Halakhah for Pesachim 45:11
ולחזקיה למה לי למיכתב לא יאכל ומייתי לכם למישרייה לא לכתוב רחמנא לא יאכל ולא בעי לכם אמר לך חזקיה טעמא דידי נמי מהכא
yet we learned: Hunters of beasts, birds, and fish, who chance upon unclean species, are permitted to sell them to Gentiles? -There it is different, because Scripture saith, [they are a detestable thing] unto you:<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' Ibid. 10.');"><sup>21</sup></span> it shall be yours. If so, [it should be permitted] at the very outset too?<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' To hunt unclean animals, whereas the Mishnah merely permits selling if they happened to trap them.');"><sup>22</sup></span>
Sefer HaChinukh
That no foreigner eat priestly tithe: That no foreigner (non-priest) eat priestly tithe, as it is stated (Leviticus 22:10), "And any foreigner shall not eat the holy." And the received (traditional) understanding (Pesachim 23a) came that this "holy" is only the priestly tithe and anything that is called priestly tithe (terumah), but it does not come here to warn about other types of holy things. And that which is also called priestly tithe is the first fruits, as they, may their memory be blessed, expound from the tradition (Pesachim 36b), "'And the terumah of your hand' (Deuteronomy 12:17) - these are the first fruits."
