Core Text of Chazal

Core Text
וְכָל בְּהֵמָה מַפְרֶסֶת פַּרְסָה וְשֹׁסַעַת שֶׁסַע שְׁתֵּי פְרָסוֹת מַעֲלַת גֵּרָה — עַד שֶׁיִּהְיוּ בָהּ שְׁלֹשָׁה סִימָנִים הַלָּלוּ אֵינָהּ מֻתֶּרֶת בַּאֲכִילָה.

English: “And every animal that has a split hoof and has a hoof cloven into two hoof sections, [and] chews the cud” — until it possesses these three signs it is not permitted for eating.

On the daf / in context: Sifrei requires the full triad of signs (split hoof, completely cloven, and cud-chewing) before the animal is permitted. The absence of any one sign leaves the animal forbidden.

Type of Learning

Derash on the cumulative requirements (Sifrei) — three distinct signs must all be present.

What Is Learned

An animal is permitted only when it has a completely split hoof and chews the cud; any missing sign renders it forbidden.
