הָאֵבָר וְהַבָּשָׂר הַמְדֻלְדָּלִין בִּבְהֵמָה, מְטַמְּאִין טֻמְאַת אֳכָלִין בִּמְקוֹמָן, וּצְרִיכִין הֶכְשֵׁר. נִשְׁחֲטָה בְהֵמָה, הֻכְשְׁרוּ בְדָמֶיהָ, דִּבְרֵי רַבִּי מֵאִיר. רַבִּי שִׁמְעוֹן אוֹמֵר, לֹא הֻכְשָׁרוּ. מֵתָה הַבְּהֵמָה, הַבָּשָׂר צָרִיךְ הֶכְשֵׁר. הָאֵבָר מְטַמֵּא מִשּׁוּם אֵבָר מִן הַחַי וְאֵינוֹ מְטַמֵּא מִשּׁוּם אֵבַר נְבֵלָה, דִּבְרֵי רַבִּי מֵאִיר. וְרַבִּי שִׁמְעוֹן מְטַהֵר:

Members, or pieces of flesh which had been forcibly torn off a [live] animal, but which are yet pendant to it, are subject to contract and communicate pollution like other edibles, while they remain thus pendant in their place, but require the susceptibility of contracting pollution to be communicated to them, before they contract it. When the animal was slaughtered they may contract pollution by its blood, according to R. Meir, but R. Simeon saith, "They do not thereby contract it." When the animal dies of itself, it requires the susceptibility of contracting pollution to be communicated to it before it is unclean. The [pendulous] member does, however, pollute as a member taken off an animal while yet alive, but not as Nebelah. Such is the dictum of R. Meir; but R. Simeon saith, "That member or the pieces of flesh [above mentioned] are clean."
