Commentary for Zevachim 161:4

רבי יהודה אליבא דר"א מתני בין בבלול בין בכוסות ורבנן בכוסות פליגי

R. Huna b. Judah raised an objection: They are holy: [this teaches] that if it [the blood of a firstling] was mixed with the blood of other sacrifices, it must be offered [sprinkled]. Surely it speaks of the end of a burnt-offering and [the beginning of] a firstling; and this proves that the place of the burnt-offering is the place of the residue? - No: it speaks of the beginning of the burnt-offering and that of the firstling. What then does it inform us? that sacrifices do not nullify one another! [Surely] that is deduced from [the text]. And he shall take of the blood of the bullock and of the blood of the goat? - It is a controversy of Tannaim: one deduces it from this text, and another deduces it from the other text.
