[א] "וסמך…ושחט" – במקום שסומכין, שוחטין; ותיכף לסמיכה שחיטה; מה סמיכה בטהורים, אף שחיטה בטהורים.
1) "and he shall place his hand … and he shall slaughter": In the place (the azarah) where semichah is performed, shechitah is performed, and shechitah must follow immediately upon semichah. Just as semichah obtains only with those who are clean (from defilement), so, shechitah.
