[If] it spattered from the neck [of the offering] onto the cloth, it does not require washing; from the horn [of the Altar] or from the base [of the Altar], it does not require washing. [If] it spilled onto the floor and he gathered it up, it does not require washing; washing is not required except for blood which was received in a vessel and was fit for sprinkling. [If] it spattered on a hide — if [this happened] before it had been flayed, it does not require washing; [but] if after it had been flayed, it requires washing; [these are] the words of R’ Yehudah. R’ Eliezer says: Even after it has been flayed it does not require washing. Washing is required only for the place of the blood, and [for] a thing which is fit to be susceptible to tumah-contamination, and which is fit for washing.

Cloth, sackcloth, and hide all require washing in a holy place; and the breaking of the earthenware vessel [must take place] in a holy place; and the purging and rinsing of a copper vessel [must take place] in a holy place. This is the stringency of the chatas offering over [other] most holy offerings.
