לָקַח בְּכוֹר לְמִשְׁתֵּה בְנוֹ אוֹ לָרֶגֶל וְלֹא צָרִיךְ לוֹ, מֻתָּר לְמָכְרוֹ. צָדֵי חַיָּה עוֹפוֹת וְדָגִים שֶׁנִּזְדַּמְּנוּ לָהֶם מִינִים טְמֵאִין, מֻתָּרִים לְמָכְרָן. רַבִּי יְהוּדָה אוֹמֵר, אַף מִי שֶׁנִּתְמַנָּה לוֹ לְפִי דַרְכּוֹ, לוֹקֵחַ וּמוֹכֵר, וּבִלְבַד שֶׁלֹּא תְהֵא אֻמָּנוּתוֹ בְכָךְ. וַחֲכָמִים אוֹסְרִין:

[If one] bought a [blemished] firstborn animal for his son's [wedding] feast or for a pilgrimage festival but didn't need it, he is allowed to sell it. Trappers of wild animals, birds or fish that happen [to trap] impure species [of animals] are allowed to sell them. Rabbi Yehudah says: Even someone who came across [an impure species] may take and sell it as long as this is not his [primary] business. But the Sages forbade [this].
