English: “From the animal” — to exclude an animal that cohabited or was cohabited with; “from the herd” — to exclude one that was worshiped; “from the flock” — to exclude one set aside (muktzeh) [for idolatry]; and “from the flock” — to exclude a goring animal.
In the sugya: Each species phrase is a separate miyut. The Torah did not need three parallel “from…” clauses merely for style; each carves out a class of animal that is biologically of the right kind but disqualified by history — sexual corruption, idolatrous use, dedication to idolatry, or lethal goring.
Type of Learning
Series of miyutim from the species phrases — form is not enough; history can disqualify.
What Is Learned
These categories are unfit for the altar even though they are animals of the named species: an animal used for bestiality (rovea/nirva), one that was worshiped (ne’evad), one set aside for idolatry (muktzeh), and a goring animal (noggach). The verse’s repeated “from…” is the source of those exclusions.
