Core Text — Menachos 91b
יָכוֹל הָאוֹמֵר הֲרֵי עָלַי עוֹלָה יָבִיא מִשְּׁנֵיהֶם? תַּלְמוּד לוֹמַר אִם עֹלָה קָרְבָּנוֹ מִן הַבָּקָר, וְאוֹמֵר וְאִם מִן הַצֹּאן — הֲרֵי עוֹלָה בָּאָה מִן הַבָּקָר לְבַד וּמִן הַצֹּאן לְבַד.

English: Might one who says “I am obligated to an olah” bring from both [species mixed]? The Torah says “if his offering is an olah from the herd” and “if from the flock” — an olah comes from the herd alone or from the flock alone.

In the sugya: Separate verses for bakar and tzon block a mixed fulfillment. A person who vowed “an olah” cannot discharge that vow by treating cattle and flock as interchangeable pieces of one offering. Each class stands alone.

Type of Learning

Two verses that separate the species — olah from bakar alone or from tzon alone.

What Is Learned

A vowed olah is fulfilled from one species class, not by combining cattle and flock as one offering. The Torah’s separate “if from the herd” / “if from the flock” frames force single-class fulfillment.
