Mishnah Menachot 13:7: “I take upon myself a thanksgiving offering or a shelamim offering” - he must bring a lamb. “I specified [one of these types of offerings] of cattle, but I do not know what I specified” - he must bring a bull and a cow, a he-calf and a she-calf. “[I specified one of these types of offerings] of the [domesticated] beasts, but I do not know what I specified” - he must bring a bull and a cow, a he-calf and a she-calf, a ram and a ewe, a he-goat and a she-goat, a he-kid and a she-kid, a he-lamb and a she-lamb.

הרי עלי תודה, ושלמים, יביא כבש. פרשתי מן הבקר ואיני יודע מה פרשתי, יביא פר ופרה עגל ועגלה. מן הבהמה ואיני יודע מה פרשתי, יביא פר ופרה עגל ועגלה איל ורחל גדי וגדיה שעיר ושעירה טלה וטליה.

Mishnah Menachot 13:8: “I take upon myself an ox” - he must bring one with its libations to the value of a maneh. “A calf” - he must bring one with its libations to the value of five selaim. “A ram” - he must bring one with its libations to the value of two selaim. “A lamb” - he must bring one with its libations to the value of one sela. “An ox valued at one maneh” - he must bring one worth a maneh apart from its libations . “A calf valued at five selaim” - he must bring one worth five selaim apart from its libations. “A ram valued at two selaim” - he must bring one worth two selaim apart from its libations. “A lamb valued at one sela” - he must bring one worth one sela apart from its libations. "An ox valued at a maneh”, and he brought two together worth a maneh, he has not fulfilled his obligation, even if one was worth a maneh less one dinar and the other also was worth a maneh less one dinar. “A black one” and he brought a white one, or “a white one” and he brought a black one, or “a large one” and he brought a small one, he has not fulfilled his obligation. "A small one” and he brought a large one - he has fulfilled his obligation; Rabbi [Yehudah Hanasi] says: he has not fulfilled his obligation.

הרי עלי שור, יביא הוא ונסכיו במנה. עגל, יביא הוא ונסכיו בחמש. איל, יביא הוא ונסכיו בשתים. כבש, יביא הוא ונסכיו בסלע. שור במנה, יביא במנה חוץ מנסכיו. עגל בחמש, יביא בחמש, חוץ מנסכיו. איל בשתים, יביא בשתים, חוץ מנסכיו. כבש בסלע, יביא בסלע, חוץ מנסכיו. שור במנה והביא שנים במנה, לא יצא, אפלו זה במנה חסר דינר וזה במנה חסר דינר. שחור והביא לבן, לבן והביא שחור, גדול והביא קטן, לא יצא. קטן והביא גדול, יצא. רבי אומר: לא יצא.
