23 And it was found to be a shaggy goat.<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' With long lumps of hair and long depending ears.');"><sup>31</sup></span> Said R'Hisda: A goat which has no horns and a ewe which has horns are fit for the altar. So indeed it has been taught: There are some defects [in a firstling] which appear like blemishes but are not actually blemishes and in consequence of which we slaughter the animal in the Temple<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' Because they are not regarded as disqualifying blemishes.');"><sup>32</sup></span> but not without the Temple. And they are the following: A goat which has no horns and an ewe which has horns, a zimmeah, a zummum and a zomea'.<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' These three terms have been explained above in the GEMARA:');"><sup>33</sup></span> R'Hisda reported in the name of Abimi: If its horns together with the bony inside [of the horns] have been removed, the animal is unfit for the altar, but may not be redeemed by reason of it.<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' If it is a consecrated animal and not a first-born.

The following was cited in contradiction: If a [red] heifer has horns and hoofs whic are black, let him lop off [the black top of the horns and hoofs]. - Explain this as follows: [The lopping off] is from the top part of their bony inside.<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' There is at the point of the horn, on the top, a piece of two or three finger-breadths to which the bony inside does not extend; if then the black did not reach the bony inside, he may lop it off, and this does not make the animal blemished.');"><sup>40</sup></span> [
