Commentary for Zevachim 163:4

מתקיף לה רב הונא בריה דרב יהושע מכדי איתרבו כל קדשים לגבי מזבח לענין מריקה ושטיפה; חטאת דכתב רחמנא למה לי ש"מ חטאת אין מידי אחרינא לא

Now, does R. Jose the Galilean hold that this text comes for this purpose? Surely it was taught, R. Jose the Galilean said: The whole passage speaks only of the bullocks which were to be burnt and the he-goats which were to be burnt, and its purpose is [i] to teach that when they are disqualified they must be burnt before the Temple; and [ii] to impose a negative injunction against eating them. Said they to him: As to an [outer] sin-offering whose blood entered the innermost [sanctuary], whence do we know [that it is disqualified]? Said he to them: [From the verse,] Behold, the blood of it was not brought into the sanctuary within? - He argues on R. Akiba's contention. <br>
