דם חטאת. טעון כבוס. כדכתיב (ויקרא ז׳) ואשר יזה מדמה וגו׳ תכבס במקום קדוש:

Mishnah 2
Mishnayos Zevachim Perek 11 Mishnah 2
זבחים פרק י"א משנה ב׳
Bartenura
אין דמה טעון כבוס – as it is written (Leviticus 6:20): “and if any of its blood is splattered [upon a garment],” from blood that is fit, but not blood that is invalid.
שעת הכושר – for tossing/sprinkling.
שלנה – that its blood remained overnight.
ושקבלו פסולין – this is our reading. But we don’t read, “and when they tossed/sprinkled [its blood], for even an appropriate sin-offering whose blood was splattered on the clothing after the sprinkling of the blood idoes not require washing, as we have stated, “and if any of [its blood] is splattered,” (Leviticus 6:20), excluding that which that had already been splattered.
אין דמה טעון כבוס. דכתיב אשר יזה מדמה, מדם כשרה ולא מדם פסולה:
שעת הכושר. לזריקה:
שלנה. שלן דמה:
ושקבלו פסולין. גרסינן. ולא גרסינן ושזרקו, דהא אפילו חטאת כשרה שניתז דמה על גבי הבגד לאחר זריקת הדם אינו טעון כיבוס, כדאמרינן אשר יזה פרט לזה שכבר הוזה:
Mishnah Yomi FAQ
What is Mishnah Yomi?
Mishnah Yomi is a daily study program where participants study two mishnayot (individual teachings from the Mishnah) every day. By following this program, one can complete the entire Mishnah in about six years.
What is the Mishnah?
The Mishnah is the first major written collection of Jewish oral traditions, forming the basis of the Talmud. It dates back to around 200 CE and consists of teachings and discussions of Jewish law by various rabbis.
Who started the Mishnah Yomi program?
In 1934, the Kozoglover Gaon, Rav Aryeh Tzvi Frommer, who took over from Rav Meir Shapiro (the founder of Daf Yomi) as the head of Yeshivas Chachmei Lublin, initiated the Mishnah Yomi cycle, focusing on Seder Zeraim and Seder Taharos. After World War II, in 1947, Rav Yonah Sztencl, a disciple of Rav Frommer, expanded the program, advocating for a comprehensive study of Shishah Sidrei Mishnah. The idea of studying two Mishnayos daily gained the support of figures like Rav Isser Zalman Meltzer, the Tchebiner Rov, and the Gerer Rebbe, marking the formal inception of Mishnah Yomi.

What if I miss a day?

דם חטאת. טעון כבוס – as it is written (Leviticus 6:20): “…and if any of its blood is splattered upon a garment, you shall wash the bespattered part in the sacred precinct.”
שנאמר במקום קדוש תאכל – it is written in regard to that matter.
ואחד הפנימית – that their blood requires sprinkling inside [in the inner area] which are not consumed.
שנאמר תורה אחת לכל החטאות – it is written [in the Torah – Leviticus 6:19] at the beginning of that matter.
תורה אחת לכל החטאות – and specifically the sin offering of cattle. But the blood of sin-offering of a bird [that splatters on the clothing of the officiating priest] does not require washing, for in that matter, it is written (Leviticus 6:17): “[This is the ritual of the purification/sin-offering: the purification offering shall be slaughtered before the LORD] at the spot where the burnt offering is slaughtered,” excluding the sin-offering of the bird which is not slaughtered.
