[Sifrei Devarim 100:1](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Sifrei%20Devarim/r/100:1)

(דברים יד ד-ה) **זֹאת הַבְּהֵמָה אֲשֶׁר תֹּאכֵלוּ, שׁוֹר שֵׂה כְשָׂבִים וְשֵׂה עִזִּים; אַיָּל וּצְבִי וְיַחְמוּר**, מְלַמֵּד שֶׁחַיָּה בִּכְלַל בְּהֵמָה.

**Sefaria Community Translation:**
(Devarim 14:4) "This is the beast that you may eat: the ox, the lamb of sheep, and the kid of goats, the hart, the gazelle, and the fallow deer" — whence we derive that animals (the last three) are in the category of "beast." Whence do we derive that a beast is in the category of "animal"? From (Vayikra 11:2) "This is the *animal* that you shall eat from all of the *beasts*" — whence it is derived that an animal is called a beast, and a beast, an animal.

[Sifrei Devarim 100:2](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Sifrei%20Devarim/r/100:2)

מִנַּיִן שֶׁאַף בְּהֵמָה בִּכְלַל חַיָּה? תַּלְמוּד לוֹמַר (ויקרא יא ב): ״זֹאת הַחַיָּה״ וְגוֹ׳. מְלַמֵּד שֶׁחַיָּה קְרוּיָה בְּהֵמָה וּבְהֵמָה קְרוּיָה חַיָּה, וּמְלַמֵּד שֶׁבְּהֵמָה טְמֵאָה מְרֻבָּה מִבְּהֵמָה טְהוֹרָה. בְּכָל מָקוֹם הַכָּתוּב פּוֹרֵט אֶת הַמּוּעָט, שֶׁנֶּאֱמַר **זֹאת הַבְּהֵמָה אֲשֶׁר תֹּאכֵלוּ וְגוֹ׳ אַיָּל וּצְבִי וְיַחְמוּר** וְגוֹ׳.

**Sefaria Community Translation:**
And we are taught that the unclean beasts (and animals) are more numerous than the clean ones; for in all places Scripture specifies the lesser, viz. (Devarim, *Ibid*.) "This is the beast that you may eat … (5) the hart, the gazelle, and the fallow deer."
