הזהירנו מהבדיל ראש חטאת העוף בשעת מליקה. והוא אמרו יתעלה ומלק את ראשו ולא יבדיל ואם הבדיל פסל. והתבארו משפטי מצוה זו במסכת זבחים. (ויקרא, הלכות מעשה הקרבנות פ"ב):

**Sefaria Edition 2021, Translated by Rabbi Francis Nataf:**
He prohibited us from severing the head of the fowl sin-offering at the time of nipping (*melikah*). And that is His, may He be exalted, saying, "and he shall nip its head [...], and not sever it" (Leviticus 5:8). And the regulations of this commandment have been explained in Tractate Zevachim. (See Parashat Vayikra; Mishneh Torah, Sacrificial Procedure 2.)
