[If] two [animals] exited together, he counts them two by two. [If] he counted them as one, the ninth and tenth are ruined. [If] the ninth and tenth exited together, the ninth and tenth are ruined. [If] he called the ninth [animal] “tenth,” and the tenth one “ninth,” and the eleventh one “tenth,” [all] three of them are consecrated: The ninth may be eaten in its blemished [state], the tenth is maaser, and the eleventh is brought as a shelamim-offering and it can produce a temurah; [these are] the words of R’ Meir. Said R’ Yehudah: Can a temurah produce a temurah? They said in the name of R’ Meir: If it were a temurah, it would not be offered. [If] he called the ninth [one] “tenth,” the tenth [one] “tenth,” and the eleventh [one] “tenth,” the eleventh is not consecrated. This is the rule: As long as the designation “tenth” has not been uprooted from it, the eleventh one is not consecrated.
