Jerusalem Talmud Kiddushin
Rebbi Eleazar said, sisters are not preliminarily married but in the case of purification sacrifices it atoned159If a person simultaneously slaughters two purification sacrifices for one transgression, he has fulfilled his obligation. (Mishnah Me‘ilah 1:2 describes this situation: A person dedicated an animal as purification sacrifice. Then this animal was lost, another was dedicated as replacement, and then the first one was found before the second was sacrificed. Each of the animals becomes the replacement of the other.) This statement is nontrivial since as a general rule an animal dedicated as purification sacrifice but whose owner then used another animal for the same purpose can no longer be used for anything.. How is that? If one slaughtered two purification offerings for one transgression160Simultaneously., the altar selects that which is appropriate161Expression of Mishnah Zebaḥim9:1. Since both sacrifices have equal standing, there is no reason to prefer one to the other. Only selected parts of the purification offering are given to the altar; the remainder of the meat has to be eaten by the priest (Lev. 6:17–23).; both are forbidden to be eaten162The priests are commanded to eat the meat of the animal which effects the purification. But in this case it is impossible to determine which animal effects the purification.. If one slaughtered two reparation offerings for one damage, the altar selects that which is appropriate; both are forbidden to be eaten163The rules of reparation sacrifices follow those of purification sacrifices; Lev. 7:7.. Rebbi Ze‘ira in the name of Rebbi Joḥanan: If the first164This deals with a separate case, that the animals were slaughtered one after the other. one was slaughtered not for its purpose but the second for its purpose, it did atone since the first, which was not for its purpose, becomes acceptable only through the purpose stated later165Mishnah Zebaḥim 1:1 states that both purification and Passover sacrifices which were slaughtered not for their stated purpose are invalid and cannot be offered to the altar. Normally, a purification offering which is invalidated at the time of slaughter is burned outside the Temple precinct and another sacrifice is required independent of the first. But if the second sacrifice is slaughtered correctly immediately after the first, when its flesh is still in the Temple precinct, then the correct slaughter of the second rehabilitates the first, both sacrifices have their selected parts offered on the altar, and both are forbidden as food to the priests.. But if the first was slaughtered for its purpose but the second not for its purpose: if the first atoned for what may the second atone? For impurity which occured between the first and the second166This answer makes more sense in Šebuot 1:4 (33b 1.4) where the relative merit of the purification sacrifices on New Year’s day are discussed, one required for the New Moon and one for the holiday. If one sacrifice purifies, what is the use of the second? To atone for impurities which might have occurred in the meantime. In the case discussed here, the second sacrifice is invalid and useless.. But for Passover sacrifices it did not atone167The Passover sacrifice does not atone. He holds that people who bring a Passover sacrifice which cannot be eaten did not fulfill their duty, Mishnah Pesaḥim7:4. since the Passover sacrifice is only for the meat to be eaten. This does not follow Rebbi Nathan since Rebbi Nathan said, one fulfills one’s duty by sprinkling [the blood] without eating168Pesahim 7:5 (34b 1. 45), Babli 78b..
