English: “And he shall lean… and slaughter” — this teaches that slaughter follows immediately after leaning (semicha).
In the sugya: Adjacent verbs imply consecutive acts. A significant interruption between semicha and shechitah breaks the model the Torah presents. Tekef li-semicha shechitah is the rule of sequence.
Type of Learning
Sequence from adjacent verbs — shechitah immediately after semicha.
What Is Learned
Semicha and shechitah are consecutive: one does not interrupt with a significant delay between leaning and slaughter. The Torah’s pairing of the two acts is the source of that immediacy.
