[Zevachim 90b:1](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Zevachim/r/90b:1)

מַאי, לָאו דְּחַג? לָא, לִנְדָבָה. פָּרִים קוֹדְמִין לְאֵילִים – שֶׁכֵּן נִתְרַבּוּ בִּנְסָכִים. וְכֵן אֵילִים לִכְבָשִׂים. כְּבָשִׂים לִשְׂעִירִים – שֶׁכֵּן נִתְרַבּוּ בְּאַלְיָה.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
**What, is it not** referring to the additional offerings **of the festival** of *Sukkot*? If so, the *baraita* is teaching that bulls, rams, and sheep, which are burnt offerings, precede the sin offerings of male goats. The Gemara answers: **No,** with regard to all these animals the *baraita* is referring **to gift** offerings. The Gemara interprets the *baraita* in accordance with this explanation: **Bulls precede rams, as** they require **a greater** quantity **of libations; and likewise rams** precede **sheep** for the same reason. **Sheep** precede **male goats,** although their libations are identical, **as** the portions of the sheep consumed on the altar are **greater;** the sheep’s **tail** is burned, whereas the goat’s tail is not.

תָּא שְׁמַע: פַּר כֹּהֵן מָשִׁיחַ קוֹדֵם לְפַר הֶעְלֵם דָּבָר שֶׁל צִבּוּר, פַּר הֶעְלֵם דָּבָר שֶׁל צִבּוּר קוֹדֵם לְפַר עֲבוֹדָה זָרָה,

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
The Gemara suggests: **Come** and **hear** a *baraita* which seems to contradict the principle that a sin offering always precedes a burnt offering: **The bull of** the **anointed priest,** i.e., the High Priest, which he sacrifices if he issues and then acts upon an erroneous halakhic ruling, **precedes** the **bull for an unwitting communal sin,** sacrificed if the Sanhedrin issues an erroneous halakhic ruling and the community then acts upon it. Similarly, the **bull for an unwitting communal sin precedes** the **bull** sacrificed as a burnt offering to atone **for** an unwitting communal sin involving **idol worship.**


###### Zevachim 90b:3
[Zevachim 90b:3](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Zevachim/r/90b:3)

פַּר עֲבוֹדָה זָרָה קוֹדֵם לִשְׂעִירֵי עֲבוֹדָה זָרָה. דְּאַף עַל גַּב דְּפַר עֲבוֹדָה זָרָה עוֹלָה, וּשְׂעִירֵי עֲבוֹדָה זָרָה חַטָּאת!

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
The *baraita* continues: The **bull** sacrificed as atonement **for** communal **idol worship precedes** the **male goats** that atone **for idol worship,** i.e., the goat sacrificed together with the bull. This is the *halakha* **even though** the **bull** that atones **for idol worship** is **a burnt offering, and** the **male goats** sacrificed as atonement **for idol worship** are **sin offerings.** This *baraita* seems to contradict the statement of the previous *baraita* that a sin offering always precedes a burnt offering.


###### Zevachim 90b:4
[Zevachim 90b:4](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Zevachim/r/90b:4)

וְאֵימָא מֵרֵישָׁא: פַּר הֶעְלֵם דָּבָר שֶׁל צִבּוּר קוֹדֵם לְפַר עֲבוֹדָה זָרָה!

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
The Gemara responds: **But** you can **say** that the opposite conclusion is derived **from the first clause** of that *baraita*, as at least the first clause supports the principle that sin offerings take precedence: The **bull for an unwitting communal sin,** which is a sin offering, **precedes** the **bull** sacrificed to atone **for** an unwitting communal sin involving **idol worship,** which is a burnt offering.


###### Zevachim 90b:5
[Zevachim 90b:5](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Zevachim/r/90b:5)

בְּחַד מִינָא מִיהָא לָא קָאָמְרִינַן, דְּחַטָּאת קָדְמָה. כִּי קָאָמְרִינַן בִּתְרֵי מִינֵי – אַשְׁכְּחַן עוֹלָה דְּקָדְמָה לְחַטָּאת!

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
The Gemara dismisses this answer: **In any event, with regard to** offerings that are both of **one species** of animal, **we did not say** there is any doubt **that a sin offering takes precedence. When we say** there is a contradiction between the rulings of the *baraitot*, it is **with regard to** offerings of **two species.** According to the earlier *baraita*, even a bird sin offering precedes an animal burnt offering, whereas here **we find a burnt offering that precedes a sin offering.**


###### Zevachim 90b:6
[Zevachim 90b:6](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Zevachim/r/90b:6)

אָמְרִי בְּמַעְרְבָא מִשְּׁמֵיהּ דְּרָבָא בַּר מָרִי: חַטַּאת עֲבוֹדָה זָרָה חָסֵר א׳ – ״לְחַטָּת״ כְּתִיב. רָבִינָא אָמַר: ״כַּמִּשְׁפָּט״ כְּתִיב בְּהוּ.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
The Gemara answers: **They say in the West,** Eretz Yisrael, **in the name of Rava bar Mari:** The **sin offering** sacrificed to atone **for idol worship is** written **without an *alef*** (see Numbers 15:24). **It is written *lamed*, *ḥet*, *tet*, *tav*.** This indicates that it is different from other sin offerings in that it does not precede the burnt offering. **Ravina says** that the term **“according to the ordinance” is written with regard to** the offerings sacrificed to atone for idol-worship, in the verse: “The congregation shall offer one young bull…according to the ordinance, and one goat for a sin offering” (Numbers 15:24). This mention of an ordinance indicates that they must be sacrificed in the precise order stated by the verse.

הַשְׁתָּא דְּאָתֵית לְהָכִי, אֲפִילּוּ תֵּימָא פָּרִים דְּחַג נָמֵי – ״כְּמִשְׁפָּטָם״ כְּתִיב בְּהוּ.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
The Gemara comments: **Now that you have arrived at this** explanation, the previous *baraita* can be explained in a similar manner: **Even** if **you say** that the *baraita* is referring to the **bulls** and other offerings **of the festival** of *Sukkot*, there is **also** no difficulty with regard to the burnt offering sheep taking precedence over the sin offering male goats, as the term **“according to their ordinance” is written concerning** these offerings as well (see Numbers 29:33).

[Zevachim 90b:8](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Zevachim/r/90b:8)

אִיבַּעְיָא לְהוּ: חַטַּאת הָעוֹף וְעוֹלַת בְּהֵמָה וּמַעֲשֵׂר, אֵיזוֹ מֵהֶן קוֹדֵם? תִּיקְדּוֹם חַטַּאת הָעוֹף – אִיכָּא מַעֲשֵׂר דְּקָדֵים לַהּ. לִיקְדּוֹם מַעֲשֵׂר – אִיכָּא עוֹלַת בְּהֵמָה דְּקָדְמָה לֵיהּ. תִּיקְדּוֹם עוֹלַת בְּהֵמָה – אִיכָּא חַטַּאת הָעוֹף דְּקָדְמָה לַהּ.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
**A dilemma** ensuing from the conclusion of the previous discussion **was raised before** the Sages: If there is **a bird sin offering, and an animal burnt offering, and** an animal **tithe** offering to be sacrificed, **which of them precedes** the others? If you say that **the bird sin offering should take precedence, there is** the animal **tithe** offering **that** generally **precedes it,** since it requires slaughtering, as stated by the mishna. If you say that the animal **tithe** offering **should take precedence, there is** the **animal burnt offering that precedes it,** as the burnt offering is an offering of the most sacred order. If you say that the **animal burnt offering should take precedence, there is the bird sin offering that precedes it,** as the Gemara previously concluded.


###### Zevachim 90b:9
[Zevachim 90b:9](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Zevachim/r/90b:9)

הָכָא תַּרְגִּימוּ: מִין זֶבַח עֲדִיף. בְּמַעְרְבָא אָמְרִי: עָיְילָא בַּהּ עוֹלַת בְּהֵמָה בְּחַטַּאת הָעוֹף, וְאַגְבַּהְתַּהּ מִמַּעֲשֵׂר.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
The Gemara answers: **Here,** in Babylonia, **they explained** that the fact that the animal tithe offering is **a type of** offering that requires **slaughtering** is of **greater** importance than the other factors. Therefore, the animal tithe offering is sacrificed first, followed by the bird sin offering, and finally the animal burnt offering. **In the West,** Eretz Yisrael, **they say:** The **animal burnt offering has an effect on the bird sin offering** sacrificed with it **and raises its** importance **above** that of the animal **tithe** offering. Therefore, the bird sin offering is sacrificed first, followed by the animal burnt offering, and finally the animal tithe offering.

[Zevachim 90b:10](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Zevachim/r/90b:10)

**מַתְנִי׳** כׇּל הַחַטָּאוֹת שֶׁבַּתּוֹרָה קוֹדְמוֹת לָאֲשָׁמוֹת, חוּץ מֵאֲשַׁם מְצוֹרָע – מִפְּנֵי שֶׁהוּא בָּא עַל הֶכְשֵׁר.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
**MISHNA:** **All the sin offerings** mandated **by the Torah take precedence over the guilt offerings,** as explained in the previous mishna (89a), **except for the guilt offering of a leper, because it comes to** render one **fit.** One who has been cured of leprosy must undergo a process through which he is rendered ritually pure before coming into contact with consecrated items. Although he must also bring a sin offering, his guilt offering is more central to that process of purification and therefore it takes precedence over the sin offering.


