So he just said in the Gemara that people, humans, are able to give birth in a shortened amount of time, meaning the pregnancy does not have to go full term with full 30-day months.
It could be shorter than that, so now we discuss animals.
And this comes out with a story.
Rabbi Rashi was sitting in front of Rav, and Rav saw that he was Mivas, which literally means scared.
It means he was just worried, anxious about something.
So Amalai asked him, what's going on? Amalai responded, And I have to mate her with a male so that she doesn't cool off.
It's unclear what exactly was needed to be done, because if it was already pregnant, why does it need to be mated with a male? Either which way, he was worried about his donkey giving birth.
So Amalai Rav asked him, When was it that the male was mated with your donkey in the first place? So Amalai told him, On this and this day.
So Rav thought about it.
And then he told him, It needs up until this point.
Meaning, anyway, it's not time for it to give birth.
So you don't have to be worried.
And when Tony Kane was taught like this, meaning it's a long pregnancy, it's not going to give birth later than the days of a solar year, which is 365.
In other words, Rav was telling him, you don't have to be worried because your donkey is not going to give birth before day 354 of its pregnancy, so you have some time.
The following memory of Rav Yeshiva Levy is definitely not like what we just said.
They mated them with oxen from Rebbe's Some of them gave birth now, and some of them gave birth after time, which means even though the regular pregnancy of a large animal, such as a cow, is nine months, some of them gave birth earlier, some of them gave birth later.
So we see from here that Rav Shub HaLevi is not like what Rav is saying, because Rav said this donkey is going to give birth no earlier than 354 days, and no later than 365 days, and that's just an 11-day difference, so we see that they give birth on time, not in a very loose time period, like what seems like Rav Shub HaLevi is saying.
Answers to Gemara, actually they could be agreeing, it's just that they're referring to a kosher animal, though I was referring to a non-kosher animal.
Rav was dealing with a non-kosher animal that does not give birth earlier than 354 days, as opposed to kosher animals could give birth earlier than that.
As to Gemara, what do we mean? Do you know the time when the which literally means the mountain goats, do you know when they're going to give birth? Do you count the months when they become full to know when exactly they're going to give birth? Meaning we see that even kosher animals, mountain goats, they don't give birth early.
The next two words are not part of the Gersa, and the answer is, a kosher wild animal, which is a mountain goat that's considered a wild animal, and it's definitely not domestic, so that's like a non-kosher animal, so still they could all be agreeing.
