25 โ[1] ืืืืืืชื ืืื ืืืืื ืืืืจื ืืืืื YE SHALL THEREFORE DISTINGUISH BETWEEN CLEAN BEASTS AND UNCLEAN โ It is needless for Scripture to say that one should distinguish between a cow and an ass for these are different and are therefore distinguishable. But it means: you shall distinguish between such an animal as is clean (permitted) to you and such as is unclean (forbidden) to you although it is a clean animal per se, i.e., make a distinction between an animal which has been killed by cutting at least the greater part of each organ (the gullet and the windpipe) or whether it has been killed by cutting exactly the half of each organ. And how much difference is there between the greater part and the exact half? A hairโs breadth only (and consequently the command is given: ืืืืืืชื, โyou shall very carefully distinguishโ) (Sifra, Kedoshim, Chapter 12 20; cf. also Rashi on Leviticus 11:47 and Chullin 27a).
โ[2] ืืฉืจ ืืืืืชื ืืื ืืืื WHICH I HAVE SEPARATED FOR YOU TO DECLARE THEM UNCLEAN โ This means, to declare them as forbidden.
