Translation:

Vayikra 141

A Shochet must be G-d fearing.  "Ein v'Shachat Ela u'Mashach (Chulin 30b)

(Note: In the laws of slaughtering an animal, the cut in the neck must be made by drawing the knife over the neck and not by the pressing it against the neck. The Talmud derives this law from the word the Torah uses for slaughter “ve’shachat” which is related to the word “mashach” translated as “draw.” It proves this by citing two verses where the word “shachat” is translated as “drawn”. Homiletically, v’shachat means u’mashach, meaning that the Shochet takes the life force of the animal and draws it after him, transferring it to a higher spiritual place.)
