וָאֹמַ֗ר אֲהָהּ֙ אֲדֹנָ֣י יְהוִ֔ה הִנֵּ֥ה נַפְשִׁ֖י לֹ֣א מְטֻמָּאָ֑ה וּנְבֵלָ֨ה וּטְרֵפָ֤ה לֹֽא־אָכַ֙לְתִּי֙ מִנְּעוּרַ֣י וְעַד־עַ֔תָּה וְלֹא־בָ֥א בְּפִ֖י בְּשַׂ֥ר פִּגּֽוּל׃ (ס)
我說：「唉，主永恆者啊！看哪，我的靈魂從未被玷污；從我年幼直到如今，我從未吃過自死的或被野獸撕裂的動物，可憎的肉也從未入過我的口。」
Ein Yaakov (Glick Edition)
(Fol. 37b) It is written (Ez. 4, 14) Then said I, 'Oh, Lord God! Behold, my soul hath not been polluted; for from my youth up even till now have I not eaten of that which dieth of itself, or is torn of beasts; neither came there abhorred flesh into my mouth.' i.e., Behold, my soul has not been polluted. I allowed no impure thoughts to arise in me in the day-time, which should cause me uncleanliness during the nighttime. For from my youth up I have not eaten of that which dieth of itself; this means that meat of an animal about which one says cut, cut, i.e., meat of an animal hurriedly cut, because it threatens to die. Neither came there abhorred flesh into my mouth; this means that I have not eaten of an animal upon which is required the decision of a scholar [whether it is permitted to be eaten or not]. R. Nathan said: "It means that I have not eaten of an animal of which the priestly gifts were not set aside."
