The consecrated [offerings] of non-Jews — one is not liable for them for piggul, nossar, or tamei; and one who slaughters them outside [the Temple] is not liable; [these are] the words of R’ Meir. R’ Yose declares him liable. Things for which one is not liable for piggul, one is [still] liable for them for nossar, [and] for tamei; except for the blood. R’ Shimon says: For things which are usually eaten; but [for] the likes of wood, frankincense, and incense, one is not liable for them for tumah.

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.

4. The olah offering [is a] most holy offering — its slaughter is in the north, and the reception of its blood is in the north; its blood requires two applications that are [the equivalent of] four; it requires skinning and dismembering, and is consigned in its entirety to the fires.

5. The communal shelamim offerings and asham offerings — these are the asham-offerings: the theft asham, the me’ilah asham, the betrothed-maidservant asham, the nazir’s asham, the metzora’s asham, [and] the asham in case of doubt. Their slaughter is in the north, and the reception of their blood in a sacred vessel is in the north; their blood requires two applications that are [the equivalent of] four; and they are eaten within the [Courtyard’s] curtains, by male Kohanim, prepared in any manner, for a day and a night until midnight.

The todah-offering and the nazir’s ram [are] offerings of lesser holiness — their slaughter may be anywhere in the Courtyard, and their blood requires two applications that are [the equivalent of] four; and they may be eaten throughout the city [of Jerusalem], by anyone, prepared in any manner, for a day and a night, until midnight. The portions separated from them are similar to them, except that the separated portions may be eaten [only] by the Kohanim, their wives, children, and slaves.

The shelamim-offerings [are] offerings of lesser holiness — their slaughter may be anywhere in the Courtyard, and their blood requires two applications that are [the equivalent of] four; and they may be eaten throughout the city, by anyone, prepared in any manner, for two days and one night. The portions separated from them are similar to them, except that the separated portions may be eaten only by the Kohanim, their wives, children, and slaves.

The bechor-offering, the maaser-offering, and the pesach-offering [are] offerings of lesser holiness — their slaughter may be anywhere in the Courtyard, and their blood requires one application, but he must apply it opposite the base. They differ in [the manner of] their consumption: The bechor-offering is eaten [only] by Kohanim, and the maaser-offering by anyone; and they may be eaten throughout the city, [by anyone,] prepared in any manner, for two days and one night. The pesach-offering may be eaten only by night, it may be eaten only until midnight, it may be eaten only by those registered for it, and it may be eaten only roasted.
