Midrash for Chullin 269:25
אי בקדשי מזבח הכי נמי הכא במאי עסקינן בקדשי בדק הבית
but we were referring to animals consecrated to the Temple treasury.<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' These consecrated animals may be shorn, and therefore a scriptural indication must be resorted to in order to exclude them from the law of the first of the fleece.');"><sup>14</sup></span>
Sifrei Devarim
"your flock": and not that of others (i.e., of gentiles [that you have purchased]). From here it was ruled that one who purchases the shearing of a flock belonging to gentiles is exempt from the (obligation of) the first of the shearing. The shearing of his flock (that he purchased) from his neighbor — if the seller left over (of the shearing itself) for himself, the seller is liable (for the first of the shearing); if he did not, (i.e., if he told the buyer: The first of the shearing of the Cohein is with you), the buyer is liable.

Sifrei Devarim
"shall you give to him": There must be enough for a gift — whence they ruled: How much does he give him? The weight of five selaim in Yehudah, which is ten in the Galil, cleansed, for the making of a small garment.
