Mishnayos Temurah Perek 7 Mishnah 4

תמורה פרק ז׳ משנה ד׳

4
And these are the items that are buried from which deriving benefit is forbidden: In the case of a sacrificial animal that miscarried, the fetus shall be buried. If the animal miscarried a placenta, the placenta shall be buried. And the same halakha applies to an ox that is stoned for killing a person; and a heifer whose neck is broken when a corpse is found between two cities and the killer is unknown; and the birds brought by a leper for purification; and the hair of a nazirite who became ritually impure, who shaves his head before beginning a new term of naziriteship. And the same halakha applies to the firstborn of a donkey that, if it is not redeemed with a sheep, has its neck broken; and a forbidden mixture of meat cooked in milk; and non-sacred animals that were slaughtered in the Temple courtyard. Rabbi Shimon says: Non-sacred animals that were slaughtered in the Temple courtyard shall be burned, like sacrificial animals that were disqualified in the courtyard. And likewise, an undomesticated animal that was slaughtered in the Temple courtyard, although it is not similar to the animals sacrificed in the Temple, shall be burned by rabbinic decree.

וְאֵלּוּ הֵן הַנִּקְבָּרִים. קָדָשִׁים שֶׁהִפִּילוּ, יִקָּבְרוּ. הִפִּילָה שִׁלְיָא, תִּקָּבֵר. שׁוֹר הַנִּסְקָל, וְעֶגְלָה עֲרוּפָה, וְצִפֳּרֵי מְצֹרָע, וּשְׂעַר נָזִיר, וּפֶטֶר חֲמוֹר, וּבָשָׂר בְּחָלָב, וְחֻלִּין שֶׁנִּשְׁחֲטוּ בָעֲזָרָה. רַבִּי שִׁמְעוֹן אוֹמֵר, חֻלִּין שֶׁנִּשְׁחֲטוּ בָעֲזָרָה, יִשָּׂרְפוּ, וְכֵן חַיָּה שֶׁנִּשְׁחֲטָה בָעֲזָרָה:

ואלו הן הנקברין – these are because of the prohibition of deriving benefit.

הפילה שליא תקבר – for there is no after-birth/placenta without the offspring.

ושער נזיר – for if the hair of the Nazirite was pure when he shaves on the day of his fulfillment of the days of his Nazirite [vow], it is through burning and not through burial.

חולין שנשחטו בעזרה ישרפו – because they exchange Holy Things that occurred to them disqualifying defilement or the disqualification of a remnant, and they errored to state regarding them also that they should be buried, but we derive from what is written regarding a sin-offering/purification offering (Leviticus 6:23): “[But no purification offering may be eaten from which any blood is brought into the Tent of Meeting for expiation in the sanctuary;] any such shall be consumed in fire,” that teaches on all the disqualified things that are in holiness that they are burned, therefore, non-consecrated animals that were slaughtered in the Temple courtyard are also through burning.

וכן חיה שנשחטה בעזרה – and even though that wildlife one does not make a decree about for perhaps they erred to bury disqualified Holy Things, for the entire world knows that there is no wildlife among the Holy Things, and they don’t come to be exchanged, even such should be burned. But the Halakha is not according to Rabbi Shimon.

ואלו הן הנקברים. משום דאיסורי הנאה נינהו:

הפילה שליא תקבר. דאין שליא בלא ולד:

ושער נזיר. טמא. דאילו שער נזיר טהור כשמגלח ביום מלאת ימי נזרו, בשריפה הוא ולא בקבורה:

חולין שנשחטו בעזרה ישרפו. משום דמחלפי בקדשים שאירע בהם פסול טומאה או פסול נותר, וטעו למימר בהו נמי יקברו, ואנן ילפינן מדכתיב בחטאת באש תשרף, לימד על כל פסולים שבקודש בשריפה, הלכך חולין שנשחטו בעזרה נמי בשריפה:

וכן חיה שנשחטה בעזרה. ואע״ג דחיה ליכא למגזר בה דלמא טעו לקבור קדשים פסולים דהא כולי עלמא ידעי דחיה במוקדשים ליכא ולא אתי לאחלופי, אפילו הכי תשרף. ואין הלכה כר׳ שמעון:
