Core Text — Pesachim 96b
״כֶּשֶׂב״ — לְרַבּוֹת אֶת הַפֶּסַח לָאַלְיָה.

English: “A sheep” — to include the pesach regarding the tail-fat.

In the sugya: The term “keseb” is read as a ribbuy that brings the pesach under the same alyah rule that applies to ordinary sheep shelamim.

Type of Learning

Ribbuy of pesach for alyah — the pesach’s alyah is offered with the emurim like a sheep shelamim.

What Is Learned

The pesach’s alyah is offered with the emurim like a sheep shelamim. The verse’s use of “keseb” is taken to include the pesach animal within the class of offerings whose tail-fat is removed and burned. The result is that the alyah of the pesach follows the same sacrificial procedure as the alyah of a regular sheep shelamim.
