When ritual slaughterers are devout, [the meat they provide brings] people to have compassion for one another. The inverse is also the case, [as the meat of ritual slaughterers who are not devout causes people to lack compassion].

When a ritual slaughterer fulfills the commandment to honor one’s father, God protects him from inadvertently distributing non-kosher meat. The inverse is also the case, [as transgressing this commandment leads to his inadvertently distributing non-kosher meat].

Wicked slaughterers who distribute non-kosher meat bring about an increase of theft in the world.

When those with clear vision look at the knives used by ritual slaughterers, they can see the vessels of the Holy Temple.

A person who suddenly loses his ability to speak should have a knife fit for ritual slaughtering passed over his mouth.
