Core Text — Pesachim 96b
״וְאִם עֵז קָרְבָּנוֹ״ — לִמֵּד עַל הָעֵז שֶׁאֵינָהּ טְעוּנָה הַקְרָבַת אַלְיָה.

English: “And if a goat is his offering” — this teaches that a goat does not require offering of the alyah.

In the sugya: The separate introduction of the goat is read as excluding the alyah requirement that applies to the sheep.

Type of Learning

Miyut of alyah for goat — a goat shelamim has no alyah among its emurim.

What Is Learned

A goat shelamim has no alyah among its emurim. The Torah’s distinct formulation for the goat is taken to teach that the tail-fat that is offered from a sheep is not required from a goat. The result is a clear distinction between the two animals in the list of sacrificial portions.
