Core Text
וְשִׁסַּע אֹתוֹ — אֹתוֹ כָּשֵׁר וְלֹא פָּסוּל; אֹתוֹ בְּשִׁסּוּעַ וְלֹא עוֹלַת בְּהֵמָה בְּשִׁסּוּעַ.

English: “And he shall split it” — “it,” a fit [offering] and not an unfit one; “it” by splitting, and not an animal olah by splitting.

Type of Learning

R’ Eliezer #2 (מיעוט) — “it” limits the act to a valid bird olah.

What Is Learned

Only a valid bird olah is split this way; an invalid offering is not, and animal olah is not split by this method.
