Talmud for Zevachim 2:3

זֶה הַכְּלָל, כָּל הַשּׁוֹחֵט וְהַמְקַבֵּל וְהַמְהַלֵּךְ וְהַזּוֹרֵק, לֶאֱכֹל דָּבָר שֶׁדַּרְכּוֹ לֶאֱכֹל, לְהַקְטִיר דָּבָר שֶׁדַּרְכּוֹ לְהַקְטִיר, חוּץ לִמְקוֹמוֹ, פָּסוּל וְאֵין בּוֹ כָרֵת. חוּץ לִזְמַנּוֹ, פִּגּוּל וְחַיָּבִין עָלָיו כָּרֵת, וּבִלְבַד שֶׁיִּקְרַב הַמַּתִּיר כְּמִצְוָתוֹ:

This is the general rule: [If] anyone slaughters [the offering], or collects [its blood], or carries [the blood to the altar], or sprinkles ashes [the blood on the altar with the intention] of eating something that is usually eaten, [or with the intention] of burning something that is usually burned, outside its [proper] place - it [the offering] is invalid but it does not warrant <i>Karet</i>. [If the offering is made with the intention of acting] after its time, it is <i>Piggul</i> and it does warrant <i>Karet</i>. This is only if he properly offered that which enables an offering to fulfill its purpose [the blood].
