The Gemora notes: Our Tanna (who maintains that the blood of the pesach and ma’aser offerings were thrown on the altar – like the bechor, and not poured) in accordance with Rabbi Yosi HaGelili, for Rabbi Yosi HaGelili said: It does not say, “its blood,” but rather, “their blood” is said; and “its fat” is not said, but rather, “their fat” is said.
This teaches us that bechor, ma’aser and the pesach offering require blood application and its sacrificial parts are burned on the Altar.
In rabbinic memory, Rabbi Yosei HaGelili symbolizes the union of wisdom and humility. The sages rose before him and called him "master of Torah," yet he remained personally modest. His interpretations were brilliant yet accessible, sophisticated yet practical.
