🐑 Mishnah Zevachim 11

דַּם חַטָּאת שֶׁנִּתַּז עַל הַבֶּגֶד, הֲרֵי זֶה טָעוּן כִּבּוּס. אַף עַל פִּי שֶׁאֵין הַכָּתוּב מְדַבֵּר אֶלָּא בַנֶּאֱכָלוֹת, שֶׁנֶּאֱמַר (ויקרא ו), בְּמָקוֹם קָדֹשׁ תֵּאָכֵל, אֶחָד הַנֶּאֱכֶלֶת וְאֶחָד הַפְּנִימִית טְעוּנוֹת כִּבּוּס, שֶׁנֶּאֱמַר (שם), תּוֹרַת הַחַטָּאת, תּוֹרָה אַחַת לְכָל הַחַטָּאוֹת:

In the case of the blood of a sin offering designated for presentation that was sprayed on a garment, that garment requires laundering, as is stated with regard to a sin offering: “And when any of its blood shall be sprinkled on a garment, you shall launder that on which it shall be sprinkled in a sacred place” (Leviticus 6:20). Although the verse is speaking only of sin offerings that are eaten and whose blood is presented on the outer altar, as it is stated: “In a sacred place shall it be eaten” (Leviticus 6:19), the principle is not exclusive to eaten sin offerings. With regard to the blood of both the sin offerings that are eaten and the sin offerings that are wholly burned and not eaten and whose blood is presented on the inner altar, garments sprayed with blood from each of these offerings require laundering. As it is stated at the start of that passage: “This is the law of the sin offering” (Leviticus 6:18), it is understood: There is one law for all the sin offerings.

חַטָּאת פְּסוּלָה אֵין דָּמָהּ טָעוּן כִּבּוּס, בֵּין שֶׁהָיָה לָהּ שְׁעַת הַכֹּשֶׁר, בֵּין שֶׁלֹּא הָיָה לָהּ שְׁעַת הַכּשֶׁר. אֵיזוֹ הִיא שֶׁהָיָה לָהּ שְׁעַת הַכּשֶׁר. שֶׁלָּנָה, שֶׁנִּטְמְאָה, וְשֶׁיָּצְאָה. וְאֵיזוֹ הִיא שֶׁלֹּא הָיָה לָהּ שְׁעַת הַכּשֶׁר. שֶׁנִּשְׁחֲטָה חוּץ לִזְמַנָּהּ וְחוּץ לִמְקוֹמָהּ, וְשֶׁקִּבְּלוּ פְסוּלִין וְזָרְקוּ אֶת דָּמָה:

That is the halakha with regard to sin offerings fit for sacrifice. With regard to a disqualified sin offering, its blood does not cause a garment to require laundering whether the offering had a period of fitness when its blood was fit for presentation or whether it did not have a period of fitness. Which offering is the disqualified sin offering that had a period of fitness? It is one that was left overnight and then became disqualified; or it is one that became ritually impure; or it is one that emerged from of the Temple courtyard. Which offering is the disqualified sin offering that did not have a period of fitness? It is one that was slaughtered with the intent to eat it or present its blood beyond its designated time or outside its designated area; or it is one whose blood was collected by people disqualified for Temple service and they sprinkled its blood.

נִתַּז מִן הַצַּוָּאר עַל הַבֶּגֶד, אֵינוֹ טָעוּן כִּבּוּס. מִן הַקֶּרֶן וּמִן הַיְסוֹד, אֵינוֹ טָעוּן כִּבּוּס. נִשְׁפַּךְ עַל הָרִצְפָּה וַאֲסָפוֹ, אֵינוֹ טָעוּן כִּבּוּס. אֵין טָעוּן כִּבּוּס אֶלָּא הַדָּם שֶׁנִּתְקַבֵּל בִּכְלִי וְרָאוּי לְהַזָּיָה. נִתַּז עַל הָעוֹר עַד שֶׁלֹּא הֻפְשַׁט, אֵינוֹ טָעוּן כִּבּוּס. מִשֶּׁהֻפְשַׁט, טָעוּן כִּבּוּס, דִּבְרֵי רַבִּי יְהוּדָה. רַבִּי אֱלִיעֶזֶר אוֹמֵר, אַף מִשֶּׁהֻפְשַׁט אֵינוֹ טָעוּן כִּבּוּס. אֵינוֹ טָעוּן כִּבּוּס אֶלָּא מְקוֹם הַדָּם, וְדָבָר שֶׁהוּא רָאוּי לְקַבֵּל טֻמְאָה, וְרָאוּי לְכִבּוּס:

