Core Text of Chazal

Core Text
וְכׇל בְּהֵמָה – לְרַבּוֹת אֶת הַשִּׁלְיָא, יָכוֹל אֲפִלּוּ יָצְתָה מִקְצָתָהּ, תַּלְמוּד לוֹמַר אוֹתָהּ תֹּאכֵלוּ, אוֹתָהּ וְלֹא שִׁלְיָתָהּ.

English: “And every animal” — to include the afterbirth; one might have thought even if part of it emerged, therefore the verse says “it you may eat” — it, and not its afterbirth.

On the daf / in context: If part of the placenta emerged before the mother’s slaughter, the remaining portion and any fetus still inside become forbidden.

Type of Learning

Derash on the verse (Chullin) — partial emergence of the placenta renders it forbidden.

What Is Learned

If any part of the afterbirth emerged before the mother’s slaughter, that afterbirth is not permitted by the mother’s slaughter.
