Core Text — Zevachim 26a
קִבֵּל בִּכְלִי חֹל — פָּסוּל, שֶׁנֶּאֱמַר ״וְלָקַח" — בִּכְלִי שָׁרֵת.

English: If he received in a non-sacred vessel — it is invalid, as it is said “and he shall take” — in a sacred vessel.

In the sugya: The reception of the blood must occur in a kli sharet; a non-sacred vessel disqualifies the blood.

Type of Learning

Kli sharet requirement — reception of the blood must be in a sacred vessel; a non-sacred vessel renders the blood invalid.

What Is Learned

Reception of the blood must be in a sacred vessel; a non-sacred vessel renders the blood invalid. The act of taking the blood is valid only when performed with a kli sharet. Use of a ordinary vessel fails the requirement and disqualifies the blood for the subsequent avodah of the High Priest’s chatas.
