[Zevachim 34b:1](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Zevachim/r/34b:1)

וּפָסוּל. תְּיוּבְתָּא דְּרֵישׁ לָקִישׁ! תְּיוּבְתָּא.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
**and** the offering is therefore **disqualified.** The Gemara concludes: **The refutation of** the opinion of **Reish Lakish** is indeed **a conclusive refutation.**


###### Zevachim 34b:2
[Zevachim 34b:2](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Zevachim/r/34b:2)

וְכוּלָּן שֶׁקִּיבְּלוּ כּוּ׳. בְּעָא מִינֵּיהּ רֵישׁ לָקִישׁ מֵרַבִּי יוֹחָנָן: פָּסוּל – מַהוּ שֶׁיַּעֲשֶׂה שִׁירַיִם?

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
§ The mishna teaches: **And** with regard to **all of them,** in a case **where they collected** the blood with the intent to offer it beyond its designated time or outside its designated area, if there is blood of the soul that remains in the animal, the priest fit for Temple service should again collect the blood and sprinkle it on the altar. **Reish Lakish asked Rabbi Yoḥanan:** If an individual **unfit** for Temple service presented the blood, **what is** the *halakha* with regard to the blood that remains in the animal? Does the fact **that he** presented some blood **render** the rest of it **a remainder** and no longer fit to be presented, or perhaps the presenting performed by an unfit individual is not considered valid, and therefore a priest fit for Temple service may present the blood again?


###### Zevachim 34b:3
[Zevachim 34b:3](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Zevachim/r/34b:3)

אֲמַר לֵיהּ: אֵין עוֹשֶׂה שִׁירַיִם אֶלָּא חוּץ לִזְמַנּוֹ וְחוּץ לִמְקוֹמוֹ, הוֹאִיל וּמְרַצֶּה לְפִיגּוּלוֹ.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
Rabbi Yoḥanan **said to him:** An invalid presenting **does not render** the rest of the blood **a remainder unless** it is a case where a priest fit for Temple service presented the blood with the intent to offer it **beyond its** designated **time or outside its** designated **area, since** it is only in that case that the presenting of the blood **effects acceptance,** i.e., it is considered a valid presenting, **with regard to** rendering the offering ***piggul*,** i.e., an offering that was sacrificed with the intent to consume it after its designated time.


###### Zevachim 34b:4
[Zevachim 34b:4](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Zevachim/r/34b:4)

רַב זְבִיד מַתְנֵי הָכִי – בְּעָא מִינֵּיהּ רֵישׁ לָקִישׁ מֵרַבִּי יוֹחָנָן: כּוֹס פָּסוּל, מַהוּ שֶׁיַּעֲשֶׂה שִׁירַיִם? אֲמַר לֵיהּ: פָּסוּל גּוּפֵיהּ מַאי סְבִירָא לָךְ? אִי פָּסוּל מְשַׁוֵּי שִׁירַיִם – כּוֹס פָּסוּל נָמֵי מְשַׁוֵּי שִׁירַיִם. אִי פָּסוּל לָא מְשַׁוֵּי שִׁירַיִם – כּוֹס פָּסוּל נָמֵי לָא מְשַׁוֵּי שִׁירַיִם.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
**Rav Zevid teaches** the matter in **this** way: **Reish Lakish asked Rabbi Yoḥanan:** Concerning **a cup** of **disqualified** blood, e.g., one which had been taken out of the Temple courtyard and was then nevertheless presented on the altar, **what is** the *halakha* with regard to it **rendering** the remaining blood **a remainder** and unfit to be presented? Rabbi Yoḥanan **said to him:** In the case of **an unfit** individual who **himself** presented the blood, **what do you hold** to be the *halakha*? **If an unfit** individual who presented the blood **renders** the remaining blood **a remainder,** then **a cup** of **disqualified** blood should **also render** the remaining blood **a remainder. If an unfit** individual does **not render** the remaining blood **a remainder,** then **a cup** of **disqualified** blood should **also not render** the remaining blood **a remainder.**


###### Zevachim 34b:5
[Zevachim 34b:5](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Zevachim/r/34b:5)

רַב יִרְמְיָה מִדִּיפְתִּי מַתְנֵי הָכִי – בְּעָא מִינֵּיהּ אַבָּיֵי (מֵרָבָא) [מֵרַבָּה]: כּוֹס, מַהוּ שֶׁיַּעֲשֶׂה אֶת חֲבֵירוֹ דָּחוּי אוֹ שִׁירַיִם?

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
**Rav Yirmeya of Difti teaches** the discussion **this** way: **Abaye asked Rabba:** If the blood was collected in more than one cup and the presenting of the blood on the corners of the altar was performed with one **cup, what is** the *halakha*? Does the cup **render** the blood of **the other** cup **rejected,** and it is therefore poured into the drain running through the Temple courtyard, **or** does it render it **a remainder,** which is poured on the base of the altar?


