זבחים פרק ח׳ משנה ב׳

2
In a case where sacrificial animals were intermingled with other sacrificial animals, if it was an animal of one type of offering with animals of the same type of offering, one shall sacrifice this animal for the sake of whoever is its owner and one shall sacrifice that animal for the sake of whoever is its owner, and both fulfill their obligation. In a case where sacrificial animals were intermingled with other sacrificial animals, where an animal of one type of offering was intermingled with animals not of the same type of offering, e.g., two rams, where one is designated as a burnt offering and one as a peace offering, they shall graze until they become unfit for sacrifice and then they shall be sold. And from the money received in the sale, the owner shall bring another offering of the monetary value of the highest-quality animal among them as this type of offering, and another offering of the monetary value of the highest-quality animal among them as that type of offering, and he will lose the additional expense of purchasing two highest-quality animals, when he had sold only one highest-quality animal, from his own assets. In a case where sacrificial animals were intermingled with a firstborn offering or with an animal tithe offering, they shall graze until they become unfit for sacrifice and they shall both be eaten as a firstborn offering or as an animal tithe offering. All offerings can become indistinguishably intermingled with each other, except for a sin offering and a guilt offering, as the Gemara will explain.
קָדָשִׁים בְּקָדָשִׁים מִין בְּמִינוֹ, זֶה יִקְרַב לְשֵׁם מִי שֶׁהוּא וְזֶה יִקְרַב לְשֵׁם מִי שֶׁהוּא. קָדָשִׁים בְּקָדָשִׁים, מִין בְּשֶׁאֵינוֹ מִינוֹ, יִרְעוּ עַד שֶׁיִּסְתָּאֲבוּ, וְיִמָּכְרוּ, וְיָבִיא בִדְמֵי הַיָּפֶה שֶׁבָּהֶן מִמִּין זֶה, וּבִדְמֵי הַיָּפֶה שֶׁבָּהֶן מִמִּין זֶה, וְיַפְסִיד הַמּוֹתָר מִבֵּיתוֹ. נִתְעָרְבוּ בִבְכוֹר וּבְמַעֲשֵׂר, יִרְעוּ עַד שֶׁיִּסְתָּאֲבוּ, וְיֵאָכְלוּ כִּבְכוֹר וּכְמַעֲשֵׂר. הַכֹּל יְכוֹלִין לְהִתְעָרֵב, חוּץ מִן הַחַטָּאת וּמִן הָאָשָׁם:
ב׳

מין במינו – a sin-offering with a sin-offering, a burnt-offering with a burnt-offering, a peace-offering with a peace-offering, but they belong to many owners.

זה יקריב כל אחד לשם מי שהוא – and he doesn’t mention the name of person. These words concern the sacrifice of women that don’t require the placing of hands on the head of an offering, as it is written )Leviticus 1:2,4) “Speak to the Israelite people, [and say unto them]…He shall lay his hand [upon the head of the burnt offering],” Israelite men place their hands on the head of an offering, but women of the Israelite people do not place their hands on the head of an offering (see also Talmud Eruvin 96b, Talmud Hagigah 16b and Kiddushin 36a), but not on a sacrifice of men that require placing of their hands on their head of the offering.

מין כשאינו מניו ירעו – for it is impossible to offer it up as a sacrifice, for they are divided in the giving of monies or their burning [of the fats and limbs] or their consumption.

ויפסיד המותר מביתו (let him lose [make up] the added difference from his own property) – for if one sold for two and the other sold for one, he has to bring from every species for two, since it is not known from which species it is that which was sold for two, and it is found that he loses one from his own property.

נתערבו בבכור ובמעשר – [if they were mixed up with a firstling or the tithe] of cattle. For they don’t have redemption that its holiness will be redeemed on their monetary value and they (i.e., the animals) will leave to become unconsecrated, but rather, they are consumed with their blemishes, the firstling is consumed by the Kohanim and the tithe by its owners.

כולן ירעו עד שיסתאבו – when a blemish befalls them. And he will say, every place where the animal offering becomes redeemed for these monies. And they are permitted to eat them, as long as that they eat them according to the law of the firstling and the tithe, that we will not sell them in shops/a mercantile fair and they will not weigh them with a measure of capacity/Litra. And from the monies of the animal offering, he will offer up his species of the offering.

