״מֵאַחַת מֵהֵנָּה״ — עַל כׇּל אַחַת וְאַחַת.

English: “From one of them” — for each and every one.

In the sugya: The language of “one of them” is read as allowing multiple independent liabilities when distinct prohibitions are violated under separate states of awareness.

Type of Learning

Multiple liabilities vs single chatas — each distinct prohibited act can generate its own chatas obligation when performed under separate awareness.

What Is Learned

Each distinct prohibited act can generate its own chatas obligation when performed under separate awareness. The verse’s “from one of them” is taken to teach that the chatas system is not limited to a single offering per person; successive, separately recognized violations can each obligate a chatas of their own.
