Previous daf

Bechoros 57

1)

(a) The Mishnah writes that all animals enter the pen to have Ma'aser taken from them. Which eight cases are included in the word 'all'?

(b) Which four types of animals are precluded from entering the pen for Ma'aser?

(c) The above four are really written or hinted in the Parshah of Kodshim. How do we know that the exclusion applies to Ma'aser as well?

(d) What is the source for the exclusion of a Tereifah animal, and how do we know that it applies to all Kodshim?

2)
(a) Since our Tana holds of the Gezeirah Shavah of "Tachas Tachas", why does he not preclude those animals with which immoral acts were performed, and those which were worshipped - since all of them are disqualified from going on the Mizbe'ach?

(b) From where do we know to include a Mechir Kelev in the Din of Ma'aser?