If the blood of a sin offering sprayed from the neck of the animal onto a garment, the garment does not require laundering. If the blood was collected in a vessel and sprinkled on the altar and sprayed from the corner or from the base of the altar onto the garment, the garment does not require laundering, as the blood was already sprinkled and its mitzva was fulfilled. If the blood spilled from the neck onto the floor before it was collected in a vessel, and the priest collected the blood and it sprayed on a garment, the garment does not require laundering. It is only with regard to blood that was received in a sacred vessel and is fit for sprinkling that the garment requires laundering. Apropos laundering the blood of a sin offering from garments onto which it sprayed, the mishna discusses what is considered a garment. If the blood of a sin offering sprayed onto the hide of an animal before it was flayed from the animal, the hide does not require laundering, because its status is not that of a garment, which is susceptible to ritual impurity. If the blood sprayed onto the hide after it was flayed, it requires laundering; this is the statement of Rabbi Yehuda. Rabbi Elazar says: Even if the blood sprayed onto the hide after it was flayed, it does not require laundering until it is crafted into a vessel or garment that is actually susceptible to ritual impurity. This is the principle with regard to laundering: A garment must be laundered only in the place where the blood was sprayed, and only if it is an item that is fit to become ritually impure, and only if it is an item fit for laundering.

אֶחָד הַבֶּגֶד וְאֶחָד הַשַּׂק וְאֶחָד הָעוֹר, טְעוּנִין כִּבּוּס בְּמָקוֹם קָדוֹשׁ. וּשְׁבִירַת כְּלִי חֶרֶס, בְּמָקוֹם קָדוֹשׁ. וּמְרִיקָה וּשְׁטִיפָה בִּכְלִי נְחשֶׁת, בְּמָקוֹם קָדוֹשׁ. זֶה חֹמֶר בַּחַטָּאת מִקָּדְשֵׁי קָדָשִׁים:

With regard to the garment mentioned explicitly in the Torah, and the sackcloth, and the hide, all of these require laundering. And the laundering must be performed in a sacred place, the Temple courtyard, and the breaking of an earthenware vessel in which a sin offering was cooked must be performed in a sacred place, and scouring and rinsing of a copper vessel in which a sin offering was cooked must be performed in a sacred place. With regard to this matter, a stringency applies to a sin offering more than it applies to offerings of the most sacred order.

בֶּגֶד שֶׁיָּצָא חוּץ לַקְּלָעִים, נִכְנָס וּמְכַבְּסוֹ בְמָקוֹם קָדוֹשׁ. נִטְמָא חוּץ לַקְּלָעִים, קוֹרְעוֹ, וְנִכְנָס וּמְכַבְּסוֹ בְמָקוֹם קָדוֹשׁ. כְּלִי חֶרֶס שֶׁיָּצָא חוּץ לַקְּלָעִים, נִכְנָס וְשׁוֹבְרוֹ בְמָקוֹם קָדוֹשׁ. נִטְמָא חוּץ לַקְּלָעִים, נוֹקְבוֹ, וְנִכְנָס וְשׁוֹבְרוֹ בְמָקוֹם קָדוֹשׁ:

With regard to a garment upon which the blood of a sin offering was sprayed that went outside the curtains, i.e., the Temple courtyard, before being laundered, the garment reenters the courtyard and one launders it in a sacred place. If the garment became ritually impure outside the curtains, one tears the garment in order to render it ritually pure, enters the courtyard with it, and launders it in a sacred place. With regard to an earthenware vessel in which a sin offering was cooked that went outside the curtains, the vessel reenters the courtyard and one breaks it in a sacred place. If the vessel became ritually impure outside the curtains, one punctures the vessel to render it ritually pure, and one enters the courtyard with it and breaks it in a sacred place.

כְּלִי נְחשֶׁת שֶׁיָּצָא חוּץ לַקְּלָעִים, נִכְנָס וּמוֹרְקוֹ וְשׁוֹטְפוֹ בְמָקוֹם קָדוֹשׁ. נִטְמָא חוּץ לַקְּלָעִים, פּוֹחֲתוֹ, וְנִכְנָס וּמוֹרְקוֹ וְשׁוֹטְפוֹ בְמָקוֹם קָדוֹשׁ:

With regard to a copper vessel in which a sin offering was cooked that went outside the curtains, the vessel reenters the courtyard, and one scours it and rinses it in a sacred place. If the vessel became ritually impure outside the curtains, one breaks the vessel by boring a large hole in it to render it ritually pure and enters the courtyard with it and scours and rinses it in a sacred place.

