Bekhorot 25: three things to remember
- Hand-plucking hair to inspect a blemish or make room for the slaughtering knife is fully permitted ab initio on a firstborn.
- Akavya ben Mahalalel and the Rabbis debate whether wool shed from a blemished firstborn before slaughter remains forbidden for use.
- Rabbi Yoḥanan explains that an unlocated blemished animal in a herd resembles an unlocated grave in an excavated field.
