(a)An object that is already prohibited by one Isur Torah cannot become prohibited by a second one (Ein Isur Chal Al Isur). However, there are a number of possible exceptions to this principle (when we rule Isur Chal Al Isur) that are debated by the Tana'im (Chulin 101a):
1.Isur b'Vas Achas - Two Isurim may take effect at the same instant to prohibit the same object.
2.Isur Kollel - The second Isur may take effect if it includes objects that the first Isur did not (e.g. Yom ha'Kipurim prohibits not only the eating of Neveilos, but Kosher foods as well. Similarly, our Sugya mentions the Isurim of Neveilah and Tereifah, which prohibit not only the Chelev of the animal, but its meat, as well).
3.Isur Mosif - The second Isur may take effect if it adds a new dimension of Isur to the first (e.g. it prohibits the object to people who were not included in the first Isur, or it makes the object Asur b'Hana'ah and not just Asur to be eaten.)
4.Isur Chamur (according to Rebbi Yehudah) - A more stringent Isur can take effect on an object that is already prohibited by a less stringent Isur (e.g. the prohibition of Gid ha'Nasheh is more stringent than the prohibition of non-Kosher animals, since it applied to Benei Yakov when they were still permitted to eat non-Kosher animals).
(b)According to Rebbi Shimon, an object that is already prohibited can never become prohibited by another Isur, even if the second Isur is Kolel, Mosif or Chamur.

(Yechezkel 4:14) (Yechezkel's Complaint)
(a)After HaSh-m ordered Yechezkel to make several gestures that symbolized the imminent siege of Yerushalayim and its destruction, HaSh-m instructed Yechezkel to lie first on his left side. This represented Shomron, which was situated in the north (to the left of the Shechinah). Yechezkel lay on his left side for 390 consecutive days without moving (to atone for the 390 years that Yisrael sinned). He was then instructed to lie on his right side, which he did for forty days. This represented Yehudah, which was situated in the south (to the right of the Shechinah). He thereby achieved a partially atonement for the sins of the two kingdoms, to save them from total annihilation.
(b)During the first set of days, HaSh-m ordered Yechezkel to eat a mixture of wheat and barley, with beans and lentils, millet and spelt, which was to be weighed and eaten in small measure once a day together with a small measure of water. This symbolized the hunger that would pervade during the siege; the food would be of poor quality and the shortage would force the people to subsist on the smallest rations.
(d)All this Yechezkel accepted without complaint. It was only when HaSh-m added that he should eat coarse barley bread that was baked before the eyes of the people on coal that was manufactured from human excrement (as a further sign of the terrible famine that would grip the people who remained in Eretz Yisrael) that the Navi complained.
(e)Following his complaint, HaSh-m indeed altered His instruction, permitting Yechezkel to switch coals made from human excrement to coals made from animal dung.
18)[line 22]áùø ëåñ ëåñBESAR KOS KOS- the meat of an animal that was slaughtered because it was about to die ("Kos! Kos!" means "Slaughter! Slaughter!" This is said because the meat can be saved if the animal is slaughtered; if it dies without slaughter it will be Neveilah - RASHI)
19)[line 25]ùìà äåøîå îúðåúéäSHE'LO HURMU MATNOSEHA (MATNOS KEHUNAH: ZERO'A LECHAYAYIM V'KEIVAH)
(a)Whenever a person slaughters cattle, sheep or goats (that are not Kodesh), he must give to a Kohen the Zero'a, Lechayayim and Keivah (the foreleg, the [lower] jaw, and the maw or abomasum [the last of a cow's four stomachs] (Devarim 18:3). 1. The ZERO'A consists of the two upper limbs of the right foreleg, from the knee until the top of the shoulder blade; 2. The LECHAYAYIM consists of the lower jaw, from the joint where it is attached to the upper jaw until the thyroid cartilage, including the tongue; 3. The KEIVAH consists of the maw together with its Chelev, but the Minhag of the Kohanim is to let the animal's owner keep the Chelev.
(b)Although one must give the Zero'a, Lechayayim and Keivah to a Kohen, they may be eaten by a non-Kohen.

Mouth of Bedisa, a canal of the Euphrates), the location of a great Yeshiva that existed for approximately 800 years. The scholars of Pumbedisa were known for their keen intellect (Bava Metzia 38b). To emphasize its importance as a Torah center, Rabah and Rav Yosef stated that just as one is prohibited from leaving Eretz Yisrael to Chutz la'Aretz, so, too, is one prohibited to leave Pumbedisa (Kesuvos 111a).
