Core Text — Zevachim 3a

״וְקִרְבּוֹ וּפִרְשׁוֹ״ — וּסְמִיךְ לֵיהּ ״וְהוֹצִיא״, מְלַמֵּד שֶׁמּוֹצִיאוֹ שָׁלֵם.

English: “And its innards and its dung” — and next to it “and he shall take out,” teaching that he takes it out whole.

In the sugya: The juxtaposition of the list of parts with the verb “ve-hotzi” teaches that the bull leaves the Sanctuary still intact, before any further cutting that would separate the listed items.

Type of Learning

Taken out whole — the bull is removed intact from the Sanctuary before being burned outside.

What Is Learned

The chatas bull is carried out of the Azarah as a single, whole body. The verse’s adjacency of “its innards and its dung” to “and he shall take out” supplies the rule that no preliminary dissection may occur inside the camp. Only after the intact animal has left is the burning performed.
