אם זכר אם נקבה תמים יקריבנו

English: Whether male or female, he shall offer it unblemished.

Type of Learning

Explicit permission for either gender — unlike the olah of the herd, which is male only.

What Is Learned

A shelamim from cattle may be male or female, but must be tamim (without blemish). This is a major practical difference from the olah.
