Zevachim 105A

בתר רוב אבר שדינן ליה, והא נפק ליה; או דלמא בתר בהמה שדינן ליה? תיקו.

by casting it after the majority of that limb, and the majority of that limb did leave? Or perhaps we determine its status by casting it after the half of the animal, which did not leave the courtyard. The Talmud concludes: The dilemma of R' Elazar should stand unresolved.

רבה בר רב הונא מתני לה בגברי, במתעסקין בו חמשה בני אדם, ונפקו תלתא ופשו להו תרי ⁠– מאי? בתר רוב מתעסקין אזלינן, או בתר בהמה אזלינן? תיקו.

Rabba bar Rav Huna teaches this dilemma with regard to people: In a case where 5 people are handling an offering and carrying it out to be burned, and 3 of them emerged and two of them remained in the Temple courtyard, such that the animal is partly inside and partly outside, what is the halakha? Do we follow the majority of the people handling the offering, who have left the courtyard, or do we follow the animal, the majority of which did not yet leave? The Talmud concludes: The dilemma should stand unresolved.

בעי רבי אלעזר: פרים ושעירים הנשרפים שיצאו וחזרו, מהו? מי אמרינן: כיון דנפקי להו ⁠– איטמו להו; או דלמא, כיון דהדור הדור?

R' Elazar raises another dilemma: If bulls and goats that are burned left the Temple courtyard and returned, what is the halakha with regard to the garments of those who carry them inside the courtyard? Do we say: Once they left, they became impure? Or perhaps once they return, they return and do not render garments impure?

אמר רבי אבא בר ממל, תא שמע: היו סובלין אותן במוטות, הראשונים יצאו חוץ לחומת העזרה והאחרונים לא יצאו ⁠– הראשונים שיצאו חוץ לחומת העזרה מטמאין בגדים, והאחרונים אין מטמאין בגדים עד שיצאו. ואי סלקא דעתך כיון דנפקי להו איטמו ⁠– הנך דאיכא גואי (ליטמא) [ליטמו]!

R' Abba bar Memel says: Come and hear the Mishnah: They would carry the bulls and the goats that are burned suspended on poles. When the first priests, carrying the front of the pole, emerged beyond the wall of the Temple courtyard and the latter ones did not yet emerge, the first ones, who emerged beyond the wall of the Temple courtyard, render their garments impure, but the latter ones do not render their garments impure until they emerge. R' Abba bar Memel explains: And if it enters your mind to say that once they leave, they become impure, these latter ones mentioned in the Mishnah who are still inside should be rendered impure, since the offering itself has emerged. It follows that if the offering returns, their garments are not rendered impure.
