Reish Lakish brings a case of someone eating pigul and notar at the same time and says that one can’t get lashes for that. The gemara makes 3 assumptions about Reish Lakish’s opinion but then questions one of them and rejects it. The gemara also questions Reish Lakish based on our mishna and concludes that our mishna holds by Rabbi Yehuda and Reish Lakish holds like the rabbis. The gemara then brings a contradiction between 2 sources relating to Rabbi Yehuda’s opinion. The argument mentioned at the end of the mishna between Rabbi Eliezer and tanna kamma is also explained – 2 opinions are brought to explain what is the basis of their argument.

If a guilt offering and a peace offering get mixed up, there is a debate whether or not they can be brought and treated as the more stringent of the two regarding time/place requirements or whether they need to be left to graze so as to not create a situation where we are creating a situation in which holy items that otherwise would not be disqualified can now potentially be disqualified. Rabbi Shimon’s opinion, which allows this, is questioned. Rava thinks that he only allows in if the situation already exists but not lechatchila. Abaya brings several sources to question this assumption of Rava. Rav Yosef questions Abaye – why he didn’t bring another source against Rava.

The gemara provides two answers to the question on the mishna of why the problematic animal is not canceled out in a group of other animals according to Rabbi Yochanan who thinks that only items that are sold exclusively by item are not canceled in a mixture? A suggestion is made regarding laws relating to probabilities – why can’t we separate one animal at a time and claim that each time it emerged from a majority of good animals? A discussion ensues regarding laws of probabilities. Rava claims that since the animal is not canceled out, if any of the animals in the mixture are brought on the altar, they do not provide atonement and a new sacrifice must be brought in its place. This assumption is also questioned.
