Text Excerpt
בכלאים ובטריפה, ביוצא דופן – ירעו עד שיסתאבו, וימכרו, ויביא בדמי היפה שבהן מאותו המין.
Additional examples include an offering that was intermingled with an animal born of a mixture of diverse kinds, e.g., the offspring of a ram and a goat, or with an animal with a wound that will cause it to die within 12 months [tereifa], or with an animal born by caesarean section. In all these cases the animals that are intermingled should graze until they become unfit for sacrifice and then they should be sold. And from the money received in the sale, the owner should bring another offering of the monetary value of the highest-quality animal among them, of the same type of offering that the intermingled offering was.
נתערבו בחולין תמימים – ימכרו החולין לצורכי אותו המין.
The Mishnah continues: If sacrificial animals were intermingled with unblemished, non-sacred animals, which, if consecrated, are fit for sacrifice, the non-sacred animals should be sold for the purpose of purchasing offerings of the same type as the offering with which they were intermingled.
קדשים בקדשים מין במינו – זה יקרב לשם מי שהוא, וזה יקרב לשם מי שהוא.
In a case where sacrificial animals were intermingled with other sacrificial animals, if it was an animal of one type of offering with animals of the same type of offering, one should sacrifice this animal for the sake of whoever is its owner and one should sacrifice that animal for the sake of whoever is its owner, and both fulfill their obligation.
קדשים בקדשים מין בשאינו מינו – ירעו עד שיסתאבו וימכרו, ויביא בדמי יפה שבהן ממין זה, ובדמי היפה שבהן ממין זה, ויפסיד המותר מביתו.
In a case where sacrificial animals were intermingled with other sacrificial animals, where an animal of one type of offering was intermingled with animals not of the same type of offering, e.g., two rams, where one is designated as a burnt offering and one as a peace offering, they should graze until they become unfit for sacrifice and then they should be sold. And from the money received in the sale, the owner should bring another offering of the monetary value of the highest-quality animal among them as this type of offering, and another offering of the monetary value of the highest-quality animal among them as that type of offering, and he will lose the additional expense of purchasing two highest-quality animals, when he had sold only one highest-quality animal, from his own assets.
