Bekhorot 17: three things to remember
- Wool from an animal that resembles another species is invalid for ritual fringes and exempt from shaatnez and tzaraat garment uncleanness.
- When twin male lambs emerge simultaneously, Rabbi Tarfon awards the priest the fatter lamb, while Rabbi Akiva gives the leaner one.
- The Sages rule natural births cannot coincide simultaneously, debating whether human measurements can ever achieve exact equality.
