Commentary for Zevachim 73:1

מנין לכל הדמים שטעונים מתן דם ליסוד ת"ל ודם זבחיך ישפך נפקא ליה מדרבי דתניא רבי אומר (ויקרא ה, ט) והנשאר בדם ימצה שאין ת"ל בדם ומה ת"ל בדם

Whence do we know that all blood must be poured out at the base [of the altar]? From the text, And the blood of thy sacrifices shall be poured out against the altar! - He deduces that from Rabbi's [inference]. For it was taught: Rabbi said: [Scripture writes,] And the rest of the blood shall be drained out [at the base of the altar]. Now, 'of the blood' need not be stated; why then is it stated? Because we have learnt only that that blood which requires four applications must be poured out at the base; whence do we know it of other blood? From the text, 'And the rest of the blood shall be drained out [at the base of the altar]'. <br>
