What areas cause even disqualified items to become sanctified? The altar, the ramp, the holy vessels. If items remain at the top of the altar all night, does that prevent them from becoming disqulaified (lina)? What about the airspace of the altar and the ramp?

Today’s shiur is sponsored in memory of ישראל נפתלי בן יהודה וקיילא ז”ל.

What items need to be removed if brought onto the altar? What is the status of items that are connected to the meat but not the meat itself, like bones, hooves, horns, sinews? What items that have fallen of the altar need to be put back on? Does it depend on when they fell off?

Blood from a sin offering is disqualified if brought into the sanctuary. Is the same true for sin offering blood that was meant to be presented in the sanctuary and was brought into the kodesh hakodashim? The sources are brought for the debate between Rabbi Eliezer and Rabbi Shimon about the prohibition being only if the blood was presenting in the sanctuary or even if it was just brought inside. Rabbi Yehuda exempts blood that was accidentally brought into the sanctuary – but would he say that if it was brought intentionally, would it be disqualified only if it was presented or not? The new chapter starts with a debate regarding what disqualified items are sanctified if they are in any case brought on the altar – such that if they were put on the altar, one does not need to remove them. Five different opinions are presented.

There are varying opinions on several issues relating to blood that is meant to be brought on outer altar that is disqualified if it was brought into the sanctuary – from what verse is it derived from, does it apply to all sacrifices, does it apply only if one sprinkled the blood there and not just by walking inside with the blood? If blood of one sin offering is placed in two cups and one is brought outside or one is brought into the sanctuary, is the other cup (that is still in the azara) disqualified?

Rav Ashi’s opinion about Rabbi Eliezer in the mishna in Parah didn’t make sense in light of our mishna and on account of that, Rava explains that our mishna is not referring to bloods mixed together in the same cup but cups of blood that got mixed up with each other and we don’t know which cup is from which type of sacrifice. There is a debate between emoraim about whether the remainder of the bloods need to be spilled into the flat part on the base of the altar or can it be spilled on the side of the altar? Several sources are brought as questions to one of the opinions.

Reish Lakish brings a case of someone eating pigul and notar at the same time and says that one can’t get lashes for that. The gemara makes 3 assumptions about Reish Lakish’s opinion but then questions one of them and rejects it. The gemara also questions Reish Lakish based on our mishna and concludes that our mishna holds by Rabbi Yehuda and Reish Lakish holds like the rabbis. The gemara then brings a contradiction between 2 sources relating to Rabbi Yehuda’s opinion. The argument mentioned at the end of the mishna between Rabbi Eliezer and tanna kamma is also explained – 2 opinions are brought to explain what is the basis of their argument.
