Halakhah su Levitico 22:22

That He prohibited us from sprinkling the blood of animals with blemishes on top of the altar. And that is His, may He be blessed, saying, "you shall not offer to the Lord" (Leviticus 22:24). And the tradition came [to say] that this negative commandment would be [about the sprinkling of the blood, (although there is another opinion that it is)] from the receiving of the blood. For they said in the [Sifra] (Sifra, Emor, Chapter 7:10), "'You shall not offer to the Lord' - is on account of, 'do not receive the blood.' But in the Gemara, Temurah (Temurah 7a), [they] said, "According to the first teacher, why do I need, 'you shall not offer?' He requires it for sprinkling the blood. But behold, he derives this from, 'upon the altar' (Leviticus 22:22)!'" This means to say from His saying, "and as a fire-offering you shall not place," it indicates that anything that is placed on the altar should not have a blemish. And it answered, "It is the manner of the verse, that it speaks like this." Meaning, that this negative statement - "and as a fire-offering you shall not place of them" - is coming about the burning of the innards. And you should not take it as a proof [about the blood], that He said, "the altar." As the statement could only be made orderly with it - how [else] would He say [it]: "and as a fire-offering you shall not place of them," by itself? Behold it has been explained from everything above that His saying, "you shall not offer to the Lord," is a prohibition for the sprinkling of the blood. (See Parashat Emor; Mishneh Torah, Things Forbidden on the Altar 1.)

That we not sprinkle blood of an [animal] with a blemish on the altar: That we not sprinkle blood of [animals] with a blemish on top of the altar, as it is stated (Leviticus 22:22), "A blind or broken or creviced (charuts) or protrusion (yabelet) or boil-scar (garav) or yalefet; you shall not sacrifice these to the Lord." And the tradition comes about this negative commandment that it is a prevention of sprinkling the blood of [animals] with blemishes. And that is the opinion of the first teacher (tanna kamma) in the Gemara, Temurah 6b, and that is the law. As it says there, "And [for] the first teacher, why do I need this 'you shall not sacrifice to the Lord.' He requires it for sprinkling of the blood." All of the content of this warning (negative commandment) is like the warning of the placing of a blemish upon holy [animals] (Sefer HaChinukh 287) and the sacrifice of an [animal] with a blemish (Sefer HaChinukh 289) and the incineration of the entrails (Sefer HaChinukh 290). However we should not count it with the prohibitions that are practiced today; as due to our iniquities, we do not have an altar.

That we not slaughter an [animal with a blemish] for the sake of a sacrifice: That we not slaughter [animals] with blemishes for the sake of a sacrifice, as it is stated (Leviticus 22:22), "you shall not sacrifice these to the Lord." And the language of Sifra, Emor, Chapter 7:1 is "'You shall not sacrifice' - on account of you shall not slaughter." All of the content of this commandment is explained in the commandment preceding it. However we should not count this prohibition with those that are practiced today; as due to our iniquities, we do not have an altar to slaughter the sacrifices there.

That we not incinerate the entrails of [animals] with blemishes: Not to incinerate the entrails of [animals] with blemishes. I have written the understanding of entrails in the Order of Tsav in the commandment of the procedure of the sin-offering. And about this is it stated (Leviticus 22:22), "a fire-offering you shall not give of them upon the altar." The content of this commandment as well, and the elucidation of the place of its laws is written in the commandment prior to its colleague (Sefer HaChinukh 287). However we should not count this prohibition with those that are practiced today; as due to our iniquities, we do not have an altar upon which to incinerate.
