Core Text — Meilah 15a
״כׇּל חֵלֶב לַיהֹוָה״ — כׇּל לְרַבּוֹת אֵימוּרֵי קֳדָשִׁים קַלִּים לִמְעִילָה.

English: “All fat is Hashem’s” — “all” includes the emurim of kodashim kalim for the law of meilah.

In the sugya: The inclusive word “all” is read as extending the prohibition of meilah to the sacrificial portions of lesser sanctity offerings.

Type of Learning

Ribbuy of meilah on shelamim emurim — one is liable for meilah on the emurim of shelamim (kodashim kalim).

What Is Learned

One is liable for meilah on the emurim of shelamim (kodashim kalim). Although shelamim are of lesser sanctity, the Torah’s “all fat is Hashem’s” is taken to bring their sacrificial portions under the law of misappropriation. The result is that unauthorized benefit from those emurim incurs the liability of meilah.
