English Explanation of Mishnah Niddah
Whatever [beast] is subject to the laws of the first of the fleece is also subject to that of the priestly gifts.
But there may be [a beast] that is subject to the law of the priestly gifts and not to that of the first of the fleece.
There are two mitzvot mentioned in this mishnah: the "first of the fleece" and "priestly gifts." A person must give the first of the fleece that he shears to the priest. When he offers a sacrifice that doesn't entirely go to the priest, he gives the priest the shoulder, the cheeks and the stomach the "priestly gifts." Only female sheep are liable to the first of the fleece, but all beasts offered as a sacrifice are liable for the priestly gifts.
