2\. The difference between how פסולי מוקדשין are sold vs. how bechor and מעשר בהמה are sold 3\. Selling מעשר בהמה through הבלעה
We are still, remember, Prakim 2 through 6 discuss the Bechorot Dinim pertaining to the kosher species of Bechor.
So we go on a bit of a tangent here.
Not really a tangent.
But basically, there are some times when you can sell the meat of an animal that was once Kadosh or that is Kadosh.
And the question is, how do you sell the meat where you find the right balance between getting the money, but also giving it the respect that it deserves? So we're going to discuss, there's three, I would say three categories that I want to put them in.
There's regular Corbinauts.
Then there is b'chor, the firstborn.
And then there is ma'aser.
Now, I'm going to use the word ma'aser throughout the shiur.
Ma'aser just means the tenth animal, meaning the din of ma'aser.
When you tie your animals, you put them all in a pen, you take them out one by one, the tenth one is ma'aser.
Those are the three categories because they have very different dinim.
Regular korbanot, if there's no blemish, you can't redeem them.
Once there's a blemish, you're allowed to redeem them.
The meat can be eaten, like regular meat.
Now, Bechor and Maaser, it's different, because there, if they get a blemish and you sell them, the money doesn't go to the Beit HaMikdash, or it doesn't go towards another korban.
It goes to the owners, and therefore there are restrictions around how to sell it.
We don't necessarily want you to maximize how much money you're getting.
We want you to give it the respect it deserves, right? There's a tension basically between maximizing the revenue from selling this meat, but that comes at a cost of the lack of cover, of honor that the meat deserves.
Because if you're maximizing revenue, you're probably treating it like all the other meat in the butcher.
in the way you are selling it.
All of the money that you're getting from redeeming it ultimately goes to the Beit HaMikdash because you're going to buy another korban with it.
