![]() It was taught in a Baraisa on Amud Beis, Shimon Haamsoni, and some say, Nechemyah Haamsoni,היה דורש כל אתים שבתורה – Would expound on every את in the Torah, teaching what it came to include,כיון שהגיע ל'את ה' אלקיך תירא" פירש – However, once he reached the pasuk, You shall revere, את, Hashem your G-d, he withdrew, and ceased from expounding the word את. Therefore, Rebbe Abahu’s rule does not apply to the gid hanasheh, because the Torah made a special dispensation permitting it. The Gemara answers that Rebbe Abahu holds, כשהותרה נבילה היא וחלבה וגידה הותרה – that when deriving benefit from a neveilah was permitted by the Torah, benefiting from the flesh of the carcass, its cheilev and its gid hanasheh were all permitted. We see from here that one can derive benefit from the gid hanasheh. The removal of the gid hanasheh from a whole thigh leaves an unmistakable marking, whose absence will alert the Jewish purchaser that the gid hanasheh remains. ![]() Rashi explains that we are not concerned that one who witnessed the transfer will buy this thigh from the nochri and eat it on the mistaken assumption that the gid hanasheh was already removed. Rebbe Yitzchok Nafcha challenged Rebbe Abahu’s rule from the case of the gid hanesheh, which is forbidden to eat yet it was taught in a Mishnah in Chullin, שולח אדם ירך לנכרי וגיד הנשה בתוכו – A person may send to a nochri an animal thigh with the gid hanasheh in it, מפני שמקומו ניכר – because its place is discernable. The Gemara brings several challenges to Rebbe Abahu’s rule. אותו אתה משליך לכלב – From here we infer that it, referring to the flesh of the treifah, you may cast it to the dog,ואי אתה משליך לכלב כל איסורין שבתורה – but you may not cast to the dog all other prohibited substances that are enumerated in the Torah. Rebbe Yehudah derives this principle from the passuk regarding a treifah which states, ובשר בשדה טרפה לא תאכלו לכלב תשלכון אתו – You shall not eat the flesh of an animal that was torn in the field, to the dog you shall cast it. This implies that if the Torah had not explicitly permitted deriving benefit from it, getting hana’ah would be prohibited. According to Rebbe Meir this principle is learned from the prohibition of neveilah where the Torah permits giving it to a ger or selling it to a nochri. On Daf 21b the Gemara introduced Rebbe Abahu’s position that where the Torah states a prohibition regarding eating, an issur hana’ah is included, unless the Torah states otherwise such as in the case of a neveilah. Two sources that indicate an issur hana’ah is included in food prohibitions