###### Zevachim 34b:6
[Zevachim 34b:6](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Zevachim/r/34b:6)

אֲמַר לֵיהּ: פְּלוּגְתָּא דְּרַבִּי אֶלְעָזָר בְּרַבִּי שִׁמְעוֹן וְרַבָּנַן. דְּתַנְיָא, לְמַעְלָה הוּא אוֹמֵר: ״אֶת דָּמוֹ יִשְׁפֹּךְ״, לְמַטָּה הוּא אוֹמֵר: ״וְאֶת כׇּל דָּמָהּ יִשְׁפֹּךְ״.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
Rabba **said to him:** This is **a dispute between Rabbi Elazar, son of Rabbi Shimon, and the Rabbis. As it is taught** in a *baraita* with regard to the remainder of the blood of the external sin offering: In the verse **above,** discussing the sin offering of a *Nasi*, **it states:** “And **he shall pour its blood** out at the base of the altar of the burnt offering” (Leviticus 4:25). In the verse **below,** discussing the sin offering of an individual, **it states: “And he shall pour all its blood** out at the base of the altar” (Leviticus 4:30).


###### Zevachim 34b:7
[Zevachim 34b:7](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Zevachim/r/34b:7)

מִנַּיִן לְחַטָּאת שֶׁקִּיבֵּל דָּמָהּ בְּאַרְבָּעָה כּוֹסוֹת, וְנָתַן מַתָּנָה אַחַת מִזֶּה וּמַתָּנָה אַחַת מִזֶּה – שֶׁכּוּלָּן נִשְׁפָּכִין לַיְסוֹד? תַּלְמוּד לוֹמַר: ״וְאֶת כׇּל דָּמָהּ יִשְׁפֹּךְ״.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
The discrepancy between the first verse and the second verse, which contains the additional term “all,” is explained as follows: **From where** is it derived **with regard to a sin offering which** the priest **collected its blood in four cups and placed one placement** of blood onto the altar **from this** cup, **and one placement** of blood **from that** cup, and likewise for all four corners of the altar, **that** the remainder of blood from **all** the cups **are poured** out **onto the base** of the altar? **The verse states: “And he shall pour all its blood.”**


###### Zevachim 34b:8
[Zevachim 34b:8](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Zevachim/r/34b:8)

יָכוֹל נָתַן אַרְבַּע מַתָּנוֹת מִכּוֹס אֶחָד, יְהוּ כּוּלָּן נִשְׁפָּכִין לַיְסוֹד? תַּלְמוּד לוֹמַר: ״וְאֶת דָּמוֹ״. הָא כֵּיצַד? הוּא נִשְׁפָּךְ לַיְסוֹד, וְהֵן נִשְׁפָּכִין לָאַמָּה.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
One **might** have thought that if **he placed four placements** of blood of the sin offering **from one cup,** the blood in **all** the rest of the cups **should be poured onto the base** of the altar. Therefore, **the verse states: “And** he shall pour **its blood,”** and not all of its blood. **How so?** Only **that** blood in the cup from which blood was properly presented on the altar **is poured onto the base** of the altar, **and** the rest of the cups of blood are rejected and **are poured into the** Temple courtyard **drain.**


###### Zevachim 34b:9
[Zevachim 34b:9](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Zevachim/r/34b:9)

רַבִּי אֶלְעָזָר בְּרַבִּי שִׁמְעוֹן אוֹמֵר: מִנַּיִן לְחַטָּאת שֶׁקִּיבֵּל דָּמָה בְּאַרְבָּעָה כּוֹסוֹת וְנָתַן אַרְבַּע מַתָּנוֹת מִכּוֹס אֶחָד, שֶׁכּוּלָּן נִשְׁפָּכִין לַיְסוֹד? תַּלְמוּד לוֹמַר: ״וְאֶת כׇּל דָּמָהּ יִשְׁפֹּךְ״. וְהָכְתִיב: ״וְאֶת דָּמוֹ יִשְׁפֹּךְ״! אָמַר רַב אָשֵׁי: הָהוּא לְמַעוֹטֵי שִׁירַיִם שֶׁבְּצַוַּאר בְּהֵמָה.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
The *baraita* continues: **Rabbi Elazar, son of Rabbi Shimon, says: From where** is it derived **with regard to a sin offering which** the priest **collected its blood in four cups and** then **placed four placements from one cup, that** the blood from **all** the cups **are poured** out **onto the base** of the altar? **The verse states: “And he shall pour all its blood.”** The Gemara asks: **But isn’t it written: “And he shall pour its blood,”** which indicates that not all of the blood is poured? **Rav Ashi said: That** verse serves **to exclude** the **remainder that is in the throat of** the **animal** that was never collected in a vessel to be presented, which is not poured onto the base of the altar but into the Temple courtyard drain.


