9 [1] THE FAT THEREOF, THE FAT TAIL ENTIRE. The meaning of *chelbo ha-alyah temimah* (the fat thereof, the fat tail entire) is, the fat as it is, for the tail is called fat. The Sadducees, as I will explain to you in the next Torah portion, err. The Gaon also errs, for he says that *chelbo haalyah* is to be interpreted as the fat thereof and the tail. The latter is contrary to the rules of grammar, for the phrase should have read *chelbo ve-alyato* (its fat and its tail) or *hachelev ve-ha-alyah* (and its tail and its fat).
[2] THE RUMP-BONE. The meaning of *atzeh* (rump-bone) is known from its context. It has no brother. There is a commentator who far-fetchedly connected it to the word *etz* (tree).
