Chullin 47a (מז.) — the Talmud in English

And Rava said: These two adjacent bubbles—

cannot be examined.

Rava was certain that such a situation, in which two bubbles are adjacent, results from a perforation that developed in the lung but is not visible to us, and therefore the animal is a tereifa.

And if there was

one

bubble,

but it appeared to be two

bubbles—

we bring a thorn,

we bring a thorn,

and pierce

and perforate

it

on one of its sides, and observe:

If they flow into one another,

when the liquid in the pierced bubble flows out, the liquid in the second bubble passes into it,

it is one

bubble

and it is kosher. But if not—

they are two

bubbles,

and it is a tereifa.

And Rava said: It has five lobes,

it has five separate lobes

the lung.

When the animal is hung by its legs after slaughter and its abdomen is opened, it hangs in such a way that its

nose,

its intestines, are turned

toward the person

who cuts open its abdomen. Thus,

three

of the five lobes are found

on the right

of the slaughterer,

and two

lobes are found

on the left

of the slaughterer.

And if

one lobe is missing

one lobe,

or one lobe is additional

[every extra one is considered as though missing],

or the order is reversed

with three lobes on the left and two on the right—

it is a tereifa.

There was

a lobe

that was additional and came before

that was brought to him for a ruling

of Maremar.

Rav Aḥa was sitting at the entrance. He said to him,

Rav Aḥa said to the man who had come to ask Maremar, and was leaving him:

What did he say to you,

what did Maremar answer you?

He said to him: I declared it kosher for him!

He said to him,

Rav Aḥa:

Go back and bring it before Maremar,

go back and bring it before Maremar to ask him a second time, perhaps Maremar had not examined it properly. For Rav Aḥa held in accordance with Rava, that an additional lobe renders the animal a tereifa.

That man went back to Maremar to ask him a second time.

Maremar said to him,

Maremar said to that man:

Go, tell the one sitting at the entrance,

go and tell the one sitting at the entrance to the house—namely, Rav Aḥa:

The halakha does not follow Rava with regard to an additional lobe!

And this applies

to the case in which an additional lobe is kosher, where

it is positioned in the row of the lobes,

in the row of the lobes; that is, it is added in a place where an additional lobe ought to be located.

But

if it is positioned

between the two—

it is a tereifa.

There was

a lobe

positioned between the two that came before Rav Ashi. Rav Ashi considered declaring it a tereifa.

Rav Huna said to him: Master,

Rav Ashi, you

son of Avya! All these animals

of the wild,

all the animals that graze in the pasture [outside, or in the wilderness],

have this arrangement, and slaughterers call it “the rose-shaped lobe.” “

The term einunitа is like inunitа; that is, a small lobe whose red color resembles a rose.”

And this applies

when it is to be declared kosher if that einunita de-varda was

on the inner side,

below the lung.
