Core Text of Chazal

Core Text — Zevachim 34a
״מִן הַבָּקָר וּמִן הַצֹּאן״ — מִן הַבָּקָר וּמִן הַצֹּאן וְלֹא חַיָּה.

English: “From the herd and from the flock” — from the herd and from the flock, and not a wild animal (chayah).

In the sugya: Specifying bakar and tzon is positive and negative at once: these domestic classes are in; chayah is out. A deer or other wild animal is not brought as the olah of this chapter even if it is a kosher species for the table.

Type of Learning

Miyut excluding chayah — only domestic herd and flock.

What Is Learned

Only domestic herd (bakar) and flock (tzon) are eligible for this korban. Wild animals (chayah) are excluded by the verse’s explicit species list. Kosher-for-eating is not the same as eligible-for-the-altar under this unit.
