Temurah 3:2-3

Temurah 3:2

The offspring and temurah of thanksgiving offerings, plus their offspring and their offspring’s offspring ad infinitum, are all like thanksgiving offerings except that they need be accompanied by a flour offering. The temurah of burnt offerings, the offspring of the temurah, and the offspring’s offspring ad infinitum are all like burnt offerings: they must be skinned, cut up, and burned in their entirety.

Temurah 3:3

If a person designates a female animal as a burnt offering (which must be male) and it gives birth to a male, the offspring must graze until it develops a blemish, at which point it is sold and the proceeds are used to bring a burnt offering. Rabbi Elazar says that the offspring itself may be offered. If a person designates a female animal as a guilt offering (which must be male), it must graze until it develops a blemish, at which point it is sold and the proceeds are used to bring a guilt offering. If he offered a different animal in place of the female, then the proceeds are used to bring a freewill offering (nedava). Rabbi Shimon says that the female may be sold even without developing a blemish. The temurah of guilt offerings, the offspring of the temurah, and the offspring’s offspring ad infinitum must be left to graze until they develop a blemish, at which point they are sold and the proceeds used to bring a freewill offering; Rabbi Eliezer says they must be left to die. Rabbi Elazar says that one uses the proceeds to bring a burnt offering. If the owner of a guilt offering dies or brings another animal as his sacrifice, the animal must graze until it develops a blemish, at which point it is sold and the proceeds are used to bring a freewill offering; Rabbi Eliezer says it must be left to die. Rabbi Elazar says that the proceeds are used to bring a burnt offering.
