Text Excerpt

בפנים ⁠– בחוץ; ואת הניתנין בחוץ ⁠– בפנים; שיאכלוהו טמאים; שיקריבוהו טמאים; שיאכלוהו ערלים; ושיקריבוהו ערלים; לשבר עצמות הפסח; לאכול הימנו נא; ולערב דמו בדם הפסולים ⁠– כשר.

inside the Sanctuary outside the Sanctuary, or the blood that is to be placed outside the Sanctuary inside the Sanctuary; and likewise, if he slaughtered the animal with the intent that ritually impure people will partake of it, or that ritually impure people will sacrifice it, or that uncircumcised people will partake of it, or that uncircumcised people will sacrifice it; and likewise, with regard to the Paschal offering, if he had intent during the slaughter to break the bones of the Paschal offering, or to eat from the meat of the Paschal offering partially roasted, or to mix the blood of an offering with the blood of unfit offerings, in all these cases, although he intended to perform one of these prohibited acts, some of which would render the offering unfit, the offering is fit.

שאין מחשבה פוסלת אלא בחוץ לזמנו וחוץ למקומו, והפסח והחטאת שלא לשמן.

The reason is that intent does not render the offering unfit except in cases of intent to eat or to burn the offering beyond its designated time and outside its designated area, and in addition, the Paschal offering and the sin offering are disqualified by intent to sacrifice them not for their sake.

גמ׳ מאי טעמא דרבי יהודה? אמר רבי אלעזר: תרי קראי כתיבי בנותר; כתוב אחד אומר: ״לא תותירו ממנו עד בקר״, וכתוב אחד אומר: ״לא יניח ממנו עד בקר״; אם אינו ענין להניח, תנהו לענין מחשבת הינוח.

Talmud: The Talmud asks: What is the reasoning of R' Yehuda, who deems the offering unfit if there was intent to leave it over until the next day or to take it out of its designated area? R' Elazar said: There are two verses that are written with regard to notar. One verse states: “You should let nothing of it remain until the morning, and that which remains of it until the morning you should burn with fire” (Exodus 12:10), and one verse states: “He should not leave any of it until the morning” (Leviticus 7:15). If the additional verse is not necessary for the matter of the prohibition against leaving it overnight, which is already mentioned by the first verse, apply it to the matter of intent of leaving it overnight, which would therefore be prohibited as well.
