Commentary for Zevachim 227:1
בשלמא רובע ונרבע משכחת ליה דאקדשינהו מעיקרא והדר רבעו
As for a roba' and a nirba', it is well: It is conceivable [that the other proof-text is required] where one fir consecrated them and then bestiality was committed with them.<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' Now, when it was consecrated, it was fit to come to the door of the tent of meeting and therefore the text, 'and hath not brought it' etc. may not exclude this case; for the first text might mean that if an animal was eligible when it was consecrated and then one slaughtered it without, he is liable, even if it was not eligible when it was slaughtered; hence the Mishnah quotes the other proof-text, 'to present it as an offering unto the Lord before the Tabernacle of the Lord'. This definitely excludes whatever is not actually fit to be offered.');"><sup>1</sup></span>
