Core Text — Zevachim 35b

אַלְיָה שֶׁל כֶּשֶׂב קְרֵבָה, שֶׁל עֵז אֵינָהּ קְרֵבָה.

English: The tail-fat of a sheep is offered; that of a goat is not offered.

In the sugya: The distinction between sheep and goat with respect to the alyah is derived from the Torah’s differential treatment of the two animals in the shelamim section.

Type of Learning

Alyah of sheep vs. goat — the tail-fat of a sheep is offered; that of a goat is not.

What Is Learned

The tail-fat of a sheep is offered; that of a goat is not. The Gemara records the practical consequence of the Torah’s separate treatment of the sheep and the goat in the shelamim chapter: only the sheep’s alyah is removed and burned with the other emurim. The goat’s corresponding fat remains outside the sacrificial requirement.