הכל יכולים להתערב – that is to say if they were combined, there is a doubt in their mixture.

חוץ מן החטאת עם האשם – for the sin-offering is never a ram, and the guilt-offering is not anything but a ram. But if it they are the guilt-offerings of a leper or of a Nazirite, they come from lambs, nevertheless, they are male, but the sin-offering does not come other than from a female. But the sin-offering and the burnt-offering combine, such as the goat of the chieftain with the goat of the free-will burnt-offering. And all the more so, the sin-offering and the peace-offering, for all are offered as peace-offerings, whether male or whether female. And similarly, the ram of the free-will burnt-offering with a guilt-offering.

מין במינו. חטאת בחטאת, עולה בעולה, שלמים בשלמים, אלא שהן של בעלים הרבה:

יקריב כל אחד לשם מי שהוא. ולא יזכיר שם אדם. והני מילי בקרבנות של נשים דלא בעי סמיכה, דכתיב בני ישראל וסמך, בני ישראל סומכים ואין בנות ישראל סומכות. אבל בקרבן אנשים דבעי סמיכה, לא:

מין בשאינו מינו ירעו. שאי אפשר בהקרבה, שחלוקין במתן דמים או בהקטרתן או באכילתן:

ויפסיד המותר מביתו. שאם מכר אחד מהן בשנים והאחר באחד, צריך להביא מכל מין בשנים, כיון שאין ידוע מאיזה מין הוא אותו שנמכר בשנים, ונמצא מפסיד אחד מביתו:

נתערבו בבכור ובמעשר. בהמה. שאין להם פדיון שתחול קדושתו על דמיהן ויצאו הן לחולין, אלא נאכלין במומן, הבכור נאכל לכהנים והמעשר לבעלים:

כולן ירעו עד שיסתאבו. שיפול בהן מום. ויאמר, כל מקום שהוא הזבח יתחלל על המעות הללו. ומותרים לאכלן, ובלבד שיאכלו בתורת בכור ומעשר, שלא ימכרם באטליז ולא ישקלם בליטרא. ומדמי הזבח יקריב מינו של זבח:

הכל יכולים להתערב. כלומר אם נתערבו יש ספק בתערובתן:

חוץ מן החטאת עם האשם. שהחטאת אינה לעולם איל, ואשם אינו אלא איל. ואי אשם מצורע ואשם נזיר הוא שהן באים כבשים, מכל מקום הן זכרים, והחטאת אינה באה אלא נקבה. אבל חטאת ועולה מתערבים, כגון שעיר נשיא בשעיר עולת נדבה. וכל שכן חטאת ושלמים, שהכל קרב שלמים בין זכרים בין נקבות. וכן איל של עולת נדבה באשם:

זבחים פרק ח׳ משנה ג׳

3
In the case of a guilt offering that was intermingled with a peace offering, Rabbi Shimon says: Both of them should be slaughtered in the north of the Temple courtyard, as a guilt offering must be slaughtered in the north while a peace offering may be slaughtered anywhere in the courtyard. And they both must be eaten in accordance with the halakha of the more stringent of them, i.e., the guilt offering, with the following halakhot: They may be eaten only in the courtyard rather than throughout Jerusalem; by male priests and not by any ritually pure Jew; and on the day they were sacrificed and the following night, and not on the day they were sacrificed, the following day, and the intervening night. The Rabbis said to Rabbi Shimon: One may not limit the time of the consumption of an offering, as one may not bring sacrificial animals to the status of unfitness. According to Rabbi Shimon’s opinion, the peace offering becomes leftover, notar, the morning after it is sacrificed, and not at the end of that day, as is the halakha concerning peace offerings. Rather, the owner shall wait until these animals become blemished, redeem them, and bring an offering of each type that is worth the monetary value of the higher-quality animal among them. The mishna adds: Even according to the opinion of the Rabbis, if pieces of the meat of one offering were intermingled with pieces of the meat of another offering, e.g., meat from offerings of the most sacred order with meat from offerings of lesser sanctity; or if pieces of meat from offerings eaten for one day and the following night were intermingled with pieces of meat from offerings eaten for two days and one night, since in that case the remedy with regard to offerings that were intermingled cannot be implemented, they both must be eaten in accordance with the halakha of the more stringent of them.
אָשָׁם שֶׁנִּתְעָרֵב בִּשְׁלָמִים, יִרְעוּ עַד שֶׁיִּסְתָּאֲבוּ. רַבִּי שִׁמְעוֹן אוֹמֵר, שְׁנֵיהֶם יִשָּׁחֲטוּ בַצָּפוֹן, וְיֵאָכְלוּ כֶחָמוּר שֶׁבָּהֶן. אָמְרוּ לוֹ, אֵין מְבִיאִין קָדָשִׁים לְבֵית הַפְּסוּל. נִתְעָרְבוּ חֲתִיכוֹת בַּחֲתִיכוֹת, קָדְשֵׁי קָדָשִׁים בְּקָדָשִׁים קַלִּים, הַנֶּאֱכָלִין לְיוֹם אֶחָד בַּנֶּאֱכָלִים לִשְׁנֵי יָמִים, יֵאָכְלוּ כֶחָמוּר שֶׁבָּהֶן:
ג׳

