Text Excerpt
אלמא לא אוקמה כרבי ישמעאל, דאמר רבי חנינא: מודה היה רבי ישמעאל לענין קרבן שאינו חייב אלא חטאת אחת, השתא נמי כרבי יהודה לא מתוקמא, דהא אמר רבי אליעזר: מודה היה רבי יהודה לענין קרבן שאין מביא אלא חטאת אחת!
Why does one not interpret the baraita in accordance with the opinion of R' Yishmael? The reason is as R' Ḥanina says: Although R' Yishmael maintains that one who eats the fat of an ox, a sheep, and a goat is liable to receive a separate set of lashes for each one, he would concede with regard to bringing an offering that if he ate those types of forbidden fat in a single lapse of awareness he is liable to bring only one sin offering. Now too, the baraita should not be interpreted in accordance with the opinion of R' Yehuda, as doesn’t R' Eliezer say: R' Yehuda would concede with regard to bringing an offering that if one ate forbidden fat of sacrificial animals he brings only one sin offering?
אלא אמר ריש לקיש משום בר תאוטני: הכא במאי עסקינן – כגון שאכלן בשני תמחויין, ואליבא דרבי יהושע, דאמר: תמחויין מחלקים.
Rather, Reish Lakish said in the name of the Sage bar Ta’utni: What are we dealing with here, where one is liable to bring two sin offerings for eating forbidden fat of two categories? We are dealing with a case in which he ate the forbidden fat from two dishes, i.e., where each part was prepared in a different manner, and this is in accordance with the opinion of R' Yehoshua, who says that dishes serve to separate the acts of eating. One who eats forbidden food from two different dishes in the course of a single lapse of awareness is considered to have transgressed two prohibitions and is liable to bring a sin offering for each one.
גופא: אכל חלב נבילה – לוקה שתים, חלב מוקדשין – לוקה שתים, רבי יהודה אומר: חלב מוקדשין – לוקה שלש.
§ The Talmud returns to discuss the matter itself: If one ate forbidden fat of an animal carcass he is flogged with two sets of lashes for transgressing the prohibitions of eating forbidden fat and consuming an animal carcass. If he ate forbidden fat of sacrificial animals, he is flogged with two sets of lashes, for both eating forbidden fat and transgressing the prohibition forbidding a non-priest to partake of sacrificial animals. R' Yehuda says: If one ate forbidden fat of sacrificial animals, he is flogged with 3 sets of lashes.
