Halakhah for Zevachim 112:13

כנגד היסוד מנא לן א"ר אליעזר אתיא זריקה זריקה מעולה

THEY ARE SLAUGHTERED IN ANY PART OF THE TEMPLE COURT, AND THEIR BLOOD REQUIRES ONE SPRINKLING, PROVIDED THAT IT IS APPLIED OVER AGAINST THE BASE.<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' On a part of the altar which has a base under it. This excludes the east and south (v. supra 53b) .');"><sup>13</sup></span> THEY DIFFERED IN THEIR CONSUMPTION [AS FOLLOWS]: THE FIRSTLING WAS EATEN BY PRIESTS [ONLY], WHILE THE TITHE MIGHT BE EATEN BY ANY MAN. AND THEY WERE EATEN IN ANY PART OF THE CITY, PREPARED IN ANY MANNER, DURING TWO DAYS AND ONE NIGHT. THE PASSOVER-OFFERING MIGHT BE EATEN ONLY AT NIGHT, ONLY UNTIL MIDNIGHT, AND IT MIGHT BE EATEN ONLY BY THOSE REGISTERED FOR IT,<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' By people who had previously registered themselves for that particular animal.');"><sup>14</sup></span> AND IT MIGHT BE EATEN ONLY ROASTED. <big><b>GEMARA: </b></big>Which Tanna [rules thus]?<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' The Mishnah enumerates the differences in their mode of consumption only.

Sefer HaChinukh

The commandment of the tithe of pure beasts every year: To tithe all the pure beasts - which are cattle, sheep and goats (Bekhorot 53a) - that are born in our flocks each and every year, and to take that tithe and eat it in Jerusalem after the fat and blood have been offered on the altar (Zevchim 56b), as it is written (Leviticus 27:32), "And all the tithe of your cattle and sheep, all that passes beneath the rod, the tenth shall be holy to the Lord." And they, may their memory be blessed, said in Bekhorot 58b, "How do we tithe? He brings them to a pen and makes for them a small opening, so that two cannot go out at the same time. He places their mothers outside, and they would moan, so that the lambs would hear their voices and exit the pen to meet them on their own and not from the effort of another. And he counts them with a rod, 'One, two, three, four' and so on, until ten. And the one that comes out tenth he marks with red chalk and he says, 'Behold, this is tithe.'"