אשם שנתערב בשלמים (see previous Mishnah where this subject is discussed) – for the giving of the blood of the guilt-offering and the peace-offering is similar (i.e., in the north – see Tractate Zevakhim, Chapter 5, Mishnah 3).

שניהם ישחטו בצפון – but peace-offerings are ritually slaughtered in every place and one is able also to slaughter them in the om the north in the place when he slaughters the guilt-offering.

כחמור שבהן – inside from the enclosures in the Temple courtyard for male Kohanim during eh day and at night. But not like the Lesser Peace-Offerings that are consumed throughout the city for all people for two days and one night (see Tractate Zevakhim, Chapter 5, Mishnah 8). And the owner of the peace-offerings fulfilled his vow, for peace-offerings are sacrificed for their own sake, each person offers it for the sake of someone.

אין מביאין קדשים לבית הפסול – that he diminishes the consumption of peace-offerings whether concerning those who eats them or whether the time of their consumption and brings them to residue/remnant. But rather, they should let them graze until they become unfit/blemished and then they should be sold as we stated regarding Holy Things with Holy Things where it is one type mixed with another type, and he should bring with the proceeds of the best of them [of that kind]. But the Halakha is not according to Rabbi Shimon.

חתיכות בחתיכות – if pieces [of meat] of the Holy of Holies were mixed with a piece [of meat] of Lesser Holy Things or a piece [of meat] of Lesser Holy Things that are consumed on one day as for example, the peace-offerings of thanksgiving with pieces [of meat] of Lesser Holy Things that are consumed for two days and one night, which are the rest of the peace-offerings, in this, the Sages agree with Rabbi Shimon that they should consume in accordance with the rules of the more stringent of them, for what else should he do?

אשם שנתערב בשלמים. שמתן דמו של אשם ושלמים שוה:

שניהם ישחטו בצפון. דשלמים שחיטתן בכל מקום ויכולים נמי לשוחטן בצפון במקום ששוחטים האשם:

כחמור שבהן. לפנים מן הקלעים לזכרי כהונה ליום ולילה. ולא כשלמים הקלים שנאכלים בכל העיר לכל אדם לשני ימים ולילה אחד. ובעל השלמים יצא ידי נדרו, דהא שלמים לשמן הן קרבין, שמקריב כל אחד לשם מי שהוא:

אין מביאין קדשים לבית הפסול. שממעט את אכילת שלמים בין באוכליהן בין בזמן אכילתן ומביאן לידי נותר. אלא ירעו ויסתאבו וימכרו כדאמרינן גבי קדשים בקדשים מין בשאינו מינו, ויביא בדמי היפה שבהן כו׳. ואין הלכה כר״ש:

חתיכות בחתיכות. אם נתערבו חתיכת קדשי קדשים בחתיכה של קדשים קלים, או חתיכה של קדשים קלים הנאכלים ליום אחד כגון שלמי תודה עם חתיכה של קדשים קלים הנאכלים לשני ימים ולילה אחד דהיינו שאר שלמים, בהא מודו רבנן לר״ש דיאכלו כחמור שבהן, דמאי אית ליה למיעבד:
