ציטירנדיקער פּירוש אויף ויקרא 5:9

חטאת העוף נעשית למטה – from the red line [encircling the Temple altar at precisely half its height], as it is written (Leviticus 5:9): “He shall sprinkle some of the blood of the purification (i.e., sin-offering) on the side of the altar, and what remains of the blood shall be drained out at the base of the altar,” the wall that its remainder is poured out toward the bottom of the altar (see Talmud Zevakhim 64b), and this is the lower wall below the red line, for the upper wall, that is from the [red] line and above, sometimes, it is poured out to the surrounding ledge (which was five cubits above the altar’s base, six cubits from the ground; it was one cubit wide on all sides, surrounding the altar. The priests would walk on this ledge while performing certain sacrificial functions), such as that he performed it above the surrounding ledge, that the [red] line is a cubit below the surrounding ledge.

an die Wand. und zwar an die Südwest-Ecke, s. oben Note 11. Der Priester stand dabei unten auf dem Boden, da das Blut an die untere Hälfte des Altars unterhalb des roten Streifens gesprengt werden musste. Dieses wird aus dem Gebrauch der passiven Form ימצה in der Vorschrift: והנשאר בדם ימצה אל יסוד המזבח (Lev. 5, 9) geschlossen, wo das passive ימצה sich auch auf das gesprengte Blut beziehen und andeuten soll, dass dieses so gesprengt werden sollte, dass es von selbst ebenfalls direkt an den Grund herabfloss. Dieses war aber nur der Fall, wenn es an den unteren Teil des Altars gesprengt wurde; würde man es an den oberen Teil gesprengt haben, so würde das herabfliessende Blut oft zunächst nicht an den Grund, sondern an den oberen Absatz, den Rundgang (סובב), geflossen sein, denn eine Elle über dem roten Streifen war der Rundgang, der obere Teil erhob sich also zum weitaus grösseren Teile über dem Rundgang.

The [rites of] laying hands, waving, presenting [the meal-offering], taking the handful, burning [the fat], cutting [the neck of bird sacrifices], sprinkling and receiving [the blood] are performed by men but not by women, except the meal-offering of a sotah and a female nazirite, where they [themselves] wave the offering. The [rites of] laying hands: Most animal sacrifices require the person offering the sacrifice lay his hands upon the animal before the animal is slaughtered (see for instance Lev. 1:4). Only men lay their hands upon the sacrifice. When women bring the sacrifice, no one lays their hands. Waving: After the animal is slaughtered parts of it are waved jointly by the priest and by the male owner of the sacrifice (see Lev. 7:30). If a woman brought the sacrifice the priest waves it by himself. Presenting [the meal-offering]: When a person brings a meal-offering (a minhah), they present it to the priest. The priest then takes it and presents it to the altar (Lev. 6:7). Only male priests present the minhah daughters of priests do not. Taking the handful: With a minhah offering, the priest takes a handful of the offering (Lev. 2:2). Again, only male priests perform this rite. Burning [the fat]: See Lev 3:5. Cutting [the neck of bird sacrifices]: See Lev 1:15. Sprinkling and receiving [the blood]: See Lev 5:9. Except the meal-offering of a Sotah and a female nazirite, where they [themselves] wave the offering: The Sotah waves a minhah offering and the nazirite waves the leg of the animal she/he brings, a bread-offering and a wafer (see Sotah 3:1 and Nazir 6:9). In each case the woman and the priest would jointly wave the offering.
