A sacrifice is slaughtered for the sake of six things: for the designation of the sacrifice, for the name of [the] offerer, for the Name of Hashem, for the sake of the fires, for the sake of aroma, for the sake of pleasing; and the chatas- and asham-offerings for the purpose of [the] sin. Said R’ Yose: Even if one did not have any of these [purposes] in mind it is valid, for it is an enactment of the Court, because the intent is determined solely by the one who performs the service.

What is the [proper] place for the sacrifices? The most holy offerings are slaughtered in the north. The bull and he-goat of Yom Kippur — [have] their slaughter [performed] in the north, and the reception of their blood in a sacred vessel in the north; and their blood requires sprinkling between the poles, and toward the Curtain, and on the Golden Altar. [The omission of even] one of these applications prevents [atonement]. The remainder of the blood he would pour on the western base of the outer Altar; [but] if he did not apply [it], it does not prevent [atonement].

The bulls that are burned, and the hegoats that are burned — [have] their slaughter in the north, and the reception of their blood in a sacred vessel in the north; and their blood requires sprinkling toward the Curtain, and on the Golden Altar. [The omission of even] one of these applications prevents [atonement]. The remainder of the blood he would pour on the western base of the outer Altar; [but] if he did not apply [it], it does not prevent [atonement]. These and those are burned in the place of the ashes.

The communal and personal chatas offerings — these are the communal chatas-offerings: the he-goats of Rosh Chodesh and the festivals — [these have] their slaughter in the north, and the reception of their blood in the north; and their blood requires four applications on the four horns [of the Altar]. How so? He ascended the ramp, turned to the surrounding ledge, arrived at the southeast corner, [then the] northeast [corner, the] northwest [corner, and the] southwest [corner]. The remainder of the blood he would pour upon the southern base. They are eaten within the [Courtyard’s] curtains, by male Kohanim, prepared in any manner, for a day and night until midnight.
