Core Text
אַיָּל וּצְבִי וְיַחְמוּר וְאַקּוֹ וְדִישׁוֹן וּתְאוֹ וָזָמֶר — אֵלּוּ חַיּוֹת טְהוֹרוֹת; סִימָנֵי חַיָּה טְהוֹרָה: כָּל שֶׁיֵּשׁ לָהּ קַרְנַיִם וְטַלְפַּיִם.

English: “Deer, gazelle, roebuck…” — these are the clean wild animals; the signs of a clean wild animal are that it has horns and cloven hooves.

On the daf / in context: The list of seven wild species, together with the three domestic species of the preceding verse, supplies the ten clean land animals named by the Torah.

Type of Learning

Derash on the enumerated species (Chullin) — the Torah’s list defines the clean wild animals.

What Is Learned

The seven named wild animals are the clean chayot; their signs (horns and cloven hooves) distinguish them for the laws of chelev and covering the blood.
