וְאִילּוּ בְּפַר הֶעְלֵם דָּבָר לֹא נֶאֱמְרוּ.

English: And they are not said of the communal bull of a forgotten law.

In the sugya: The contrast is completed by noting the absence of the same listing for the communal offering.

Type of Learning

Absence of listing for communal bull — the yoteret and kidneys are not listed for the communal bull of a forgotten law.

What Is Learned

The yoteret and kidneys are not listed for the communal bull of a forgotten law. The Gemara’s contrast underscores that the fuller enumeration belongs specifically to the High Priest’s section. This distinction in biblical language is preserved as a marker of the different formal identities of the two offerings even when both involve similar sacrificial portions.
