Male or Female and the Limits of the Peace-Offering

"Male or female" (Leviticus 3:1) - a definite male and a definite female, and not one of indeterminate sex nor an androgyne. But could this not be derived by logic? If the burnt-offering, which is fit to come from a bird, is not fit to come from an indeterminate or androgynous animal, then peace-offerings, which are not fit to come from a bird, surely should not be fit to come from an indeterminate or androgynous animal. No: if you have said this of the burnt-offering, which is not fit to come as a female like a male, will you say it of peace-offerings, which are fit to come as a female like a male? Let the sin-offering prove the point, for it is fit to come as a female like a male, and yet is not fit to come from an indeterminate or androgynous animal. No: if you have said this of the sin-offering, which is not fit to come from every kind of male and every kind of female, will you say it of peace-offerings, which are fit to come from every kind of male and every kind of female? Let the tithe prove the point, for it is fit to come from every kind of male and every kind of female, and yet is not fit to come from an indeterminate or androgynous animal. No: if you have said this of the tithe, which is one out of ten, will you say it of peace-offerings, which are one out of one? Since the peace-offering is one out of one, perhaps an indeterminate or androgynous animal should be fit to come. Therefore Scripture says "male or female" - a definite male, a definite female, and not an indeterminate or androgynous animal. "A lamb" - why is it said? "A lamb" comes to include the Passover-offering as to its fat tail. When it says "if a lamb," it comes to include the Passover-offering whose year has passed, and the peace-offerings that come on account of the Passover-offering, with all the commandments of peace-offerings - that they require laying-on of hands, libations, and the waving of breast and thigh. But they may be eaten only for a day and a night, like the rule of their original consecration. Ben Azzai says: they may be eaten only at night, and may be eaten only roasted (this is written in Remez 499).