אֶחָד שֶׁבִּשֵּׁל בּוֹ וְאֶחָד שֶׁעֵרָה לְתוֹכוֹ רוֹתֵחַ, אֶחָד קָדְשֵׁי קָדָשִׁים וְאֶחָד קָדָשִׁים קַלִּים, טְעוּנִין מְרִיקָה וּשְׁטִיפָה. רַבִּי שִׁמְעוֹן אוֹמֵר, קָדָשִׁים קַלִּים אֵינָן טְעוּנִין מְרִיקָה וּשְׁטִיפָה. רַבִּי טַרְפוֹן אוֹמֵר, אִם בִּשֵּׁל בּוֹ מִתְּחִלַּת הָרֶגֶל, יְבַשֵּׁל בּוֹ אֶת כָּל הָרָגֶל. וַחֲכָמִים אוֹמְרִים, עַד זְמַן אֲכִילָה. מְרִיקָה וּשְׁטִיפָה, מְרִיקָה כִּמְרִיקַת הַכּוֹס, וּשְׁטִיפָה כִּשְׁטִיפַת הַכּוֹס. מְרִיקָה בְּחַמִּין וּשְׁטִיפָה בְּצּוֹנֵן. וְהַשַּׁפּוּד וְהָאַסְכְּלָה מַגְעִילָן בְּחַמִּין:

Whether with regard to a copper vessel in which one cooked the meat of an offering or whether with regard to one into which one poured the boiling meat of an offering, whether the meat is from offerings of the most sacred order or whether it is from offerings of lesser sanctity, such vessels require scouring and rinsing. Rabbi Shimon says: Vessels in which offerings of lesser sanctity were cooked or poured do not require scouring and rinsing. Rabbi Tarfon says: If one cooked a sin offering in a copper vessel from the beginning of the pilgrimage Festival, one may cook in it for the entire pilgrimage Festival; he need not scour and rinse the vessel after every use. And the Rabbis say: One may not continue using it in this manner; rather, one must perform scouring and rinsing before the end of the period during which partaking of the particular cooked offering is permitted. Scouring is like the scouring of the inside of a cup, the cleaning done when wine sticks to the cup, and rinsing is like the rinsing of the outside of a cup. Scouring is performed with hot water, and rinsing with cold water. With regard to the spit and the metal grill [askela], one purges them in hot water.

בִּשֵּׁל בּוֹ קָדָשִׁים וְחֻלִּין, אוֹ קָדְשֵׁי קָדָשִׁים וְקָדָשִׁים קַלִּים, אִם יֵשׁ בָּהֶן בְּנוֹתֵן טַעַם, הֲרֵי הַקַּלִּים נֶאֱכָלִין כַּחֲמוּרִין, וְאֵינָן טְעוּנִין מְרִיקָה וּשְׁטִיפָה, וְאֵינָם פּוֹסְלִין בְּמַגָּע. רָקִיק שֶׁנָּגַע בְּרָקִיק, וַחֲתִיכָה בַּחֲתִיכָה, לֹא כָל הָרָקִיק וְלֹא כָל הַחֲתִיכוֹת אֲסוּרִין. אֵינוֹ אָסוּר אֶלָּא מְקוֹם שֶׁבָּלָע:

If one cooked in one vessel sacrificial meat and non-sacred meat, or the meat of offerings of the most sacred order and the meat of offerings of lesser sanctity, the status of the food depends upon the taste of the stringent substance. If there is enough of the more sacred meat to impart flavor to the less sacred or non-sacred meat, then the lenient components of the mixtures must be eaten in accordance with the restrictions of the stringent components therein, insofar as who may partake of them, as well as the time when and the place where they may be eaten. And the copper vessels in which the lenient components were cooked do not require scouring and rinsing, and the lenient components do not disqualify pieces of meat through contact. With regard to these principles, the lenient components do not assume the status of the stringent components. In the case of a fit wafer that touched an unfit wafer or a piece of sacrificial meat that touched an unfit piece of sacrificial meat, neither all the wafers nor all the pieces of meat are forbidden. No part is forbidden other than that which is in the place where the item absorbed taste from the unfit wafers or pieces.
