Five for the one whole ant, and one because he ate a _kezayis_ of _neveilah (that’s a chiddush that a dead sheretz is considered neveilah, and that the issur of neveilah is chal on the issur of sheretz)._*Rabbah amar Rabbi Yochanan:* Even** if he squashed two ants and added a whole ant.*Rav Yosef:* Even if there was only one squashed ant.*They’re all in agreement,* it just depends on the size of the added ant.*Rav:* There is *_malkos_ for one who eats tevel of _maaser ani_* [ _terumos_ and _maasros_ were already separated from it, only _maaser ani_ was not].*Question: This is in accordance with whose opinion?* _(It’s a big chiddush since there’s no penalty for eating the maaser itself, it’s only considered as if he stole from the aniyim)._*Answer:* It’s based on the following _beraisa._*Beraisa: Rabbi Yosi: In the _possuk_ prohibiting eating* _maaser_ outside of Yerushalayim the word *“B’she’arecha”* is used. This word is also found regarding _maaser ani,_ we thus learn that *it is prohibited to eat.*_________________________**Tosfos:* Chai must be translated “whole” not “live” because we’re referring to _neveilah._The _sheretz_ must be whole so that all of the _lavin_ should apply. But even when a _sheretz_ is not whole, some of the lavin apply.** Rabbi Yochanan and Rav Yosef are adding that even if the whole ant only completes the _zayis_ because it is not squashed, it is still considered a _kezayis._ See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
