Text Excerpt
חייב. רבי אלעזר אומר: אף המנסך מי החג בחג בחוץ – חייב. רבי נחמיה אומר: שירי הדם (שהקריבו) [שהקריבן] בחוץ – חייב.
is liable. R' Elazar says: So too, one who pours as a libation water consecrated for the libation of the festival of Sukkot, during the Festival, outside the courtyard, is liable. R' Neḥemya says: For the remainder of the blood of an offering that was supposed to be poured at the base of the altar and that instead one sacrificed outside the courtyard, one is liable.
גמ׳ אמר רבא: ומודה רבי אלעזר בדמים.
Talmud: Rava says: R' Elazar generally holds that one is liable for sacrificing outside only when he sacrifices a complete offering, but R' Elazar concedes with regard to the sprinkling of the blood of an offering, that one is liable for sprinkling outside even part of the blood, e.g., one sprinkling instead of 4. This is clearly the halakha with regard to offerings whose blood is sprinkled on the external altar, as a single sprinkling renders such an offering valid (see 36b), and it can be regarded as a complete offering. R' Elazar concedes that this is the halakha even with regard to offerings whose blood is sprinkled on the inner altar, despite the fact that such offerings are valid only once all the sprinklings have been completed.
דתניא, רבי אלעזר ורבי שמעון אומרים: ממקום שפסק הוא מתחיל.
The fact that R' Elazar concedes this point is apparent from that which is taught in a Mishnah (Yoma 60a) with regard to the numerous sprinklings of blood performed in the Holy of Holies, upon the Curtain, and on the inner altar, as part of the Yom Kippur Temple service: If during the sprinklings the blood spills and it is necessary to bring the blood of a second animal in order to complete them, R' Elazar and R' Shimon say: From the place that the High Priest stopped sprinkling the blood of the first animal, there he begins to sprinkle the blood of the second animal; it is unnecessary to repeat any of the sprinklings that have already been performed. From this ruling it is apparent that each sprinkling is considered an independent and complete act of service, and one will be liable for even a single act of sprinkling done outside the Temple.
