Core Text — Zevachim 8a

״מִדַּם הַחַטָּאת״ — מִכָּאן דְּבָעֵינַן קַבָּלָה לְשֵׁם חַטָּאת.

English: “From the blood of the chatas” — from here we require that kabbalah be for the sake of a chatas.

In the sugya: The phrase “from the blood of the chatas” is understood to require that the act of receiving the blood itself be performed with chatas intent.

Type of Learning

Kabbalah lishmah for chatas — the blood must be received with intent that it is chatas blood.

What Is Learned

When the kohen receives the blood of the nasi’s goat, he must intend that he is receiving it as chatas blood. Kabbalah performed with intent for a different offering-type does not fulfill the requirement derived from this verse.
