——所以我们又学了一句:鸟须割一样管子的大半,牲口须两样管子各割大半;这是教明:每样记号各割大半,便够了。革玛拉问:既然照众贤之律也不算不合式,那么何必另有一位祭司把两样管子割完呢?大祭司既已把两样管子各割了大半,岂不就够了么?革玛拉答:虽然如此,按理当把那一宰割完,好叫血流得畅快;这是一条诫命。

革玛拉问:既然照众贤之律也不算不合式,那么何必另有一位祭司把两样管子割完呢?
The Gemara asks: And since there is not even an invalidation by rabbinic law, why do I need another priest to finish cutting the organs?

大祭司既已把两样管子各割了大半,岂不就够了么?
Why not suffice with the High Priest’s slaughter of the majority of each of the two organs?

革玛拉答:虽然如此,按理 当把那一宰割完,好叫血流得畅快;这是一条诫命。
The Gemara answers: It is nevertheless a mitzva to complete the slaughter ab initio to cause the blood to flow more freely.
