Midrash for Bekhorot 67:19
הלכה כר"ש
R'Joshua holds the interpretation is: The terumah that is fit [to be eaten] by 'thee', protect from further uncleanness, whereas that which is not fit for thee, thou needest not protect.
Sifrei Devarim
(Devarim 14:3) "You shall not eat any abomination": R. Eliezer says: Whence is it derived that if one slit the ear of a bechor (a first-born beast, thus blemishing it) and ate of it (the beast, after slaughtering it), he transgresses a negative commandment? From "You shall not eat any abomination."
