Daf hayomi BEKHOROT page 17

Still on the subject of the firstborn that had to go to the Cohen. We have classified everything regarding that. Now, we are on firstborns that were born a bit strangely. Meaning someone who had a sheep and the firstborn baby is half-goat.

So, we saw if it doesn't look much like the mother, you can no longer give it. It's no longer sanctified to give to the Cohen because the Torah asks for a classic firstborn. >> Those are the steps, those are the conditions. Tash meabelon barzelad.

We also saw that if there is a non-Jewish or idolatrous partner, there isn't one either because God asks for a firstborn that belongs to a Jew. Agreed? I won't say that some used this as a scheme to avoid >> giving the firstborn. But we saw that even if the children, the first and second generation, still belong to the non-Jew because he rented them, let's say, it was common at the time.

You would rent a car today, you rent a sheep for a year. So if the sheep had a firstborn, it's not yours, it belongs to the owner. 2nd generation, 3rd generation already, >> it starts to have debates, they say up to 10 generations and the owner is still non-Jewish, so even 10 firstborns... What is that?

What is it? >> Saturday, I >> which aliyah? >> 5th. >> Saturday.

Saturday. >> 5th. 5th. Razak.

So there it is, some say first generation, 2nd generation, 3rd, and that's how this subject ends, what we started yesterday. So a sheep that gave birth, it looks like a goat. What is this story? Come and see.

Maybe the father was a goat and the mother was a sheep, or the reverse. What do we do now with this firstborn? Give it. When you go see the Rabbi?

Please. Ask him. Why does Rabbi Meir say that the firstborn, half-and-half, half-goat, half-sheep, >> you give it? What?

Does he disagree with what we studied, that the Torah says the son must look like... >> not mom or dad? That means him, Rabbi Tarfon. >> And there are the Rishonim.

So maybe he didn't mean he has to give the firstborn, he just has to give the wool. Even in wool, the entire first layer was for the... >> Cohen, always the Cohen, don't forget, in everything: in fruits, in wool, in meat, always think of him. Have an excellent day.

Always thinking of you. But apparently in the Torah, you give wool only from the sheep and not from the goat. Because the goat, >> it's difficult. Already in the cheese, you can smell it.

So >> so for the Cohen, it's a poisoned gift. So why must we give it? Only sheep's wool is any good. He tells you it's not half-goat half-sheep, this one is a triple-mix, a third goat, a third sheep, and besides, his father was a buck.

And when he said you have to be careful , it's not for the firstborn, no. It's not for the wool; it's not great. It's for slaughtering him, the father and the son on the same day. That, we are not allowed to do in the Torah.

But here, since this one, we don't know who the dad is, we don't know who the mom is, we would have thought yes. Rabbi says no. Even here, you must respect she doesn't agree because it says this is a big debate we already studied, do you remember that in the end it says that it is >> whatever comes out of the sea >> exactly, because we never know who the father is. Oh no, it's a sheep, son of a firstborn sheep, firstborn of a goat.

That means it has >> half >> it's not half goat, it is >> half sheep. >> Yeah, but it has a little bit of >> a small third >> of goat >> of goat. Is it not half and half here, huh? It's the 3rd generation.

Is this one, the firstborn, given? Or does the fact that the grandfather was a goat mean it isn't in the category? Incredible. First: the mom, what is she?

Does she look like it or not? No, well, it's okay . No, you go to the grandmother. Does the grandmother look like it?

Yes, that's fine. >> there you go incredible, this debate that it's a sheep, son of a goat, son of a sheep, meaning there were two sheep in the middle and a bit, and the father was a goat. So this one too, the fact that the grandmother is a sheep , that's good. The son is already a goat, that breaks the chain.

And as it says in the name of Rabbi Shimon, the head and the majority of the body must resemble the mother, and in that case, it's a firstborn that you can give to the Cohen. Even the sacrifice of what is it? It's that, it must be, it's goats, the entire lineage must be of the same breed. As soon as there is one that is not good, then we can no longer bring it for It is written.

Number, don't mix. Why not use another source? No. I would have thought that if it were only for perhaps no, but to bring it as a donation, I mean thank you.

