Core Text — Zevachim 85b
״אֶת הַכֹּל״ — לְרַבּוֹת אֶת הַצֶּמֶר שֶׁבְּרָאשֵׁי כְּבָשִׁים וְשֵׂעָר שֶׁבְּזַקְן תְּיָשִׁים.

English: “The whole” — to include the wool on the heads of sheep and the hair of the beards of goats.

In the sugya: “The whole” is broader than flesh alone. Residual wool on a sheep’s head and hair on a goat’s beard ride up with the offering; they are not peeled off as foreign matter.

Type of Learning

Ribbuy from “the whole” — wool and goat-beard hair included.

What Is Learned

Even residual wool and goat-beard hair on the head of an olah go up with the offering on the altar. “The whole” is the inclusive term that carries them.