###### Zevachim 34b:10
[Zevachim 34b:10](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Zevachim/r/34b:10)

קִיבֵּל הַכָּשֵׁר וְנָתַן לַפָּסוּל כּוּ׳.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
§ The mishna discussed three similar cases: If **the** priest **fit** for Temple service **collected** the blood in a vessel **and gave** the vessel **to an unfit** person, that person should return it to the fit priest. If the priest collected the blood in a vessel in his right hand and moved it to his left hand, he should return it to his right hand. If the priest collected the blood in a sacred vessel and placed it in a non-sacred vessel, he should return the blood to a sacred vessel.


###### Zevachim 34b:11
[Zevachim 34b:11](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Zevachim/r/34b:11)

וּצְרִיכָא; דְּאִי אַשְׁמְעִינַן פָּסוּל, הֲוָה אָמֵינָא: מַאי ״פָּסוּל״ – טָמֵא, דַּחֲזֵי לַעֲבוֹדַת צִיבּוּר; אֲבָל שְׂמֹאל – לָא.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
The Gemara comments: **And** it was **necessary** to mention all of these cases, **as had** the mishna **taught us** only the case where he gave the blood to **an unfit** individual, **I would say: What** does the term: **Unfit,** mean? It means **an impure** priest, who is not completely unfit, **as** he **is fit for communal service** in the Temple when the priests or the entire community are impure, and that is why the blood is not disqualified; **but** if the priest moved the blood to his **left** hand, which under no circumstances may be used to perform the rite of collecting and carrying the blood, it is **no** longer valid.


###### Zevachim 34b:12
[Zevachim 34b:12](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Zevachim/r/34b:12)

וְאִי אַשְׁמְעִינַן שְׂמֹאל – דְּאִית לֵיהּ הֶכְשֵׁירָא בְּיוֹם הַכִּיפּוּרִים; אֲבָל כְּלֵי חוֹל – לָא.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
**And had** the mishna **taught us** only with regard to moving the blood to his **left** hand that he should return it to his right hand and present it, one would assume that the reason is **that** the left hand **has validity on Yom Kippur,** since the High Priest carries the spoon of incense with his left hand, **but** if he poured the blood into **a non-sacred vessel** then it is **not** valid.


###### Zevachim 34b:13
[Zevachim 34b:13](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Zevachim/r/34b:13)

וְאִי אַשְׁמְעִינַן כְּלֵי חוֹל – מִשּׁוּם דַּחֲזוּ לְקַדּוֹשִׁינְהוּ; אֲבָל הָנָךְ – אֵימָא לָא. צְרִיכָא.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
**And had** the mishna **taught us** only with regard to **a non-sacred vessel** that the blood is not disqualified, one could suggest that perhaps it is **because** the vessels **are suitable to be consecrated, but** with regard to **these,** i.e., an unfit individual and the left hand, which have no possibility of becoming fit for service, **say** that the blood does **not** remain valid. Therefore, it is **necessary** for all of the cases to be mentioned.


###### Zevachim 34b:14
[Zevachim 34b:14](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Zevachim/r/34b:14)

וְלֶיהֱוֵי לֵיהּ דָּחוּי! אֲמַר לֵיהּ רָבִינָא לְרַב אָשֵׁי, הָכִי אָמַר רַב יִרְמְיָה מִדִּיפְתִּי מִשְּׁמֵיהּ דְּרָבָא: הָא מַנִּי – חָנָן הַמִּצְרִי הוּא, דְּלֵית לֵיהּ דְּחוּיִין.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
§ The Gemara questions the actual *halakha*: **But let** the blood **be** considered **rejected** when placed in the hand of the unfit individual, the left hand, or the non-sacred vessel. **Ravina said to Rav Ashi: This is** what **Rav Yirmeya of Difti says in the name of Rava:** In accordance with **whose** opinion **is this** mishna? **It is** in accordance with the opinion of **Ḥanan the Egyptian, who does not** subscribe to the *halakha* of **rejection,** but holds that a sacrifice that was rejected temporarily is not rejected entirely.


###### Zevachim 34b:15
[Zevachim 34b:15](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Zevachim/r/34b:15)

דְּתַנְיָא, חָנָן הַמִּצְרִי אוֹמֵר: אֲפִילּוּ דָּם בַּכּוֹס, מֵבִיא חֲבֵירוֹ וּמְזַוֵּוג לוֹ.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
This is **as it is taught** in a *baraita*: **Ḥanan the Egyptian says:** In the event that the scapegoat of Yom Kippur was lost, **even** if the **blood** of its partner that is sacrificed to God has already been collected **in the cup,** the blood is not rejected, but rather **he brings** another scapegoat as **its counterpart, and pairs it with** the goat that has already been slaughtered, and the blood is sprinkled.


