תמורה פרק ד׳ משנה ג׳

3
In the case of one who designates money for purchase of his sin offering, and the money was lost, and he designated other money in its stead, and he did not manage to purchase a sin offering with that money before the original money was found, he should bring a sin offering from a combination of this original money and that money designated in its stead, and the remainder shall be allocated for communal gift offerings. In the case of one who designates money for purchase of his sin offering, and the money was lost, and he designated an animal as a sin offering in its stead, and he did not manage to sacrifice the animal before the money was found, and the animal that he designated as a sin offering is blemished, the animal shall be sold; and he brings a sin offering from a combination of this original money and that money received for the sale of the blemished animal, and the remainder shall be allocated for communal gift offerings. In the case of one who designates a sin offering and the animal was lost, and he designated money in its stead, and he did not manage to purchase a sin offering with that money before his sin offering was found, and the animal is blemished, the animal shall be sold; and he brings a sin offering from a combination of this money that he designated and that money received for the sale of the blemished animal, and the remainder shall be allocated for communal gift offerings. In the case of one who designates his sin offering and the animal was lost, and he designated another animal in its stead, and he did not manage to sacrifice the sin offering before the first sin offering was found, and both of the animals are blemished, the animals shall be sold; and he brings a sin offering from a third animal that he buys with a combination of the money from the sale of this animal and from the sale of that animal, and the remainder shall be allocated for communal gift offerings. In the case of one who designates his sin offering and the animal was lost, and he designated another animal in its stead, and he did not manage to sacrifice the sin offering before the first sin offering was found, and both of the animals are unblemished and fit for sacrifice, one of them shall be sacrificed as a sin offering and the other shall be left to die; this is the statement of Rabbi Yehuda HaNasi. And the Rabbis say: A sin offering is not left to die unless it was found after its owner achieved atonement; and the money is not taken to the Dead Sea unless it was found after its owner achieved atonement.

יביא מאלו ומאלו – that he should mix them together. For since he brings from both of them, it is not a case of a sin-offering where its owners were expiated with another. But if he brought [only] from one of them, the other is made inoperative, for they have the monetary value of the sin-offering that its owners were expiated with another.

והשאר יפלו לנדבה – this would be like the rest of those leftovers of sin-offerings that go to free-will donation.

והרי חטאת בעלת מום – but if the sin-offering [that had been originally been lost] was pure, it should be offered and the monies [that would have been used to replace it] should go to the Dead Sea, since the owners were expiated with another. And all of these are according to Rabbi [Judah the Prince] who said, it was lost at the time of it being separated, such as these monies, and they were found prior to atonement, they go to the Dead Sea.

והשניה תמות דברי רבי וחכמים אומרים כו' – everyone agrees that when one is expiated by that which is not lost, that the lost one (i.e., animal that had been set aside) dies. They did not dispute other where he was expiated with a lost [object], for Rabbi [Judah the Prince] holds that a person who set something aside to be lost is like it is lost, meaning to say, one who sets aside [another] in place of the lost sacrifice, its law is like something lost. And just as if it the person was expiated with that which was not lost, the lost [object] that remains, when it is found, its law is that it should die. Similarly, here also , when he was expiated with one of them, and even with those that were lost, those that were not lost should go to the Dead Sea. But the Rabbis state, we did not state that a person sets something aside to become lost is like it is lost. And especially when a person is expiated with something that is not lost and the lost [object] remains, the lost object “dies” and even though it is found prior to atonement. But if he was expiated with a lost object and there remained [an animal] that was not lost, it does not die, but rather it should be put to pasture until it develops a blemish. And the Halakha is according to the Sages.

יביא מאלו ומאלו. יערבם יחד. דכיון דמתרווייהו מייתי, לא הוי חטאת שנתכפרו בעליה באחרת אבל אי הוה מייתי מחד מנייהו, מדחו אחריני, דהוו להו דמי חטאת שכיפרו בעליה באחרת:

והשאר יפלו לנדבה. דהוו כשאר מותרות של חטאת דאזלי לנדבה:

והרי חטאת בעלת מום. אבל אם חטאת תמימה, תיקרב היא והמעות ילכו לים המלח, הואיל וכיפרו הבעלים באחרת. וכל הנך אליבא דרבי דאמר אבודה בשעת הפרשה כגון הנך מעות דנמצאו קודם כפרה, אזלי לים המלח:

והשניה תמות דברי רבי וחכמים אומרים כו׳ הכל מודים במתכפר בשאינה אבודה, שאבודה מתה. לא נחלקו אלא במתכפר באבודה, דרבי סבר המפריש לאבוד כאבוד דמי, כלומר המפריש תחת קרבן אבוד, דינו כאבוד. וכי היכי דאם נתכפר בשאינו אבוד, האבוד הנשאר כשימצא דינו שימות. הכי נמי כי נתכפר באחד מהן ואפילו באבודים, ילכו שאינן אבודים לים המלח. ורבנן סברי, לא אמרינן המפריש לאבוד כאבוד דמי. ודוקא המתכפר בשאינה אבודה והאבודה נשארה, האבודה מתה ואע״פ שנמצאת קודם כפרה. אבל אם נתכפר באבודה ונשארה שאינה אבודה, אינה מתה, אלא תרעה עד שתסתאב. והלכה כחכמים:
