Text Excerpt
כל שפסולו בגופו — ישרף מיד. בדם ובבעלים — תעובר צורתן ויוצאין לבית השריפה. אמר ליה: האי תנא, תנא דבי רבה בר אבוה הוא, דאמר: אפילו פיגול טעון עיבור צורה.
Any offering that has a disqualification in the body of the animal, i.e., it has a definite disqualification with regard to the meat itself, should be burned immediately. If it has a disqualification in the blood of the animal, e.g., if the blood was spilled, or a disqualification of its owner, e.g., if the owner became impure, then it should be left until its form is decayed and taken out to the place designated for burning. R' Shimon ben Lakish said to him: This tanna, R' Yishmael, son of R' Yoḥanan ben Beroka, is of the same opinion as the tanna who taught in the school of Rabba bar Avuh, who said: Even piggul, an offering that was invalidated due to inappropriate intent while being offered, requires decay of form. Even with regard to an inherent disqualification in the meat of the offering, where the Torah says explicitly that the offering should be burned, as is the case with regard to piggul, the animal should be set aside until the next day, when its form has decayed.
איתיביה: נטמא או שנפסל הבשר, או שיצא חוץ לקלעים, רבי אליעזר אומר: יזרוק, רבי יהושע אומר: לא יזרוק. ומודה רבי יהושע שאם זרק — הורצה.
R' Yoḥanan raised a further objection to the opinion of R' Shimon ben Lakish based on another baraita, where it is taught: If the meat became impure or disqualified, or if it was taken out of the walls that delineate its permitted area, R' Eliezer says: He sprinkles the blood of these offerings nonetheless, as in his opinion the blood may be sprinkled regardless of the status of the meat of the offering. R' Yehoshua says: He does not sprinkle the blood unless the meat is fit to be brought as an offering. And R' Yehoshua concedes that if the blood was sprinkled, the offering is accepted.
