[If] one cooked in it sacred and non sacred [meat], or [the meat of] most holy offerings and [of] offerings of lesser holiness — if there is enough of them to impart flavor, the less stringent ones must be eaten in the manner of the more stringent ones; and they do not require purging and rinsing, nor do they disqualify by contact. [If] a wafer comes in contact with [another] wafer, or a slice [of meat] with [another] slice — neither the entire wafer nor the entire slice is forbidden; only the place which has absorbed is [rendered] forbidden.

A tevul yom and one who lacks atonement do not [claim a] share in the offerings to eat that night. An onein may touch, but he may not offer; and he does not [claim a] share to eat that night. [Kohanim] who are blemished — both those with permanent blemishes and those with [only] passing blemishes — [claim a] share and eat, but they may not offer. Whoever is not fit to [perform] the service does not share in the [offering] meat; and whoever has no [share] of the meat has no [share] of the hides. Even one who was tamei at the time that the blood was thrown and tahor at the time the fats were burnt does not [claim a] share in the meat; as it is said (Lev. 7:33): The one from among the sons of Aaron who offers the blood of the shelamim offering and the fat — the right thigh shall be his as a gift portion.

Whenever the Altar does not acquire the right to the meat, the Kohanim do not acquire the right to the hide; as it is said (Lev. 7:8): [The Kohen who offers] a person’s olah offering — an olah which has been credited to a person. An olah-offering which was slaughtered for a designation other than its own, even though it is not credited to its owner, its hide [belongs] to the Kohanim. Both the olah-offering of a man and the olah offering of a woman — their hides [belong] to the Kohanim.

The hides of the offerings of lesser holiness [belong] to the owners [of the offering], while the hides of the most holy offerings [belong] to the Kohanim. [This can be demonstrated by means of] a kal vachomer — if [in the case of] an olah offering, [in] which they do not acquire the right to its meat, [yet] they acquire a right to its hide; [then in the case of] the most holy offerings, [in] which they do acquire the right to its meat, does it not follow that they acquire the right to its hide! The Altar cannot serve as a refutation, since it does not receive the hide at all.
