Talmud do Zewachim 3:7

If he removed with his left hand, the disagreement between Rebbi Joḥanan and Jehudah ben Rebbi, since Rebbi Joḥanan said, if a fistful³²Of the flour offering. had been sanctified in a dedicated vessel and he burned it whether out of his hand or out of a vessel, whether by his right hand or by the left. Jehudah ben Rebbi said, either like a purification offering from the hand, or like a reparation offering from a vessel, but only with the right hand³³In Lev. 6:10 it is stated that the flour offering is “most holy, like purification offering and like reparation offering.” For purification offerings it is stated (Lev.4:25, 30, 34) that the Cohen has to apply the blood of the sacrifice with his finger to the corners of the altar. This requirement is missing for the reparation sacrifice (Lev.7:1–7.). They objected: Was it not stated, if he received with his right hand and then put it into his left hand, he must return it to the right hand³⁴Mishnah Zevaḥim 3:1, Zevaḥim 32a, speaking of the blood received in a vessel and brought to the altar to be poured at the wall.? If from the left hand he returns it for the altar, not so much more to the cup? Rebbi La said, if somebody stated this, Rebbi Eleazar ben Rebbi Simeon stated it. As it was stated, it³⁵The fistful taken from a flour offering. does not need sanctification in a cup. Rebbi Eleazar ben Rebbi Simeon follows the argument of his father Rebbi Simeon, as we have stated there³⁶Mishnah Menaḥot3:4., “not in a dedicated vessel it is disqualified, but Rebbi Simeon qualifies it.” How is it? The rabbis who require a dedicated vessel need the right hand³⁷Menaḥot26b.; Rebbi Simeon [who] does not require a dedicated vessel does not need the right hand. Rebbi Mana said, I am wondering how the rabbis could compare the removal of ashes to burning, but it can be compared only to the lifting of the fistful, since both are by lifting³⁸Since everybody agrees that at all places where the verse requires that the action be done by a Cohen he must use his right hand; therefor the lifting of the fistful must be with the Cohen’s right hand..

What is the status of motion by an Non-Cohen⁴³This question cannot be about the Day of Atonement, where not even an ordinary Cohen may perform one of the duties of the High Priest, but of the regular service in the Temple, except those where the verse explicitly prescribes that a Cohen has to move the object; cf. Lev. 1:15.? Ḥizqiah said, motion by a Non-Cohen is qualified. Rebbi Yannai said, motion by a Non-Cohen is disqualified. A Mishnah disagrees with Rebbi Yannai⁴⁴Mishnah Zevaḥim 3:2. As a rule, sacral acts by the priests have to be performed with their right hands. Therefore the blood of a sacrifice has to be collected by the Cohen in a sacred vessel held in his right hand; if later he temporarily switches the vessel to his left hand he may return it to his right hand and it remains qualified.: “If he received with his right hand and put it in his left hand, he shall return it to his right hand.” Is his left hand not like a Non-Cohen? Explain it if his left hand was towards the inside⁴⁵If he returns the vessel to the right hand he increases its distance from the altar; this is not part of the transport of the blood to the altar.. Rebbi Abba said, even if you are saying, towards the outside, there is a difference between motion by a Non-Cohen and one which is automatic. Rebbi Zeˋira said, they did not consider a movement of his hand as motion. A Mishnah disagrees with Rebbi Yannai:⁴⁶Mishnah Zevaḥim 3:2. “If from the vessel something was spilled on the floor and he collected it, it is qualified.” Rebbi Bevai said, explain it if it was rolling towards the inside. Rebbi Abba said, even if you are saying towards the outside, there is a difference between motion by a Non-Cohen and one which is automatic. Rebbi Zeˋira said, they did consider a movement of his hand as motion. The Mishnah disagrees with Rebbi Yannai: “He took the fire-pan²With the hot coals, which he had deposited on the uppermost step at the entrance to the Temple. into his right hand and the cup in his left.” There is a difference because he cannot do it otherwise. Should he hang it on his arm? It is not respectful. May he switch? They wanted to say⁴⁷The unanimous opinion of the members of the Academy although there is no tannaitic statement to guide the decision., if he switched it was disqualified. Should he lower it⁴⁸Put the vessel in his left hand under the right hand to support the right hand.? If he lowered it from his right hand to his left hand it is qualified. Could we say that also there⁴⁹Can one say in the case from Zevaḥim that the vessel could remain in his left hand if it is held on his right hand side below his right hand?, let him lower it? There if he lowered it it is disqualified. [If he switched it is disqualified.]⁵⁰Addition by the corrector; correct but not absolutely necessary. But here if he lowered it it is qualified; if he switched it is disqualified⁵¹If the fire pan is in his left hand and the cup with the dry incense powder in his right hand..
