The Mishnah discussed the differences between, uh, dedicating an animal as a korban when it has a preexisting blemish, where it never gets that intrinsic kedusha because it has a blemish already.
In contrast to a case where you dedicate the animal as a korban and then it develops a blemish.
That's a classic case of pesulei hamukdashim, a animal that had intrinsic kedusha and then developed a blemish and became pasul.
Where things got very tricky was the offspring of such an animal.
What's the case that we are dealing with here? We are dealing with a case where the, uh, the animal was dedicated as a korban.
The animal developed a blemish, and then the animal has a child.
Okay, so when did the animal have a child? This is a question.
Let's go through the different options.
If the animal was dedicated, blemish, redeemed, fell pregnant, gave birth, that's definitely fine because it's just a chol animal that gave birth to an an-- a child.
That child has no kedusha whatsoever, no questions around that.
On the opposite extreme, if had-- was dedicated, had a blemish, fell pregnant and gave birth before you were able to redeem it, that is already a machloket nerabaita, where the-- there's a machloket where the offspring born before you redeemed the mother are fitting as a korban or only for grazing, i.e. they're-- they have this intrinsic kedusha, but you can't bring them as a korban because they were never dedicated as a korban themselves, and therefore you let them graze until they develop a blemish, and then you redeem them.
That is the case when the child is born before the mother's redeemed.
We now have a very important machloket Rav Huna and Rabbi Hanina in a slightly different case.
The mother's dedicated as a korban, develops a blemish, falls pregnant, and then you redeem her, and then she gives birth.
So at the time of the redemption, she is pregnant.
Catch twenty-two, stalemate, there's nothing you can do, and therefore you place it in a jail.
You put it in a chamber with no food and no water, and it starves to-- it's left to die, basically.
Meaning you can't actively kill it because it has some kedusha, so you passively leave it to die.
He explains why we stuck.
You can't bring it as a korban because mikor kedusha katu.
It only came from rejected sanctity.
Its mother already had a blemish, uh, and was redeemed when it was born.
