Ils transportaient les [taureaux et chèvres] sur des poteaux. Une fois que les premiers [les hommes de devant] ont franchi les murs de la cour et que les arrière n'ont pas [encore] passé [les murs de la cour], les vêtements des premiers deviennent impurs, mais les vêtements des arrière ne devenez pas impurs tant qu'ils ne sont pas partis. Une fois que les deux ensembles sont partis, les vêtements des deux ensembles deviennent impurs. Rabbi Shimon dit: Leurs vêtements ne deviennent impurs qu'une fois que le feu a brûlé la plupart de la chair [des offrandes]. [Une fois] la chair est carbonisée, les vêtements de quelqu'un [d'autre] qui brûle [la chair] ne deviennent pas impurs.

Bartenura on Mishnah Zevachim
ניתך הבשר – when their burning came a conclusion, the one who assist/accompany them does not again return from defiling clothing, but before this, all those who assist/accompany at the time of the burning, defile their clothing, as it is written (Leviticus 16:28): “He who burned them shall wash his clothes, [and bathe his body in water; after that he may re-enter the camp],” at the time of the burning. The one who assists/accompanies after they became ashes defiles his clothing, the inference teaches us: "אותם"/them - those defile their clothing, when they became ashes, he does not defile his clothing. But the bulls that are burned and the goats that are burned themselves do not defile people or the clothing that touch them, but the person engaged with their burning is ritually impure from the decree of the Biblical verse. According to the Rabbis, once those who carry them on poles have gone out, and according to the words of Rabbi Shimon, when fire goes out on most of them (see Talmud Zevakhim 106a). But the Halakha is not according to Rabbi Shimon.

English Explanation of Mishnah Zevachim
If those in front had passed outside the wall of the Temple courtyard, but those in the back had not [yet] gone out, those in front defile their garments, while those in the back do not defile their garments, until they go out. When they both go out, both defile their garments. Rabbi Shimon says: neither defile [their garments] until the fire is burning in the greater part of them. The Torah (Leviticus 16:28) states that the one who burns these sacrifices shall wash his clothes. The debate in this section is when does someone become “one who burns.” According to the first opinion, the one who deals with these sacrifices defiles clothes once they have left the walls of the Temple courtyard. If some of those carrying the carcasses have left and some have not, then only those who have left the walls defile clothes. Once they have all left, they all defile. According to this interpretation “one who burns” is one who has left the Temple in order to burn one of these sacrifices. Rabbi Shimon holds that only once the fire has begun to consume a majority of the carcass of the bullock or goat does the one who burned it defile clothing. He interprets “one who burns” in a much more limiting fashion to defile one must actually begin the burning process.

English Explanation of Mishnah Zevachim
When the flesh is dissolved, he who burns [it] does not defile his garments. Burning is over once the flesh has been dissolved. One who deals with the burning after this point does not defile clothes.
