Core Text — Zevachim 4a
״וְהִקְרִיבוּ״ — זוֹ קַבָּלַת הַדָּם; וְאַפְּקֵיהּ רַחֲמָנָא בִּלְשׁוֹן הוֹלָכָה.

English: “And they shall bring near” — this is receiving the blood; the Torah expressed it in the language of carrying/bringing.

In the sugya: Hikrivu is not a vague “offer up.” It is identified as kabbalah of the blood, expressed in the language of holachah (bringing/carrying). That fixes the next stage after shechitah as a defined avodah.

Type of Learning

Halakhic definition of hikrivu — kabbalah of the blood.

What Is Learned

Hikrivu in this verse refers to kabbalah of the blood (and related walking of the blood), not a vague “offering up.” The Torah’s verb is the name of that avodah stage.