I can't bring it either. It's not a good breed. We're finishing the subject. The Torah, when it tells you not to put linen and wool together, it means wool from a sheep, not goat wool, because if you wear a suit and they use goat wool, it itches everywhere.

Even for the thread of we cannot do it with the blue. Why? It is written. It must be royal wool.

All the laws of impurity are not valid for goat wool. Agreed? Everything we speak of in the Torah is wool from the same rule applies to wine. You cannot bring to the temple wine that was grown next to a fig tree.

It's a mix of wine and, okay, it's not good. >> All of this is mixtures. If someone grafted wool, linen, sorry. with byssus.

Can this be brought? Is it something you can mix with wool, or is it a linen what do we call that? Mixed very depends on the smell. And that one has no smell because it stayed there.

So it's fine. There you go. Gentlemen, the subject is wrapped up. We are starting a new Mishnah.

Rahel. We still have a few minutes. Yeah, yeah, 4 or 5 minutes. Rahel that did not give birth yet.

Listen, it's getting complicated now. It's getting interesting. Someone has a sheep, mazel tov, a ewe, I don't know what you call it in English, but she gave birth not to one firstborn, but two firstborns. What do we do?

Twins, bravo, twins. And both heads came out together. Okay. You don't know who is what?

How does the Cohen settle the story? Did the Cohen win the twins? Since it's written even in the plural. they say it's impossible for both heads to come out at the same time.

>> It's one or the other, and since you missed the birth and you don't know who is who, well, the Cohen, bye-bye, he receives nothing in the doubt, and there , sorry, sorry for the Cohen, one for the Cohen, but we don't know which one. He says who chooses the first one. >> The wicked ones. Between them.

We see who is the biggest, who is okay, and who takes the biggest according to Rabbi Akiva, no, not the Cohen. The owner, because there is a rule: the Cohen wants to take, whoever wants to take something must bring proof. >> And since the Cohen has no proof, he stays with nothing. But the second one, which is in doubt, we let it graze until it dies; meaning we cannot benefit from it.

Here is our subject, the page, little page there: if after the second twin, when he makes a barbecue, he must once again give to the Cohen the cheek, the shoulder, the stomach, all that is the Cohen's share no matter what. Rabbi says no, he is exempt, because it is a doubt. But poor things, one of the twins didn't make it, only one is left, ah. >> Rabfone says maybe.

We will sell it, you give half to the Cohen, go check the... He says not at all, if he doesn't have proof that it isn't his that died, it stays with the owner. All this is for male twins, but if there were twins... >> a twin brother and sister, fraternal twins, there you go.

>> And well there... >> the Cohen, wow. >> No one brings proof of which one came out. Maybe it's the girl who came out first; in that case, there is nothing.

Here is the other one. Subject matter. Line 4. Caught.

Is it possible to have two heads come out at the same time or is it too tight? They say: "Naturally no, it cannot happen, but with human intervention..." >> yes, they spread them apart with machines, and in that case what? Even when we placed [the red line] on the altar, there was a line in the middle, and this line, how did they know ? They didn't have lasers back then to place it exactly at the top and bottom of the marks, so you see that even with human intervention, they can't exactly know about the birth when the two heads come out.

Over there, it was divine; what Moses did in the Tabernacle in the Temple was better than a laser. Let's bring another proof. Here is an oven that became impure, we can cut it in two. Are the two equal or not equal?

He says if it came out equal. You see that human beings can make things equal . It is never equal. There are always different pieces in clay.

There is a story about a corpse found between two cities and we measure it. And if it falls exactly, how does it fall exactly? It is exactly 1 km, 23. So you see that...

humans can intervene and get an exact size. So it is also possible for the two heads to come out at the same time. Look at what she is trying to prove. The Gemara is beautiful, it tells you no, over there we don't know where we measure from, from the head, the heart, or the feet, if it's ever equal.

I'm turning to page 18. In any case, he says it can happen, and he says naturally that both heads come out, and also with human intervention, but the Gemara on the next page will try to prove that Rabs is not right. Have an excellent day. Rabotai, amen.
