** i.e., the maw, the purchaser **gives them to the priest and he does not deduct** the value of the gifts **from the money** that he pays **him.** If **he bought** the innards **from** the slaughterer **by weight,** the purchaser **gives** the gifts, i.e., the maw, **to the priest and deducts** the value of the gifts **from the money** that he pays **him.**

גֵּר שֶׁנִּתְגַּיֵּר וְהָיְתָה לוֹ פָרָה, נִשְׁחֲטָה עַד שֶׁלֹּא נִתְגַּיֵּר, פָּטוּר. מִשֶּׁנִּתְגַּיֵּר, חַיָּב. סָפֵק, פָּטוּר, שֶׁהַמּוֹצִיא מֵחֲבֵרוֹ עָלָיו הָרְאָיָה. אֵיזֶהוּ הַזְּרוֹעַ, מִן הַפֶּרֶק שֶׁל אַרְכֻּבָּה עַד כַּף שֶׁל יָד. וְהוּא שֶׁל נָזִיר. וּכְנֶגְדּוֹ בָרֶגֶל, שׁוֹק. רַבִּי יְהוּדָה אוֹמֵר, שׁוֹק, מִן הַפֶּרֶק שֶׁל אַרְכֻּבָּה עַד סֹבֶךְ שֶׁל רָגֶל. אֵיזֶהוּ לְחִי, מִן הַפֶּרֶק שֶׁל לְחִי עַד פִּקָּה שֶׁל גַּרְגָּרֶת:

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
In the case of **a convert who converted and he had a cow,** if the cow **was slaughtered before** he **converted,** he is **exempt** from giving the gifts to the priest. If the animal was slaughtered **after he converted,** the convert is **obligated** to give the gifts. If there is **uncertainty** whether it was slaughtered before or after the conversion, the convert is **exempt, as the burden of proof rests upon the claimant.** **What is the** definition of the **foreleg** that is given to the priests as one of the gifts? It is the part of the leg **from the joint of the** lower **knee until the rounded protrusion** surrounding the thigh bone **of the foreleg; and that is** the foreleg mentioned in the Torah **with regard to the nazirite:** “And the priest shall take the foreleg of the ram when it is cooked” (Numbers 6:19). **And the parallel in the hind leg is the thigh** that is given to the priest from the peace offering, which is also from the joint of the lower knee until the rounded protrusion surrounding the thigh bone. **Rabbi Yehuda says:** The **thigh is from the joint of the** lower **knee until the upper knee** joint, which connects the middle and upper parts of the leg. **What is the** definition of the **jaw?** It is **from the joint of the** lower **jaw** beneath the temples and downward **until the upper ring of the windpipe.**
