Core Text
זָכָר — לְרַבּוֹת אֶת הַוָּלָד; נְקֵבָה — לְרַבּוֹת אֶת הַתְּמוּרָה; אִם זָכָר — לְרַבּוֹת וָלַד בַּעֲלֵי מוּמִין; אִם נְקֵבָה — לְרַבּוֹת תְּמוּרַת בַּעֲלֵי מוּמִין.

English: “Male” — to include the offspring; “female” — to include the temurah; “whether male” — to include offspring of blemished animals; “whether female” — to include temurah of blemished animals.

On the daf / in context: Four expansions from the four words im zachar im nekevah: offspring and substitute of unblemished and of blemished consecrated animals share shelamim sanctity.

Type of Learning

R’ Eliezer #1 (ריבוי) — each extra word includes another case.

What Is Learned

Offspring and substitutes of shelamim (even of blemished parents) are holy as shelamim.
