As we learned on yesterday’s daf the eighth perek of Massekhet Zevaḥim focuses on mixtures, and specifically on animals that are mixed together in the Temple.
One example from the first Mishna that appears on our daf is where animals that have been consecrated by two different people for the same korban are mixed up and we do not know which animal belongs to whom. In this case the Mishna rules that the kohen should sacrifice each animal for one of the owners. Rashi teaches that this means that the kohen should announce “this animal is being brought for its owner” without offering any specifics.
We explore Sanctity in Mixture: and Holiness, Boundaries, and the Theology of Sacred Contamination?
