זבחים פרק ח׳ משנה י"א

11

Blood that is to be placed on three locations inside the Sanctuary, i.e., between the staves, on the Curtain, and on the golden altar, that was mixed with blood that is to be placed outside the Sanctuary on the external altar in the Temple courtyard, has no remedy, as one may not change the location of the placement of the blood of one to fulfill his obligation with the other type of blood. Therefore, all the blood shall be poured into the Temple courtyard drain. If the priest, on his own initiative, placed the mixture of blood outside the Sanctuary and again placed the mixture of blood inside the Sanctuary, the offering is fit. If the priest, on his own initiative, placed the mixture of blood inside the Sanctuary and again placed the mixture of blood outside the Sanctuary, Rabbi Akiva deems the blood placed outside disqualified, and the Rabbis deem it fit. As Rabbi Akiva says: Any blood that is to be presented outside that entered to atone in the Sanctuary is disqualified; but the Rabbis say: That is the halakha with regard to the blood of an external sin offering alone, as it is written: “And any sin offering, whereof any of the blood is brought into the Tent of Meeting to atone in the Sanctuary, shall not be eaten” (Leviticus 6:23). Rabbi Eliezer says: The status of a guilt offering is like that of a sin offering as well, as it is stated: “As is the sin offering, so is the guilt offering” (Leviticus 7:7), i.e., there is one halakha for them. That is not the case with regard to the blood of other offerings.

הַנִּתָּנִין בִּפְנִים שֶׁנִּתְעָרְבוּ עִם הַנִּתָּנִין בַּחוּץ, יִשָּׁפְכוּ לָאַמָּה. נָתַן בַּחוּץ וְחָזַר וְנָתַן בִּפְנִים, כָּשֵׁר. בִּפְנִים וְחָזַר וְנָתַן בַּחוּץ, רַבִּי עֲקִיבָא פוֹסֵל, וַחֲכָמִים מַכְשִׁירִים. שֶׁהָיָה רַבִּי עֲקִיבָא אוֹמֵר, כָּל הַדָּמִים שֶׁנִּכְנְסוּ לְכַפֵּר בַּהֵיכָל, פְּסוּלִין. וַחֲכָמִים אוֹמְרִים, חַטָּאת בִּלְבָד. רַבִּי אֱלִיעֶזֶר אוֹמֵר, אַף הָאָשָׁם, שֶׁנֶּאֱמַר (ויקרא ז) כַּחַטָּאת כָּאָשָׁם:

הניתנין בפנים כו' ישפכו לאמה – for we don’t say, “we see,” (see Mishnah 9 of this chapter) and it is prohibited to change these because of the fitness/acceptability of those. But Rabbi Eliezer who held that we state, “we see,” does not dispute here. For how should we proceed? Let us sprinkle outside and then afterwards inside, for just as it is a commandment to have the upper parts [of the red line] precede the lower parts, so it is a Mitzvah to have that which is offered inside precede that which is offered outside, for the inside is crucial. Let us sprinkle inside and afterwards sprinkle outside, since there is [the blood] of a sin-offering and a guilt-offering, for if it their blood was mixed with the inner blood, one is not able to state that he should give/sprinkle inside and afterwards, give/sprinkle outside, because it invalidates [the blood sprinkled outside, it was not decided with him (i.e., he could not state it absolutely). But if you would say that we should invalidate the [blood sprinkled] for the outside [sacrifices] in order to validate the [blood sprinkled] for the inner sacrifices, Rabbi Eliezer doe not state that we would invalidate them with our hands, and it is better to wait until sunset so that they will be invalidated of their own accord and they would be poured into the sewer.

נתן בחוץ – a Kohen who did not consult [with the Jewish court] and gave/sprinkled from this mixture outside [the altar], it is kosher/fit.

רבי עקיבא פוסל החיצון – for all the outer blood that entered inside [the altar] were invalidated.

וחכמים מכשירין – for all of the sacrifices except for the outside sin-offering that is invalidated because of (Leviticus 6:23): “But no sin offering may be eaten from which any blood is brought [into the Tent of Meeting for expiation in the sanctuary; any such shall be consumed in fire].” And the Halakha is according to the Sages.

הנתנין בפנים כו׳ ישפכו לאמה. דלא אמרינן רואים, ואסור לשנות את אלו מפני הכשרן של אלו. ורבי אליעזר דסבר אמרינן רואין, לא פליג הכא. דהיכי לעביד, ניתיב לחוץ והדר לפנים, כשם שמצוה להקדים עליונים לתחתונים כך מצוה להקדים פנימי לחיצון, דפנימי חשוב. ניתיב בפנים והדר ניתיב בחוץ, כיון דאיכא חטאת ואשם שאם נתערב דמם בדמים הפנימים לא מצי למימר יתן בפנים ואחר כך יתן בחוץ משום דמפסלי חיצונים, לא פסיקא ליה. וא״ת לפסלינהו לחיצונים כדי להכשיר פנימים. למפסלינהו בידים לא קאמר ר׳ אליעזר, ומוטב להמתין עד שקיעת החמה ויפסלו מאליהן וישפכו, לאמה:

נתן בחוץ. כהן שלא נמלך ונתן מתערובת זו בחוץ, כשר:

ר׳ עקיבא פוסל. החיצון. שכל דמים החיצונים שנכנסו לפנים נפסלו:

וחכמים מכשירים. בכל הקרבנות, חוץ מחטאת החיצונה דמיפסלא משום וכל חטאת אשר יובא כו׳. והלכה כחכמים:
