###### Mishnah Zevachim 13:1
[Mishnah Zevachim 13:1](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Mishnah%20Zevachim/r/13:1)

הַשּׁוֹחֵט וְהַמַּעֲלֶה בַחוּץ, חַיָּב עַל הַשְּׁחִיטָה וְחַיָּב עַל הָעֲלִיָּה. רַבִּי יוֹסֵי הַגְּלִילִי אוֹמֵר, שָׁחַט בִּפְנִים וְהֶעֱלָה בַחוּץ, חַיָּב. שָׁחַט בַּחוּץ וְהֶעֱלָה בַחוּץ, פָּטוּר, שֶׁלֹּא הֶעֱלָה בַחוּץ אֶלָּא דָבָר פָּסוּל. אָמְרוּ לוֹ, אַף הַשּׁוֹחֵט בִּפְנִים וּמַעֲלֶה בַחוּץ, כֵּיוָן שֶׁהוֹצִיאוֹ, פְּסָלוֹ:

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
**One who slaughters** an offering outside the Temple courtyard **and one who offers** it **up outside** the Temple courtyard is **liable for the slaughter and liable for** the **offering up,** as each act involves an independent prohibition. If done intentionally, he is liable to receive excision from the World-to-Come [*karet*] for each act, and if done unwittingly, he is liable to bring a sin offering for each act. **Rabbi Yosei HaGelili says:** If **he slaughtered** an offering **inside** the courtyard **and** then **offered** it **up outside** the courtyard, he is liable. But if **he slaughtered** it **outside,** thereby rendering it unfit, **and** then **he offered** it **up outside,** he is **exempt** for the offering up, **as he offered up only an item** that is **unfit,** and one is liable only for offering up an item that is fit to be offered up inside the Temple. The Rabbis **said to him:** According to your reasoning, **even** in a case where **he slaughters** it **inside and offers** it **up outside,** he should be exempt, **since** the moment **that he took it outside** the courtyard, he thereby **rendered it unfit.** Yet, in such a case, he is certainly liable for offering it up. So too, one who slaughters an offering outside and then offers it up outside is liable.

[Mishnah Zevachim 13:2](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Mishnah%20Zevachim/r/13:2)

טָמֵא שֶׁאָכַל, בֵּין קֹדֶשׁ טָמֵא וּבֵין קֹדֶשׁ טָהוֹר, חַיָּב. רַבִּי יוֹסֵי הַגְּלִילִי אוֹמֵר, טָמֵא שֶׁאָכַל טָהוֹר, חַיָּב. וְטָמֵא שֶׁאָכַל טָמֵא, פָּטוּר, שֶׁלֹּא אָכַל אֶלָּא דָבָר טָמֵא. אָמְרוּ לוֹ, אַף טָמֵא שֶׁאָכַל טָהוֹר, כֵּיוָן שֶׁנָּגַע בּוֹ, טִמְּאָהוּ. וְטָהוֹר שֶׁאָכַל טָמֵא, פָּטוּר, שֶׁאֵינוֹ חַיָּב אֶלָּא עַל טֻמְאַת הַגּוּף:

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
**One who is ritually impure who ate** sacrificial food, **whether** it was **ritually impure sacrificial** food **or ritually pure sacrificial** food, is **liable** to receive *karet* if he did so intentionally and to bring a sliding-scale offering if he did so unwittingly. **Rabbi Yosei HaGelili says: An impure** person **who ate pure** sacrificial food is **liable. But an impure** person **who ate impure** sacrificial food is **exempt, as he merely ate an impure item,** and the prohibition against eating sacrificial food while one is impure applies only to pure sacrificial food. The Rabbis **said to him:** According to your logic, this *halakha* would apply **even** in a case of **an impure** person **who ate** what had been **pure** sacrificial food, because **once he touched it, he** thereby **rendered it ritually impure.** Yet, in such a case, he is certainly liable for eating it. So too, an impure person who ate impure sacrificial food is liable. **And a pure** person **who ate impure** sacrificial food is **exempt, as** one is **liable** for eating sacrificial food in impurity **only due to** the **impurity of** one’s **body,** but not due to the impurity of the food.


###### Mishnah Zevachim 13:3
[Mishnah Zevachim 13:3](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Mishnah%20Zevachim/r/13:3)

חֹמֶר בַּשְּׁחִיטָה מִבָּעֲלִיָּה, וּבָעֲלִיָּה מִבַּשְּׁחִיטָה. חֹמֶר בַּשְּׁחִיטָה, שֶׁהַשּׁוֹחֵט לְהֶדְיוֹט, חַיָּב, וְהַמַּעֲלֶה לְהֶדְיוֹט, פָּטוּר. חֹמֶר בָּעֲלִיָּה, שְׁנַיִם שֶׁאָחֲזוּ בְסַכִּין וְשָׁחֲטוּ, פְּטוּרִים. אָחֲזוּ בְאֵבָר וְהֶעֱלוּהוּ, חַיָּבִין. הֶעֱלָה, וְחָזַר וְהֶעֱלָה, וְחָזַר וְהֶעֱלָה, חַיָּב עַל כָּל עֲלִיָּה וַעֲלִיָּה, דִּבְרֵי רַבִּי שִׁמְעוֹן. רַבִּי יוֹסֵי אוֹמֵר, אֵינוֹ חַיָּב אֶלָּא אַחַת, וְאֵינוֹ חַיָּב עַד שֶׁיַּעֲלֶה לְרֹאשׁ הַמִּזְבֵּחַ. רַבִּי שִׁמְעוֹן אוֹמֵר, אֲפִלּוּ הֶעֱלָה עַל הַסֶּלַע אוֹ עַל הָאֶבֶן, חַיָּב:

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
There is **a greater stringency with regard to slaughtering** outside the Temple courtyard **than with regard to offering up** outside, **and** there is a greater stringency **with regard to offering up** outside **than with regard to slaughtering** outside. The mishna elaborates: The **greater stringency with regard to slaughtering** outside is **that one who slaughters** an offering outside the Temple courtyard even **for** the sake of **an ordinary** purpose, not for the sake of God, is **liable. But one who offers up** an offering outside the courtyard **for** the sake of **an ordinary** purpose is **exempt.** The **greater stringency with regard to offering up** outside is that **two** people **who grasped a knife and** together **slaughtered** an offering outside the courtyard are **exempt.** But if two **grasped a limb** from an offering **and** together **offered** it **up** outside, they are **liable.** If one unwittingly **offered up** part of an offering outside the courtyard **and then** in a different lapse of awareness **offered up** other parts of that offering **and then** again, in another lapse of awareness, **offered up** yet other parts, he is **liable** to bring a sin offering **for each** act of **offering up;** this is **the statement of Rabbi Shimon. Rabbi Yosei says:** He is **liable** to bring **only one** sin offering. Rabbi Yosei adds: **And** one is **liable** for offering up an offering outside the courtyard **only once he offers** it **up at the top of an altar** that was erected there. **Rabbi Shimon says: Even** if **he offered** it **up on a rock or on a stone,** not an altar, he is **liable.**


###### Mishnah Zevachim 13:4
[Mishnah Zevachim 13:4](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Mishnah%20Zevachim/r/13:4)

אֶחָד קָדָשִׁים כְּשֵׁרִין וְאֶחָד קָדָשִׁים פְּסוּלִין שֶׁהָיָה פְסוּלָן בַּקֹּדֶשׁ, וְהִקְרִיבָן בַּחוּץ, חַיָּב. הַמַּעֲלֶה כַזַּיִת מִן הָעוֹלָה וּמִן הָאֵמוּרִין בַּחוּץ, חַיָּב. הַקֹּמֶץ, וְהַלְּבוֹנָה, וְהַקְּטֹרֶת, וּמִנְחַת כֹּהֲנִים, וּמִנְחַת כֹּהֵן הַמָּשִׁיחַ, וּמִנְחַת נְסָכִין, שֶׁהִקְרִיב מֵאַחַד מֵהֶן כַּזַיִת בַּחוּץ, חַיָּב. רַבִּי אֶלְעָזָר פּוֹטֵר, עַד שֶׁיַּקְרִיב אֶת כֻּלּוֹ. וְכֻלָּם שֶׁהִקְרִיבָן בִּפְנִים וְשִׁיֵּר בָּהֶן כַּזַּיִת וְהִקְרִיבָן בַּחוּץ, חַיָּב. וְכֻלָּם שֶׁחָסְרוּ כָל שֶׁהֵן, וְהִקְרִיבָן בַּחוּץ, פָּטוּר:

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
With regard to **both fit sacrificial** animals, **and unfit sacrificial** animals **whose disqualification occurred in sanctity,** i.e., in the course of the Temple service, **and one sacrificed them outside** the Temple courtyard, he is **liable.** **One who offers up outside** the courtyard **an olive-bulk** made up **of** the flesh of **a burnt offering and of** its **sacrificial portions** is **liable.** If there is **a meal offering** from **which a handful was not removed, and one sacrificed it outside** the Temple courtyard, he is **exempt** from liability, because until the handful is actually removed it is not fit to be burned on the altar inside the Temple. But if a priest **took a handful from it and** then **returned its handful into** the remainder of the meal offering, **and one sacrificed** the entire mixture **outside** the courtyard, he is **liable,** as once the handful has been removed it is fit to be burned on the altar inside the Temple, and one is liable for offering it up outside even though it is mixed into the remainder. With regard to **the handful** of a meal offering, **the frankincense, the incense, the meal offering of priests, the meal offering of** the **anointed priest, and the meal offering** brought with the **libations** that accompany animal offerings, in a case **where one sacrificed** even **an olive-bulk from** any **one of these,** which should be sacrificed on the altar, **outside** the Temple, he is **liable,** as the burning of an olive-bulk is considered a proper burning. **Rabbi Eliezer deems** him **exempt unless he sacrifices the whole of** any one of these items outside the Temple. **But** Rabbi Eliezer concedes that with regard to **any of them that one sacrificed inside** the courtyard **but left over an olive-bulk from them and** then **sacrificed that** olive-bulk **outside** the courtyard, he is **liable.** **And** with regard to **any of these** offerings **that were lacking any amount,** if **one sacrifices it outside** the courtyard, he is **exempt.**

הַמַּקְרִיב קָדָשִׁים וְאֵמוּרֵיהֶם בַּחוּץ, חַיָּב. מִנְחָה שֶׁלֹּא נִקְמְצָה וְהִקְרִיבָהּ בַּחוּץ, פָּטוּר. קְמָצָהּ, וְחָזַר קֻמְצָהּ לְתוֹכָהּ, וְהִקְרִיבָהּ בַּחוּץ, חַיָּב:

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
**One who sacrifices sacrificial** meat, which is eaten, **and sacrificial portions,** i.e., those that are to be burned on the altar, **outside** the courtyard, is **liable** for the sacrifice of the sacrificial portions. But he is not liable for sacrificing the meat. If there is **a meal offering** from **which a handful was not removed, and one sacrificed it outside** the Temple courtyard, he is **exempt** from liability, because until the handful is actually removed it is not fit to be burned on the altar inside the Temple. But if a priest **took a handful from it and** then **returned its handful into** the remainder of the meal offering, **and one sacrificed** the entire mixture **outside** the courtyard, he is **liable,** as once the handful has been removed it is fit to be burned on the altar inside the Temple, and one is liable for offering it up outside even though it is mixed into the remainder.

[Mishnah Zevachim 13:6](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Mishnah%20Zevachim/r/13:6)

הַקֹּמֶץ וְהַלְּבוֹנָה, שֶׁהִקְרִיב אֶת אַחַד מֵהֶן בַּחוּץ, חַיָּב. רַבִּי אֶלְעָזָר פּוֹטֵר עַד שֶׁיַּקְרִיב אֶת הַשֵּׁנִי. אֶחָד בִּפְנִים וְאֶחָד בַּחוּץ, חַיָּב. שְׁנֵי בְזִיכֵי לְבוֹנָה, שֶׁהִקְרִיב אֶת אַחַד מֵהֶן בַּחוּץ, חַיָּב. רַבִּי אֶלְעָזָר פּוֹטֵר, עַד שֶׁיַּקְרִיב אֶת הַשֵּׁנִי. אֶחָד בִּפְנִים וְאֶחָד בַּחוּץ, חַיָּב. הַזּוֹרֵק מִקְצָת דָּמִים בַּחוּץ, חַיָּב. רַבִּי אֶלְעָזָר אוֹמֵר, אַף הַמְנַסֵּךְ מֵי חָג בֶּחָג בַּחוּץ, חַיָּב. רַבִּי נְחֶמְיָה אוֹמֵר, שְׁיָרֵי הַדָּם שֶׁהִקְרִיבָן בַּחוּץ, חַיָּב:

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
The burning of both the handful and the frankincense permits the consumption of the remainder of the meal offering by the priests. With regard to **the handful and the frankincense,** in a case **where one sacrificed** only **one of them outside** the Temple courtyard, he is **liable. Rabbi Eliezer exempts** from liability one who burns only one of them **until he** also **sacrifices the second.** Since the remainder of the meal offering becomes permitted only once both have been burned, he considers each one alone to be an incomplete offering, and he holds one is not liable for sacrificing only one of them. Rabbi Eliezer concedes that if one sacrificed **one inside** the courtyard **and one outside** the courtyard, he is **liable.** The burning of two bowls of frankincense permits the consumption of the shewbread. With regard to the **two bowls of frankincense,** in a case **where one sacrificed** only **one of them outside** the courtyard, he is **liable. Rabbi Eliezer exempts** from liability one who burns only one of them **until he** also **sacrifices the second,** since the shewbread becomes permitted only once both bowls of frankincense are burned. Rabbi Eliezer concedes that if one sacrificed **one inside** the courtyard **and one outside** the courtyard, he is **liable.** **One who sprinkles part of** the **blood** of an offering, e.g., one sprinkling instead of four, **outside** the Temple courtyard is **liable. Rabbi Elazar says: So too, one who pours as a libation water** consecrated for the libation **of the festival** of *Sukkot*, **during the Festival, outside** the courtyard, is **liable. Rabbi Neḥemya says:** For the **remainder of the blood** of an offering that was supposed to be poured at the base of the altar and **that** instead **one sacrificed outside** the courtyard, one is **liable.**


###### Mishnah Zevachim 13:7
[Mishnah Zevachim 13:7](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Mishnah%20Zevachim/r/13:7)

הַמּוֹלֵק אֶת הָעוֹף בִּפְנִים וְהֶעֱלָה בַחוּץ, חַיָּב. מָלַק בַּחוּץ וְהֶעֱלָה בַחוּץ, פָּטוּר. הַשּׁוֹחֵט אֶת הָעוֹף בִּפְנִים וְהֶעֱלָה בַחוּץ, פָּטוּר. שָׁחַט בַּחוּץ וְהֶעֱלָה בַחוּץ, חַיָּב. נִמְצָא, דֶּרֶךְ הֶכְשֵׁרוֹ מִבִּפְנִים, פְּטוּרוֹ בַחוּץ. דֶּרֶךְ הֶכְשֵׁרוֹ בַחוּץ, פְּטוּרוֹ בִפְנִים. רַבִּי שִׁמְעוֹן אוֹמֵר, כֹּל שֶׁחַיָּבִין עָלָיו בַחוּץ, חַיָּבִין עַל כַּיּוֹצֵא בוֹ בִפְנִים, שֶׁהֶעֱלָהוּ בַחוּץ, חוּץ מִן הַשּׁוֹחֵט בִּפְנִים וּמַעֲלֶה בַחוּץ:

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
**One who pinches** the nape of **a bird** offering **inside** the Temple courtyard **and** then **offers** it **up outside** the courtyard is **liable.** But if **one pinched** its nape **outside** the courtyard **and** then **offered** it **up outside** the courtyard he is **exempt,** as pinching the nape of a bird outside the courtyard is not considered valid pinching. **One who slaughters,** with a knife, **a bird** offering **inside** the courtyard **and offers** it **up outside** the courtyard is **exempt,** as slaughtering a bird offering in the Temple courtyard disqualifies it as an offering. But if one **slaughtered** a bird offering **outside** the courtyard **and** then **offered** it **up outside,** he is **liable.** **Evidently, the manner of its preparation inside** the courtyard, i.e., pinching, effects **its exemption outside** the courtyard, and **the manner of its preparation outside** the courtyard, i.e., slaughter, effects **its exemption inside** the courtyard. **Rabbi Shimon says:** With regard to **any** act of killing an animal concerning **which,** when it was performed **outside** the courtyard, one is **liable for** subsequently offering **it** up outside the courtyard, one is also **liable for** having **offered** the animal **up outside** the courtyard after performing **a similar** act of killing **inside** the courtyard. This is the *halakha* **except with regard to one who slaughters** a bird **inside** the courtyard **and offers** it **up outside** the courtyard; he is exempt.

