English: “The young of the herd before Hashem” — the animal must be before Hashem, but not necessarily the slaughterer before Hashem (e.g. long knife from outside).
In the sugya: “Before Hashem” attaches to the animal, not to the person holding the knife. A long knife can reach an animal standing inside while the slaughterer stands outside the line — and that can still be valid for the animal’s location requirement.
Type of Learning
Miyut from “before Hashem” — animal inside; slaughterer not necessarily inside.
What Is Learned
The sacrificial animal must stand inside the sacred precinct; the slaughterer may stand outside if the cut is effected on the animal within. “Before Hashem” is about the animal’s place, not the slaughterer’s feet.
