Halacha 1א׳

כֵּיצַד דִּין וַלְדוֹת הַקָּדָשִׁים. וְלַד שְׁלָמִים וּוְלַד תְּמוּרַת שְׁלָמִים הֲרֵי אֵלּוּ כִּשְׁלָמִים וְהֵן עַצְמָן כִּשְׁלָמִים לְכָל דָּבָר. וְכֵן וְלַד הַתּוֹדָה וּוְלַד תְּמוּרָתָהּ הֲרֵי אֵלּוּ יִקָּרְבוּ כְּתוֹדָה אֶלָּא שֶׁאֵינָן טְעוּנִין לֶחֶם שֶׁאֵין מְבִיאִין לֶחֶם אֶלָּא עִם הַתּוֹדָה עַצְמָהּ. שֶׁנֶּאֱמַר (ויקרא ז יב) "עַל זֶבַח הַתּוֹדָה" עָלָיו וְלֹא עַל וְלָדָהּ וְלֹא עַל תְּמוּרָתָהּ כְּמוֹ שֶׁבֵּאַרְנוּ. בַּמֶּה דְּבָרִים אֲמוּרִים בַּוְּלָדוֹת עַצְמָן אֲבָל וַלְדֵי וְלָדוֹת אֵינָן קְרֵבִין. שֶׁמִּתּוֹךְ מַעֲשָׂיו נִכָּר שֶׁהוּא מַשְׁהֶה אוֹתָן לְגַדֵּל מֵהֶן עֲדָרִים עֲדָרִים וּלְפִיכָךְ קוֹנְסִין אוֹתוֹ וְלֹא יַקְרִיבֵם:

How is the law of the offspring of consecrated animals? The offspring of a peace-offering and the offspring of a substitute for a peace-offering are as peace-offerings, and they themselves are as peace-offerings in every respect. And so too the offspring of a thanksgiving-offering and the offspring of its substitute are offered as a thanksgiving-offering, save that they do not require bread, since one brings bread only with the thanksgiving-offering itself, as it is said (Leviticus 7:12), "upon the sacrifice of the thanksgiving" — upon it, and not upon its offspring and not upon its substitute, as we have explained. When do these words apply? To the offspring themselves; but the offspring of offspring are not offered, since from his acts it is evident that he is keeping them back in order to raise flocks upon flocks from them, and therefore they penalise him and he shall not offer them.

Halacha 2ב׳

וְלַד הַחַטָּאת יָמוּת וְאֵין צָרִיךְ לוֹמַר וְלַד תְּמוּרָתָהּ:

The offspring of a sin-offering is killed [without being sacrificed] and it goes without saying [that the same is true for] the offspring of its replacement as well.

Halacha 3ג׳

הַשּׁוֹחֵט אֶת הַחַטָּאת וּמָצָא בָּהּ בֶּן אַרְבָּעָה חַי הֲרֵי זוֹ נֶאֱכֶלֶת כִּבְשַׂר הַחַטָּאת. שֶׁוַּלְדֵי הַקָּדָשִׁים בִּמְעֵי אִמָּן הֵם קְדוֹשִׁים:

If one who slaughters a sin-offering finds inside it a live four-month old fetus, it may be eaten like the meat of the offering itself since fetal sacrificial animals are holy.
