Tamid 31A

לא היה שובר בו את הרגל, אלא נוקבו מתוך ערקובו, ותולה בו.

When the priest flayed the hide of the daily offering after its slaughter, he would not break the animal’s leg in the typical manner of flaying an animal; rather, he punctures the leg from within each knee of the hind leg and suspends the animal by placing these holes on two hooks, in order to flay the animal’s hide.

היה מפשיט ויורד עד שמגיע לחזה. הגיע לחזה, חתך את הראש, ונתנו למי שזכה בו. חתך את הכרעים, ונתנן למי שזכה בהן. מרק את ההפשט. קרע את הלב והוציא את דמו.

The priest began flaying from the top of the inverted animal, descending until he would reach the hide of the breast. Once he reached the breast, he severed the lamb’s head and gave it to the priest who won the right to take it up to the ramp. Next he severed the 4 legs below the knee and gave them to the priest who won the right to take them up to the ramp. He completed the flaying of the remaining hide from the breast down, and then the priest cut the heart and drained its blood.

חתך את הידים, ונתנן למי שזכה בהן. עלה לרגל הימנית, חתכה, ונתנה למי שזכה בה, ושתי ביצים עמה. קרעו, ונמצא כולו גלוי לפניו.

Next the priest severed the remaining upper parts of the forelegs and gave them to the priest who won the right to take them up to the ramp. Afterward he moved up to the remaining upper part of the right hind leg, severed it, and gave it to the priest who won the right to take it up to the ramp; and the animal’s two testicles were cut along with the right leg, leaving the animal suspended by its left hind leg. Then the priest tore open the animal’s midsection, resulting in the innards of the entire animal being exposed before him.