הַחַטָּאת שֶׁקִּבֵּל דָּמָהּ בְּכוֹס אֶחָד, נָתַן בַּחוּץ וְחָזַר וְנָתַן בִּפְנִים, בִּפְנִים וְחָזַר וְנָתַן בַּחוּץ, חַיָּב, שֶׁכֻּלּוֹ רָאוּי לָבֹא בִפְנִים. קִבֵּל דָּמָהּ בִּשְׁנֵי כוֹסוֹת, נָתַן שְׁנֵיהֶם בִּפְנִים, פָּטוּר. שְׁנֵיהֶן בַּחוּץ, חַיָּב. אֶחָד בִּפְנִים וְאֶחָד בַּחוּץ, פָּטוּר. אֶחָד בַּחוּץ וְאֶחָד בִּפְנִים, חַיָּב עַל הַחִיצוֹן, וְהַפְּנִימִי מְכַפֵּר. לְמַה הַדָּבָר דּוֹמֶה, לְמַפְרִישׁ חַטָּאתוֹ וְאָבְדָה וְהִפְרִישׁ אַחֶרֶת תַּחְתֶּיהָ וְאַחַר כָּךְ נִמְצֵאת הָרִאשׁוֹנָה, וַהֲרֵי שְׁתֵּיהֶן עוֹמְדוֹת. שָׁחַט שְׁתֵּיהֶן בִּפְנִים, פָּטוּר. שָׁחַט שְׁתֵּיהֶן בַּחוּץ, חַיָּב. אַחַת בִּפְנִים וְאַחַת בַּחוּץ, פָּטוּר. אַחַת בַּחוּץ וְאַחַת בִּפְנִים, חַיָּב עַל הַחִיצוֹנָה, וְהַפְּנִימִית מְכַפֶּרֶת. כְּשֵׁם שֶׁדָּמָהּ פּוֹטֵר אֶת בְּשָׂרָהּ, כָּךְ הוּא פוֹטֵר אֶת בְּשַׂר חֲבֶרְתָּהּ:

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
With regard to **a sin offering where one collected its blood in one cup,** if he first **placed** its blood on an altar **outside** the courtyard **and then placed** the remaining blood on the altar **inside** the courtyard, or if he first placed its blood on the altar **inside** the courtyard **and then placed** the remaining blood on an altar **outside** the courtyard, in both cases he is **liable** for placing the blood outside the courtyard, **as** the blood in **its entirety is fit** to be placed on the altar **inside** the courtyard. If **one collected its blood in two cups** and **placed** the blood from **both of them** on the altar **inside** the courtyard he is **exempt** as he acted appropriately. If he placed the blood from **both of them** on an altar **outside** the courtyard, he is **liable,** as both are fit to be placed inside. If he first placed the blood from **one** cup **inside and** then placed the blood from the other **one outside,** he is **exempt.** By using the blood of the first cup to perform the mitzva of placing the blood on the altar, he thereby rendered the blood in the second cup unfit to be placed on the altar; therefore, there is no liability for placing it on an altar outside. If he first placed the blood from **one** cup **outside and** then placed the blood from the other **one inside,** he is **liable for the external** placement as that blood was fit to be placed inside, **and the internal** placement **atones** for the transgression for which the sin offering was brought. **To what is this matter comparable?** It is comparable **to** a case where one **separated** an animal for **his sin offering and it was lost, and he separated another** animal **in its place, and thereafter, the first** animal **was found.** In that case, **both of them stand** before him and he must sacrifice one as his sin offering. If **he slaughtered both of them inside** the courtyard, he is **exempt.** If he slaughtered **both of them outside** the courtyard, he is **liable,** as each was fit to be slaughtered in the courtyard. If he first slaughtered **one inside and** then slaughtered the other **one outside** he is **exempt** from liability for slaughtering the second, as he has already fulfilled his obligation with the first, thereby rendering the second one unfit for sacrifice. If he first slaughtered **one outside and** then slaughtered the other **one inside** he is **liable for** slaughtering **the external** animal outside the courtyard, as it was fit to be slaughtered inside, **and the internal** animal **atones** for the transgression for which the sin offering was brought. The mishna adds: In a case where one slaughtered both inside the courtyard, **just as** placing **the blood of** the first animal **exempts** one who consumes **its meat** from liability for misuse of consecrated property, **so too, it exempts** one who consumes **the meat of its counterpart,** the second animal, from liability.
