Commentary for Pesachim 145:2

שחטו שלא לאוכליו: פשיטא כיון דהתם פסול הכא חייב משום דתנא סיפא פטור תנא רישא חייב

IF HE SLAUGHTERED IT FOR THOSE WHO ARE NOT ITS EATERS [etc,]. That is obvious: since it is [taught] there [that it is] unfit, he is liable here? - Because the second clause teaches, HE IS NOT LIABLE, the first clause teaches, HE IS LIABLE. But that too is obvious: Since [the sacrifice] is fit there, he is not liable here?- Rather, because he teaches, IF HE SLAUGHTERED IT FOR A DIFFERENT PURPOSE ON THE SABBATH, he also teaches [about] THOSE WHO ARE NOT ITS EATERS. And what is the purpose of that itself? - [He states it] because he wishes to teach the controversy of R. Eliezer and R. Joshua. <br>
