Core Text — Zevachim 40b

״יִשְׁפֹּךְ" — לְרַבּוֹת שִׁפּוּךְ הַשְּׁיָרִים.

English: “He shall pour out” — to include the pouring of the remainders.

In the sugya: The residual blood after the applications on the horns is poured out at the base of the outer altar.

Type of Learning

Pouring of the remainders — after the blood applications on the horns, the remaining blood is poured at the base of the outer altar.

What Is Learned

After the blood applications on the horns, the remaining blood is poured at the base of the outer altar. The verse’s “he shall pour out” is understood to require the disposal of the residual blood at the designated foundation of the olah altar. This completes the blood service of the High Priest’s chatas by ensuring that no blood is left unused or improperly discarded.
