[If] one brings an asham talui, and then discovers that he has not sinned: If it has not yet been slaughtered, it may go forth and graze with the flock; [these are] the words of R’ Meir. The Sages [however] say: It must graze until it develops a blemish; then it is sold and the proceeds deposited for a voluntary offering. R’ Eliezer says: It is sacrificed, for, if it is not brought for this sin, it may be brought for another sin. If, after it is slaughtered, it becomes known to him, the blood must be spilled, and the meat must be removed to the place of burning. [If] the blood had [already] been thrown, the meat may be eaten. R’ Yose says: Even if the blood is [still] in a vessel, it may be thrown, and the meat may be eaten.
