Core Text of Chazal

Core Text — Menachos 93b
״וְסָמַךְ… וְשָׁחַט״ — בְּמָקוֹם שֶׁסּוֹמְכִין שָׁם שׁוֹחֲטִין.

English: “And he shall lean… and slaughter” — in the place where they lean, there they slaughter (inside the Azarah).

In the sugya: Shared locus follows from shared sequence. Semicha is in the Azarah; shechitah of this olah is in the same precinct. The adjacent verbs teach not only time (tekef) but place.

Type of Learning

Shared locus from adjacent verbs — shechitah where semicha is done.

What Is Learned

Shechitah of the olah is performed in the same precinct as semicha — within the Temple court. Place tracks the pairing of the two acts in the Torah’s language.
