Core Text of Chazal

Core Text
וְאִם־זֶבַח שְׁלָמִים קָרְבָּנוֹ — מִכָּאן דְּבָעֵינַן זְבִיחָה לְשֵׁם שְׁלָמִים.

English: “And if a peace-offering slaughter is his offering” — from here [we learn] that we require the slaughter to be for the sake of shelamim.

On the daf / in context: Opening sugya of Zevachim: shechitah must be performed with the correct intent for that type of korban. The pairing zevach shelamim supplies the source for shelamim; parallel phrases do the same for other categories.

Type of Learning

Custom (superfluous zevach + named type → intent).

What Is Learned

A shelamim must be slaughtered as a shelamim — not under a different designation.
