Commentary for Zevachim 93:1

מנין למתעסק בקדשים שהוא פסול שנאמר (ויקרא א, ה) ושחט את בן הבקר לפני ה' עד שתהא שחיטה לשם בן בקר

<br> How do we know that when one is unaware engaged in sacrifices, it [the sacrifice] is invalid? Because it says, And he shall kill the bullock before the Lord, [which intimates] that the killing must be for the sake of the bullock. We know this, said he to him, [but] how do we know that [awareness] is indispensable? Ye shall slaughter it with your will, said he, [which teaches,] slaughter it with your knowledge. <br>
