Zevachim 10B

חוזרני חלילה.

I return to my previous claim that a sin offering is unique since its blood is sprinkled above the red line. The discussion is going around [ḥalila] in circles.

חזר רבי אליעזר ודנו דין אחר: חטאת נאמר בה ״היא״ בשחיטה ⁠– היא לשמה כשירה, שלא לשמה פסולה; ופסח נאמר בו ״הוא״ בזביחה ⁠– הוא לשמו כשר, שלא לשמו פסול;

R' Eliezer then presented a different logical inference: With regard to a sin offering, the word “it” is stated concerning slaughter, in the verse: “And slaughter it in the place where they kill the burnt offering before YHWH; it is a sin offering” (Leviticus 4:24). The word “it” teaches that if it is sacrificed for its sake it is fit; if it is sacrificed not for its sake it is unfit. And similarly, with regard to a Paschal offering, the word “it” is stated concerning slaughter [zeviḥa], in the verse: “It is the sacrifice [zevaḥ] of YHWH’s Passover” (Exodus 12:27). Here, the word “it” teaches that if it is sacrificed for its sake it is fit; if it is sacrificed not for its sake it is unfit.

אף אשם נאמר בו ״הוא״⁠ – הוא לשמו כשר, שלא לשמו פסול.

And the word “it” is stated with regard to a guilt offering as well, in the verse: “It is a guilt offering” (Leviticus 7:5). Here too, say that the word “it” teaches that if it is sacrificed for its sake it is fit; if it is sacrificed not for its sake it is unfit.

אמר לו רבי יהושע: חטאת נאמר בה ״היא״ בשחיטה ⁠– היא לשמה כשרה, שלא לשמה פסולה. פסח נאמר בו ״הוא״ בזביחה ⁠– הוא לשמו כשר, שלא לשמו פסול. אבל אשם, לא נאמר בו ״הוא״⁠ – אלא לאחר הקטרת אימורין, והוא עצמו שלא הוקטרו אימורין ⁠– כשר!

R' Yehoshua said to him: With regard to a sin offering, the word “it” is stated concerning slaughter, teaching that if it is sacrificed for its sake it is fit, but if it is sacrificed not for its sake it is unfit. With regard to a Paschal offering too, the word “it” is stated concerning slaughter, likewise teaching that if it is sacrificed for its sake it is fit, but if it is sacrificed not for its sake it is unfit. But with regard to a guilt offering, the word “it” is stated only after the burning of the sacrificial portions. And since the offering itself is fit even if the sacrificial portions were not burned at all, it is certainly fit if they were burned not for the sake of a guilt offering.