###### Zevachim 90b:11
[Zevachim 90b:11](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Zevachim/r/90b:11)

כָּל הָאֲשָׁמוֹת שֶׁבַּתּוֹרָה בָּאִין בְּנֵי שְׁתַּיִם וּבָאִין בְּכֶסֶף שְׁקָלִים, חוּץ מֵאֲשַׁם נָזִיר וַאֲשַׁם מְצוֹרָע – שֶׁהֵן בָּאִין בְּנֵי שֶׁנָּתָן, וְאֵין בָּאִין בְּכֶסֶף שְׁקָלִים.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
**All the guilt offerings** mandated **by the Torah come** as rams **in their second year, and come worth** two **silver shekels, except for the guilt offering of a nazirite and the guilt offering of a leper, as they come** from sheep **in their** first **year, and do not** need to **come worth** two **silver shekels,** as they have no fixed value.

כְּשֵׁם שֶׁקּוֹדְמִין בְּהַקְרָבָתָן, קוֹדְמִין בַּאֲכִילָתָן. שְׁלָמִים שֶׁל אֶמֶשׁ וּשְׁלָמִים שֶׁל יוֹם – שֶׁל אֶמֶשׁ קוֹדְמִין לְשֶׁל יוֹם. שְׁלָמִים שֶׁל אֶמֶשׁ, חַטָּאת וְאָשָׁם שֶׁל הַיּוֹם – שְׁלָמִים שֶׁל אֶמֶשׁ קוֹדְמִין. דִּבְרֵי רַבִּי מֵאִיר. וַחֲכָמִים אוֹמְרִים: חַטָּאת קוֹדֶמֶת, מִפְּנֵי שֶׁהִיא קׇדְשֵׁי קָדָשִׁים.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
**Just as** the more sacred offerings **precede** other offerings **with regard to their sacrifice,** as taught in the previous mishna (89a), **they** also **precede** the others **with regard to their consumption.** If one has **a peace offering from yesterday and a peace offering from today,** the peace offering **from yesterday precedes** the peace offering **from today.** If one has **a peace offering from yesterday** and **a sin offering or a guilt offering from today,** the **peace offering from yesterday precedes** the others; this is **the statement of Rabbi Meir. And the Rabbis say:** The **sin offering precedes** the peace offering, **due to** the fact **that it is an offering of the most sacred order.** Likewise, the guilt offering precedes the peace offering, as it is also of the most sacred order.

וְכוּלָּן הַכֹּהֲנִים רַשָּׁאִין לְשַׁנּוֹת בַּאֲכִילָתָן – לְאָכְלָן צְלוּיִן וּשְׁלוּקִין וּמְבוּשָּׁלִין, לָתֵת לְתוֹכוֹ תַּבְלֵי חוּלִּין וְתַבְלֵי תְרוּמָה. דִּבְרֵי רַבִּי שִׁמְעוֹן. רַבִּי מֵאִיר אוֹמֵר: לֹא יִתֵּן לְתוֹכוֹ תַּבְלֵי תְרוּמָה, שֶׁלֹּא יָבִיא הַתְּרוּמָה לִידֵי פְסוּל.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
**And** with regard to **all of** the offerings that are eaten, **the priests are permitted to alter** the manner of **their consumption** and eat them as they choose. Therefore, the priests are permitted **to eat them roasted, or boiled, or cooked,** and **to place in** the cooking pot **non-sacred spices or *teruma* spices.** This is **the statement of Rabbi Shimon. Rabbi Meir says: One may not place *teruma* spices in it,** so **that he will not bring the *teruma* to** a state **of disqualification.** Consumption of consecrated foods is permitted only for a limited period, after which they are disqualified and burned. Adding *teruma* spices might cause those spices to be similarly disqualified.

**גְּמָ׳** אִיבַּעְיָא לְהוּ: תָּדִיר וּמְקוּדָּשׁ, אֵיזֶה מֵהֶם קוֹדֵם? תָּדִיר קוֹדֵם – מִשּׁוּם דִּתְדִיר, אוֹ דִלְמָא מְקוּדָּשׁ קָדֵים – דְּקַדִּישׁ? תָּא שְׁמַע: תְּמִידִין קוֹדְמִין לְמוּסָפִין.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
**GEMARA:** **A dilemma was raised before** the Sages: The *mishnayot* (89a) taught that a frequent offering precedes other offerings, and also that an offering of greater sanctity precedes others. If there is **a frequent** offering **and** an offering **of** greater **sanctity** to be sacrificed, **which of them precedes** the other? Does the **frequent** offering **take precedence, due to** the fact **that** it is **frequent, or perhaps** the offering **of** greater **sanctity takes precedence, as** it is **of** greater **sanctity?** The Gemara suggests: **Come** and **hear** the ruling of the first mishna in this chapter, that the **daily offerings precede** the **additional offerings** because they are frequent.
