## Niddah Daf 40b

###### Niddah 40b:1
[Niddah 40b:1](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Niddah/r/40b:1)

פָּרַט לְנִשְׁחֲטָה בַּלַּיְלָה, וְשֶׁנִּשְׁפַּךְ דָּמָהּ, וְשֶׁיָּצָא דָּמָהּ חוּץ לַקְּלָעִים שֶׁאִם עָלְתָה תֵּרֵד.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
These three expressions allude **to the exclusion of** the following three cases from the above principle: An offering that was disqualified because it was **slaughtered at night, and** an offering **whose blood spilled** before it could be sprinkled on the altar, **and** an offering **whose blood** was disqualified because it **was taken outside the curtains [*lakela’im*]** surrounding the courtyard of the Tabernacle in the wilderness, i.e., it left the Temple courtyard. These three cases are excluded, **as** in these instances, **if** parts of the disqualified offering **ascended,** i.e., were brought upon the altar, **they must descend,** i.e., be taken down.


###### Niddah 40b:2
[Niddah 40b:2](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Niddah/r/40b:2)

רַבִּי שִׁמְעוֹן אוֹמֵר: עוֹלָה — אֵין לִי אֶלָּא עוֹלָה כְּשֵׁרָה, מִנַּיִן לְרַבּוֹת שֶׁנִּשְׁחֲטָה בַּלַּיְלָה, וְשֶׁנִּשְׁפַּךְ דָּמָהּ, וְשֶׁיָּצָא דָּמָהּ חוּץ לַקְּלָעִים, וְהַלָּן, וְהַיּוֹצֵא, וְהַטָּמֵא, וְהַנּוֹתָר, וְשֶׁנִּשְׁחַט חוּץ לִזְמַנּוֹ וְחוּץ לִמְקוֹמוֹ,

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
**Rabbi Shimon says:** From the verse’s reference to **a burnt offering, I have** derived **only** that **a valid burnt offering** should not be taken down from the altar. **From where** is it derived that the verse also serves **to include** the following disqualified offerings: An offering **that** is invalid because it **was slaughtered at night; and** one **whose blood spilled** before sprinkling; **and** one **whose blood was taken outside the curtains,** i.e., the Temple courtyard; **and** one whose blood **was left overnight; and** one **that was** itself **taken out** of the Temple courtyard; **and** one **that** became **ritually impure; and** one **that was left overnight; and** one **that was slaughtered** with the intent to eat its flesh **beyond its** designated **time or outside its** designated **area.**


###### Niddah 40b:3
[Niddah 40b:3](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Niddah/r/40b:3)

וְשֶׁקִּבְּלוּ פְּסוּלִין וְזָרְקוּ אֶת דָּמָן, וְהַנִּתָּנִין לְמַעְלָה שֶׁנְּתָנָן לְמַטָּה, וְהַנִּתָּנִין לְמַטָּה שֶׁנְּתָנָן לְמַעְלָה, וְהַנִּתָּנִין בַּחוּץ שֶׁנְּתָנָן בִּפְנִים, וְהַנִּתָּנִין בִּפְנִים שֶׁנְּתָנָן בַּחוּץ, וְהַפֶּסַח וְהַחַטָּאת שֶׁשְּׁחָטָן שֶׁלֹּא לִשְׁמָן, מִנַּיִן?

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
**And** likewise, from where is it derived that the verse serves to include offerings **that** those who are **unfit** for performing the Temple service **collected or sprinkled their blood; and** offerings **whose** blood is supposed to be **placed above** the red line of the altar but **which one placed below** that line; **and** offerings **whose** blood is supposed to be **placed below** the red line of the altar but **which one placed above** it; **and** offerings **whose** blood should be **placed** on the altar situated **outside** the Sanctuary but **which one** instead **placed** on the altar **inside** the Sanctuary; **and** offerings **whose** blood should be **placed** on the altar **inside** the Sanctuary but **which one placed** on the altar **outside; and a Paschal offering and a sin offering that one slaughtered not for their** own **sake,** i.e., while slaughtering he actually intended to sacrifice a different offering? **From where** is it derived that although these offerings are disqualified, if they were brought up to the altar they are not taken down?


###### Niddah 40b:4
[Niddah 40b:4](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Niddah/r/40b:4)

תַּלְמוּד לוֹמַר: ״זֹאת תּוֹרַת הָעוֹלָה״ — רִיבָּה תּוֹרָה אַחַת לְכׇל הָעוֹלִין, שֶׁאִם עָלוּ לֹא יֵרְדוּ.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
**The verse states: “This is the law of the burnt offering.”** The verse thereby **included** in **one law all** items **that ascend** upon the altar, even disqualified offerings, teaching **that if they ascended** the altar, **they shall not descend.**


###### Niddah 40b:5
[Niddah 40b:5](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Niddah/r/40b:5)

יָכוֹל שֶׁאֲנִי מְרַבֶּה אֶת הָרוֹבֵעַ, וְהַנִּרְבָּע, וְהַמּוּקְצֶה, וְהַנֶּעֱבָד, וְאֶתְנַן, וְהַמְחִיר, וְהַכִּלְאַיִם, וְהַטְּרֵפָה, וְיוֹצֵא דּוֹפֶן? תַּלְמוּד לוֹמַר ״זֹאת״.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
Rabbi Shimon continues: One **might** have thought **that I** should also **include an animal that copulated with a person; and an animal that was the object of bestiality; and** an animal **that** was **set aside** for idol worship; **and** an animal **that was worshipped** as a deity; **and** an animal that was given as **payment** to a prostitute **or** as **the price** of a dog; **and** an animal that is an offspring of **diverse kinds,** i.e., crossbreeding; **and an animal with a wound that will cause it to die within twelve months [*tereifa*]; and** an animal born by **caesarean section.** Therefore, **the verse states: “This,”** to exclude these disqualifications.

[Niddah 40b:6](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Niddah/r/40b:6)

וּמָה רָאִיתָ לְרַבּוֹת אֶת אֵלּוּ וּלְהוֹצִיא אֶת אֵלּוּ?

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
Rabbi Shimon elaborates: **And what did you see,** i.e., what is the reason **to include these** particular cases **and to exclude those** particular cases?
