בכורות 21:1
Soncino English Talmud · Berean Standard Bible
May we say, therefore, that he holds that an animal which discharges, does not subsequently give birth in the year [of its discharging]? — [No], though you hold that an animal which discharges can give birth in the year [of its discharging], [you may still maintain that] if it gave birth, it cannot give birth again in the same year. Said R. Simeon: ‘I saw a she-kid etc.’ What is the difference between the first Tanna [quoted above in the Baraitha] and R. Simeon? — They differ in accepting or rejecting the dictum of Ze'iri. For Ze'iri said: The period of discharging [from the womb] is not less than thirty days. The first Tanna [in the above Baraitha] accepts Ze'iri's dictum, whereas R. Simeon does not accept Ze'iri's teaching. And if you wish [another solution]. I may say: All the authorities concerned agree with Ze'iri's dictum, but the difference between them is whether an animal can give birth before the due number of months is completed. The first Tanna [of the above Baraitha] holds that an animal cannot give birth before the due number of months is completed, whereas, according to R. Simeon, It can give birth before the due number of months is completed. And if you wish [still another solution] I may say: All [the authorities concerned] maintain that an animal does not give birth before the due number of months is completed, and the difference of opinion is whether a part of the day is considered as equivalent to the whole day. According to the first Tanna [above] we do not maintain that a part of the day is considered like a whole day, whereas, according to R. Simeon, we maintain that a part of the day is considered like a whole day. And if you wish [still another solution], I may say: All the authorities concerned agree that a part of the day is considered like the whole day, and the point at issue here is whether animals may enter the shed to be tithed before its due time. 9
