Topic

רבי יהודה's views on invalid slaughter and overnight blood, intent and impurity with food not fit to eat, and the new משנה on how many blood placements bring כפרה.

Overview

The גמרא first asks how רבי יהודה could give lashes for an invalid slaughter, since a ברייתא quotes him saying a חטאת slaughtered in the south brings no lashes. It answers that two תנאים report his view differently. רבי אבא then says that a plan to leave the blood overnight does not stop a later פיגול. רבא offers a proof, but the proof is rejected, and רב הונא refutes רבי אבא from a ברייתא. Two more rulings follow, each with a proof from רבא that the גמרא rejects. The first ruling is about a plan for impure people to eat the meat tomorrow. The second is about liability for eating unroasted פסח meat or unseparated תודה loaves while impure. The perek כל הפסולין then ends. A new משנה teaches how many blood placements are needed for כפרה on the outer and inner altars. The גמרא starts looking for the פסוק behind this rule, and that discussion continues on the next amud.
