The Mishnah mentions a butcher's hatchet and not an ordinary slaughtering knife, because in the former case there is more need to make a place and a larger one, than in the case of a slaughtering knife. The same applies to the slaughtering of dedicated animals, but as these are slaughtered in the Temple court where there are special knives, there is no need to clear a place when slaughtering. Moreover the Mishnah mentions here the case of a firstling because the law of the firstling is observed even in our days and also because a firstling's wool is probably thicker than that of an ordinary sacrifice, since the owner must wait until it is blemished before he slaughters it (Tosaf) .');"><sup>9</sup></span> ON BOTH SIDES AND TEARS THE HAIR [ON BOTH SIDES]<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' In the place where the cut is to be made, in order to avoid haladah (passing the knife under cover) which would render the animal nebelah');"><sup>10</sup></span> PROVIDED HOWEVER THAT HE DOES NOT REMOVE THE WOOL FROM ITS PLACE<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' That it should not be said that he is shearing a firstling's wool, an action which is forbidden.
