daf bit: Temurah 29

A mishna on the previous page listed animals that are unfit for the altar (and that transmit that unfitness to other animals, apparently). This list included "a harlot's hire". A mishna on today's daf expands on this. If one says to a harlot "take this lamb for your hire", even if there are a hundred lambs they are all forbidden. The g'mara asks about the hundred lambs. This means he offered one lamb as her price and then gave her a hundred lambs, they are all forbidden because they all came by reason of the hire. (29a)

New tractate next week.
