א אלא מן החולין וביום ובידו הימנית אף עולת העוף אינה באה אלא מן החולין וביום ובידו הימנית

ב אי מה להלן ברוב שנים אף כאן ברוב שנים
2 [must be sacrificed] by day, and [all the services in connection therewith must be performed] with the [priest's] right hand, so, too, the burnt-offering of a bird must be brought only from unconsecrated birds, must be sacrificed by day, and, [all the services in connection therewith must be performed] with the [priest's] right hand.

3 But then it should follow that just as in the former case [one has only to cut] the greater portion of both organs,<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' For slaughtering does not require more than this, v. infra 27a.');"><sup>2</sup></span>
ד (ויקרא א, טו) ומלק והקטיר מה הקטרה הראש בעצמו והגוף בעצמו אף מליקה הראש בעצמו והגוף בעצמו
4 so in the latter case [one has only to nip off] the greater portion of both organs?
ה רבי ישמעאל אומר
5 There is, therefore, another text which reads: And he shall nip off.
ו כמשפט כמשפט חטאת העוף מה חטאת העוף ממול עורף אף עולת העוף ממול עורף
6 and he shall burn it,<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' Lev. I, 15.');"><sup>3</sup></span>

7 from which one can draw the following conclusion: as for the purposes of burning the head must be separate from the body,<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' For the expression, 'And he shall burn it' is repeated in this passage (vv. 15 and 27) , indicating that there must be two separate burnings, one of the head of the bird and the other of the body.');"><sup>4</sup></span>
ח תלמוד לומר
8 so, too, in nipping the head shall be made separate from the body.<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' I.e., both organs must be absolutely severed. It is this opinion expressed here anonymously which has been repeatedly referred to previously as the view of the Rabbis.');"><sup>5</sup></span>
ט (ויקרא א, ה) והקריבו
9 R'Ishmael says: 'According to the ordinance' means, according to the ordinance prescribed for the sin-offering of a bird; thus, as the nipping of the head of the sin-offering of a bird must be done close to the back of the neck, so, too' the nipping of the head of the burnt-offering of a bird must be done close to the back of the neck.<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' This inference is necessary, since the Law does not specify in the case of a freewill burnt-offering of a bird the place where the nipping must be done.');"><sup>6</sup></span>
י רבי אלעזר ברבי שמעון אומר
10 But then it should follow, should it not, that as in the former case one must nip through only one organ without severing the other,<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' For in connection with the sin-offering of a bird the Torah adds: And he shall not divide it asunder (Lev. I, 17) . Therefore the priest is not allowed to nip off any more than is necessary to render the bird valid i.e., one organ.');"><sup>7</sup></span>
יא (ויקרא ה, י) כמשפט כמשפט חטאת העוף מה להלן
11 so in the latter case one must nip through only one organ without severing the other? It is, therefore, written: And he shall bring it near.<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' The pronoun it specifically distinguishes the freewill burnt-offering of a bird from other similar sacrifices.');"><sup>8</sup></span> R'Eleazar son of R'Simeon says: 'According to the ordinance' means, according to the ordinance of the sin-offering of a bird; thus, as in the latter case