###### Zevachim 34b:16
[Zevachim 34b:16](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Zevachim/r/34b:16)

רַב אָשֵׁי אָמַר: כֹּל שֶׁבְּיָדוֹ – לָא הָוֵי דָּחוּי.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
**Rav Ashi says** that there is another explanation to the mishna: **Anything that is in his power** to rectify **is not** considered **rejected,** as in these cases where he can simply return the blood to its proper place.


###### Zevachim 34b:17
[Zevachim 34b:17](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Zevachim/r/34b:17)

אָמַר רַב שַׁיָּיא: כְּוָותֵיהּ דְּרַב אָשֵׁי מִסְתַּבְּרָא. מַאן שָׁמְעַתְּ לֵיהּ דְּאִית לֵיהּ דְּחוּיִין – רַבִּי יְהוּדָה; דִּתְנַן, וְעוֹד אָמַר רַבִּי יְהוּדָה: נִשְׁפַּךְ הַדָּם – יָמוּת הַמִּשְׁתַּלֵּחַ, מֵת הַמִּשְׁתַּלֵּחַ – יִשָּׁפֵךְ הַדָּם;

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
**Rav Shaya said:** It **is reasonable** to explain the mishna **in accordance with** the opinion **of Rav Ashi,** as **whom have you heard who accepts** the reasoning of **rejection?** It is **Rabbi Yehuda, as we learned** in a mishna (*Yoma* 62a): **And furthermore, Rabbi Yehuda said:** If **the blood** of the goat sacrificed to God **spilled** from the cup before it was sprinkled, **the scapegoat** is left to **die.** Similarly, if **the scapegoat died, the blood** of the goat sacrificed to God **should be spilled,** and two other goats are used. Consequently, Rabbi Yehuda holds that the scapegoat, or in the opposite case, the blood of the goat to be sacrificed to God, is totally rejected.


###### Zevachim 34b:18
[Zevachim 34b:18](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Zevachim/r/34b:18)

וְשָׁמְעִינַן לֵיהּ דְּאָמַר: כֹּל שֶׁבְּיָדוֹ – לָא הָוֵי דָּחוּי. דְּתַנְיָא, רַבִּי יְהוּדָה אוֹמֵר: כּוֹס אֶחָד הָיָה מְמַלֵּא מִדַּם הַתַּעֲרוֹבֶת, וְזוֹרְקוֹ זְרִיקָה אַחַת כְּנֶגֶד הַיְסוֹד. שְׁמַע מִינַּהּ: כֹּל שֶׁבְּיָדוֹ – לָא הָוֵי דָּחוּי! שְׁמַע מִינַּהּ.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
**And** yet, **we have heard that** Rabbi Yehuda **says: Anything that is in his power** to rectify **is not rejected. As it is taught** in a *baraita*: **Rabbi Yehuda says:** A priest **would fill one cup with blood of the** many Paschal offerings brought that day that was now **mixed** together on the floor **and** then **sprinkle it** with **a single sprinkling against the base** of the altar. **Conclude from** the *baraita* that Rabbi Yehuda holds that although the blood originally spilled from the cup, **anything that is in his power** to rectify **is not rejected.** The Gemara affirms: **Conclude from it** that it is so.

גּוּפָא – תַּנְיָא, רַבִּי יְהוּדָה אוֹמֵר: כּוֹס אֶחָד הָיָה מְמַלֵּא מִדַּם הַתַּעֲרוֹבֶת, שֶׁאִם יִשָּׁפֵךְ אֶחָד מֵהֶם – נִמְצָא שֶׁהוּא מַכְשִׁירוֹ. אָמְרוּ לוֹ לְרַבִּי יְהוּדָה: וַהֲלֹא לֹא נִתְקַבֵּל בִּכְלִי! מְנָא יָדְעִי? אֶלָּא שֶׁמָּא לֹא נִתְקַבֵּל בִּכְלִי! אָמַר לָהֶן:

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
§ The Gemara discusses **the** matter **itself: It is taught** in a *baraita*: **Rabbi Yehuda says:** A priest **would fill one cup with the mixed blood,** so **that if one of** the cups with the collected blood of one of the Paschal offerings **were to spill,** it would be **found that this** cup of the mixed blood that was sprinkled **would render** the sacrifice **valid.** The Rabbis **said to Rabbi Yehuda: But** the mixed blood **was not collected in a vessel.** The Gemara asks: **From where do** the Rabbis **know** that the blood was not collected in a vessel? Perhaps it was collected and it spilled out. **Rather,** this is what they are saying: **Perhaps it was not collected in a vessel.** Rabbi Yehuda **said to them:**
