הנתנין במתנה אחת. בגמרא מפרש כגון כוס דם בכור שנתערב בכוס דם מעשר:
ינתנו מתנה אחת. מכל כוס וכוס יתן מתנה אחת מכוס זה ומתנה אחת מכוס זה:
מתן ארבע במתן ארבע. כגון דם עולה בדם שלמים או בדם אשם, ששניהם טעונים שתי מתנות שהן ארבע ושניהם תחתונים:
מתן ארבע במתן אחד. כגון עולה בבכור ששניהם תחתונים:
רא״א ינתנו במתן ארבע. ורואה אני את מתנות היתירות הניתנות מדם הבכור כאילו הם מים. ואין זה בל תוסיף:
במתנה אחת. שלא יעבור על בל תוסיף. וידי עולה יצא, דכל הנתנים על מזבח החיצון שנתנן במתנה אחת כיפר:
ולא עשית מעשה בידך. ואינו דומה עושה מעשה, ליושב ואינו עושה ואיסור בא מאיליו. והלכה כרבי יהושע:

Mishnayos Zevachim Perek 8 Mishnah 11
זבחים פרק ח׳ משנה י"א
Bartenura
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:

מתן ארבע במתן ארבע – as, for example, the blood of a burnt-offering with the blood of a peace-offering or the blood of a guilt-offering, for both of them require two gifts which are four and both of them are [sprinkled] below [the red line].

רא"א ינתנו במתן ארבע – and I see the extra gifts that are sprinkled from the blood of the firstling as if they are water, and this is not [a violation of] “do not add” (i.e., Deuteronomy 13:1: “[Be careful to observe only that which I enjoin upon you:] neither add to it [nor take away from it.”].
