Core Text — Zevachim 8a
״וְכִפֶּר עָלָיו הַכֹּהֵן מֵחַטָּאתוֹ״ — שֶׁתְּהֵא כַּפָּרָה לְשֵׁם חַטָּאת, מִכָּאן דְּבָעֵינַן זְרִיקָה לְשְׁמָהּ.

English: “And the kohen shall atone for him from his chatas” — that the kapparah be for the sake of a chatas; from here we require zerikah lishmah.

In the sugya: The phrase “from his chatas” attached to the atonement is taken to require that the blood application itself be performed with chatas intent.

Type of Learning

Zerikah must be for the sake of chatas — blood application of the nasi’s offering must be done with chatas intent.

What Is Learned

The zerikah (or netinat dam) of the nasi’s chatas must be performed with the specific intent that it is a chatas. Application done with intent for a different offering-type fails the requirement derived from “me-chatato.”
