Mesorat%20hashas for Temurah 40:28
אמר רבא
in virtue of having prohibited before atonement,<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' And both animals are before us. We therefore fear that he might say that this one is for pasture and that for atonement, which is against the law. For since both animals are fit for guilt-offerings one animal cannot be specified as being condemned to pasture until the owner has atoned through the other animal. It is for this reason that, according to R. Eliezer, the animal is left to die even after atonement has taken place (R. Gershom) .');"><sup>19</sup></span>
