Text Excerpt

רבה מוסיף, אף רבי יוסי הגלילי. דתניא, רבי יוסי הגלילי אומר: כל הענין כולו אינו מדבר אלא בפרים הנשרפים ובשעירין הנשרפין, לשרוף פסוליהן אבית הבירה, וליתן ״לא תעשה״ על אכילתן.

Rabba adds that these tanna’im were not the only ones who maintain this opinion; even R' Yosei HaGelili agreed with them, as it was taught in a baraita that R' Yosei HaGelili says: The entire matter that is stated in the verse: “Any sin-offering from which some blood has been brought to the Tent of Meeting, to make atonement in the sacred place, should not be eaten; it should be burned in fire” (Leviticus 6:23) is not stated with regard to a regular sin-offering improperly brought inside the Sanctuary; rather, it speaks only about bulls that are burned and goats that are burned. These are unique sin-offerings, and the Torah states that their blood should be brought inside the Sanctuary. The verse is stated with regard to these sin-offerings both in order to command the Jewish people to burn the disqualified ones in the place of the bira on the Temple Mount and in order to establish a prohibition with regard to their consumption.

אמרו לו: חטאת שנכנס דמה לפני ולפנים מנין? אמר להן: ״הן לא הובא את דמה אל הקדש פנימה״, מכלל דאי נפיק איהי, אי נמי עייל דמה ⁠— בשריפה.

The Rabbis said to R' Yosei HaGelili: If you expound the verse in this fashion, then with regard to a regular sin-offering whose blood entered inside the Sanctuary, from where is it derived that it must be burned? He said to them: It is derived from the verse: “Behold, its blood was not brought into the Sanctuary within” (Leviticus 10:18). This proves by inference that if the sin-offering is taken out of its permitted area, or alternatively, if its blood enters the Sanctuary, it must be burned immediately without waiting for decay of form.
