Reference for Bekhorot 89:48

עבדו רבנן היכירא כי היכי דלא לישרפו עלייהו תרומה וקדשים

But if this be so, then in the case where the additional finger is not counted with the others, it should also cause tent uncleanness? - The Rabbis made a distinction in order that terumah and consecrated ob jects might not be burnt [unnecessarily] on account of it.<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' Had every form of uncleanness been declared, including that of ohel, one might have been led to believe that an additional finger not in line is a genuine limb, and therefore terumah etc. might come to be wrongly burnt as a consequence.');">²⁷</span>
