Core Text — Zevachim 3a
אֵין מַפְשִׁיטִין.

English: One does not flay.

In the sugya: Unlike an olah, the chatas bull whose flesh is burned outside the camp is not skinned; the hide remains with the rest of the animal that is taken out for burning.

Type of Learning

No flaying — the hide of this chatas bull is not removed.

What Is Learned

The High Priest’s chatas bull is not flayed. The hide travels with the flesh, head, legs, innards and dung when the entire animal is carried outside the camp. The prohibition of flaying distinguishes this offering from the olah, whose hide is given to the kohanim.
