Talmud su Esodo 12:21

“But the Sages say, small animals are taken possession of by drawing near.” What is the reason of the rabbis? “Draw near and take for yourselves small animals for your families⁴⁴³Ex. 12:21..” As Rav Jehudah sent to ask⁴⁴⁴As the later text shows, probably one should read here: “To ask R. Eleazar.” According to the Babli, Baba qama 11b, the messenger was Ulla.: By what means is possession of large animals established? He answered, by handing over; and asked, is that not the Mishnah? There are Tannaïm who switch the attributions⁴⁴⁵Obviously, Rav Jehudah was supposed to have studied the Mishnah. But he was not sure about the references to large and small domesticated animals and asked for the correct text from the Babylonian R. Eleazar in Galilee where the latter had access to the traditions of the school of Rebbi.. Rav Jehudah asked Rebbi Eleazar: If a firstborn became “torn” within thirty days⁴⁴⁶A firstborn son has to be redeemed (Ex. 13:13,34:20); this is specified in Num. 3:40,47 to apply to firstborn sons above the age of one month and the redemption money, 5 biblical šeqalim (Note 122), has to be given to a priest. A human who develops a defect which makes his long-term survival impossible is called “torn”, a term used in parallel with the talmudic interpretation of “torn” animals forbidden as food (Ex. 22:30).? He answered, he is as if dead⁴⁴⁷This parallels the rabbinic theory that a person who kills a “torn” human cannot be convicted of first-degree murder (Babli Sanhedrin 78a). In the Babli, Menaḥot 37a/b, the rule is derived from Num. 18:15 (cf. also Sifry Num. #118.) and free from the five tetradrachmas of a son. ⁴⁴⁸Niddah 3:4, Notes 103–104; the parallel in the Babli is Baba qama 11a. Rav Jehudah sent and asked Rebbi Eleazar: A placenta which was delivered partially today and partially tomorrow? He answered, for pure blood she counts from the first day, for impure blood from the second day. Rebbi Mattaniah said, that is, if no child was produced with it. But if there was a child, both for pure and impure blood she counts only from the moment of birth of the child.
