Commentary for Kiddushin 50:2
בביצים ולא בגיד אלא כולן אף בביצים דברי רבי יהודה רבי אליעזר בן יעקב אומר כולם בגיד רבי יוסי אומר מעוך וכתות אף בביצים נתוק וכרות בגיד אין בביצים לא:
To the stones and not to the membrum!<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' Surely if the membrum is cut or broken it is a patent blemish!');"><sup>3</sup></span> But all these refer to the stones too: that is R'Judah's opinion. R'Eliezer B'Jacob said: They refer to the membrum.<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' But not to the testicles, which in his view are concealed and do not disqualify the animal.');"><sup>4</sup></span> R'Jose said: 'Bruised and crushed' refer to the stones too,<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' As then they are more noticeable.');"><sup>5</sup></span>
Daf Shevui to Kiddushin
Earlier we saw a dispute over whether a slave whose master cuts off his testicles goes free. This dispute matches the dispute here over whether an animal whose testicles have been removed can be offered as a sacrifice.
