A new Mishnah states If the blood of unblemished offerings was mixed with the blood of blemished animals unfit for sacrifice, the entire mixture shall be poured into the Temple courtyard drain. This is the halakha when the fit and unfit blood were mixed in one vessel.

We explore The halakhic principles governing mixtures of sacrificial blood with water, integrate sugyot from Zevachim 78–80, Para 9, Chullin 22, and related Rishonim. The focus is on the conceptual pillars: appearance (mar’eh dam), mixing (yesh bilah vs. ein bilah), minimum measure, and the prohibition of adding or diminishing during the sacrificial rite.

As well as the notion of sensory epistemology in Halacha with the work of Moshe Halevi Spero.
