Text Excerpt

מתני׳ אחד קדשים כשרין ואחד קדשים פסולין, שהיה פסולן בקודש והקריבן בחוץ ⁠– חייב.

Mishnah: With regard to both fit sacrificial animals, and unfit sacrificial animals whose disqualification occurred in sanctity, i.e., in the course of the Temple service, and one sacrificed them outside the Temple courtyard, he is liable.

המעלה כזית מן העולה ומן האימורין בחוץ ⁠– חייב.

One who offers up outside the courtyard an olive-bulk made up of the flesh of a burnt offering and of its sacrificial portions is liable.

גמ׳ תנו רבנן: ״אשר יעלה עלה או זבח״⁠ – אין לי אלא עולה; מנין לרבות אימורי אשם, ואימורי חטאת, ואימורי קדשי קדשים, ואימורי קדשים קלים? תלמוד לומר: ״זבח״.

Talmud: A baraita states: The verse states with regard to offering up outside the courtyard: “That offers up a burnt offering or sacrifice, and he will not bring it to the entrance of the Tent of Meeting, to sacrifice it to YHWH” (Leviticus 17:8–9). From the term “burnt offering” I have derived only that one is liable for offering up a burnt offering, which is burned entirely on the altar. From where do I derive to include that one is liable for offering up outside the courtyard the sacrificial portions of a guilt offering, the sacrificial portions of a sin offering, the sacrificial portions of offerings of the most sacred order, or the sacrificial portions of offerings of lesser sanctity? The verse states: “Sacrifice,” which includes the sacrificial portions of all other offerings that are to be burned on the altar.

מנין לרבות הקומץ, והלבונה, והקטורת, ומנחת כהנים, ומנחת כהן משיח, והמנסך שלשת לוגין יין, ושלשת לוגין מים? תלמוד לומר: ״ואל פתח אהל מועד לא יביאנו״⁠ – כל הבא לפתח אהל מועד, חייבין עליו בחוץ.

From where is it derived to include that one is liable for offering up outside the courtyard the handful taken from a meal offering; the frankincense that was to be offered with it; the incense, which was offered each day in the Sanctuary; the meal offering of priests; the meal offering of the anointed priest, i.e., the High Priest, which he offered daily; and to include as liable one who pours as a libation 3 log of wine, which is the volume of the smallest wine libation used in the Temple; or one who pours as a libation 3 log of water that was consecrated to be used as a libation during the festival of Sukkot? The verse states: “And he will not bring it to the entrance of the Tent of Meeting” (Leviticus 17:9), which indicates that with regard to any offering that is fit to be brought to the entrance of the Tent of Meeting to be offered there upon the altar, one is liable for offering it up outside the courtyard.
