תמורה ה׳Temurah 5

Mishnah 1א׳

כֵּיצַד מַעֲרִימִים עַל הַבְּכוֹר. מְבַכֶּרֶת שֶׁהָיְתָה מְעֻבֶּרֶת, אוֹמֵר, מַה שֶּׁבְּמֵעֶיהָ שֶׁל זוֹ, אִם זָכָר, עוֹלָה, יָלְדָה זָכָר, יִקְרַב עוֹלָה. וְאִם נְקֵבָה, זִבְחֵי שְׁלָמִים, יָלְדָה נְקֵבָה, תִּקְרַב שְׁלָמִים. אִם זָכָר עוֹלָה, אִם נְקֵבָה זִבְחֵי שְׁלָמִים, יָלְדָה זָכָר וּנְקֵבָה, הַזָּכָר יִקְרַב עוֹלָה, וְהַנְּקֵבָה תִּקְרַב שְׁלָמִים:

How may one act cleverly [to circumvent the law] regarding a firstborn [animal]? [One owns] a pregnant animal about to give birth for the first time, and says, "Whatever is inside of this [animal], if it is a male, [it is dedicated] as an Olah [offering that is entirely burnt]" - if it gives birth to a male, it [the newborn animal] is offered as an Olah. [If he says,] "[If] it is a female, [it is dedicated] as a Shelamim [an offering whose various parts are consumed by its owners, the Kohanim and the fire on the altar]" - if it gives birth to a female, it is offered as a Shelamim. [If he says,] "[If] it is a male, [it is dedicated] as an Olah; if it is a female, [it is dedicated] as a Shelamim" - if it gives birth to a male and a female, the male is an Olah and the female a Shelamim.

Mishnah 2ב׳

יָלְדָה שְׁנֵי זְכָרִים, אַחַד מֵהֶן יִקְרַב עוֹלָה, וְהַשֵּׁנִי יִמָּכֵר לְחַיָּבֵי עוֹלָה, וְדָמָיו חֻלִּין. יָלְדָה שְׁתֵּי נְקֵבוֹת, אַחַת מֵהֶן תִּקְרַב שְׁלָמִים, וְהַשְּׁנִיָּה תִּמָּכֵר לְחַיָּבֵי שְׁלָמִים, וְדָמֶיהָ חֻלִּין. יָלְדָה טֻמְטוּם וְאַנְדְּרוֹגִינוֹס, רַבָּן שִׁמְעוֹן בֶּן גַּמְלִיאֵל אוֹמֵר, אֵין קְדֻשָּׁה חָלָה עֲלֵיהֶן:

If an animal gives birth to two males, one is offered as an Olah and the second is sold to one who needs to offer an Olah, and its payment is not holy. If it gave birth to two females, one is offered as a Shelamim and the second is sold to one who needs to offer a Shelamim, and the money is not holy. If it gave birth to a tumtum [person (or animal) with recessed sexual organs whose gender is therefore impossible to determine, presently, by external examination. It is halachically uncertain whether such is male or female], or an androginos [person (or animal) with both male and female sexual organs. It is halachically uncertain whether such is male, female or, perhaps, has a uniquely defined halachic gender], Rabban Shimon ben Gamliel says: holiness does not take effect regarding them.
