Halakhah for Zevachim 59:15

דתנן אמר רבי יהודה זה הכלל אם מחשבת הזמן קדמה את מחשבת המקום פיגול וחייבין עליו כרת

[No:] Shechitah counts from the beginning until the end , and our Mishnah means that he declared [that he cut] one organ [intending to eat the flesh] after time and the second organ [intending to eat it] without bounds.<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' Shechitah consists of cutting across the two organs of the throat, viz., the windpipe and the gullet. Here R. Judah disagrees, because he regards them as two separate statements; but in a statement of 'halves' R. Judah (and R. Meir) would agree that the whole counts as one statement and that both parts are regarded. V. also Pes. (Sonc. ed.) p. 315, n. 3.');"><sup>5</sup></span> Yet surely kemizah<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' V. Glos.');"><sup>6</sup></span> is analogous to halves, yet they disagree?<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' If the priest takes the fistful of the meal-offering for burning on the altar while expressing the intention of eating as much as an olive after time and as much as an olive without bounds. There is the same controversy in Men. ');"><sup>7</sup></span> - There too it means that he burnt a fistful of the meal-offering [with the intention of eating] after time and a fistful of the frankincense [intend to eat] without bounds. Yet they disagree in respect of the fistful of a sinner's meal-offering, where there is no frankincense? - They do not disagree there. R'Ashi said: If you should say that they do disagree, they disagree in the steps.<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' As the priest took one step while carrying the fistful to the altar he declared his intention of partaking of the offering without bounds, and as he took another step, his intention of partaking thereof after time. Hence here also we have two separate statements.');"><sup>8</sup></span> R'Shimi B'Ashi recited [the passage] as Abaye; R'Huna B'Nathan recited [it] as Raba. When R'Dimi came,<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' From Palestine to Babylon.');"><sup>9</sup></span> he said: R'Meir stated [his ruling] in accordance with the thesis of R'Judah, who maintained: Regard the first expression. For we learnt: R'JUDAH SAID, THIS IS THE GENERAL RULE: IF THE INTENTION OF TIME PRECEDED THE INTENTION OF PLACE, IT IS PIGGUL, AND INVOLVES KARETH.

Sefer HaMitzvot

That He prohibited an outsider (zar) from serving in the Temple - meaning to say, any man that is not of the offspring of Aharon. And that is His, may He be exalted, saying, "but an outsider shall not approach" (Numbers 18:4). And Scripture explains that one who transgresses this negative commandment is liable for death at the hands of the Heavens. And that is His, may He be exalted, saying, "and an outsider that approaches shall be killed" (Numbers 18:7). And the language of the Sifei (Sifrei Bamidbar 116:2) is, "We have heard of the punishment for service. From where [do we know] the prohibition? [Hence] we learn to say, 'but an outsider should not approach.'" And the prohibition and punishment of this matter have already been repeated; and that is His saying, "And the children of Israel shall no more approach the Tent of Meeting, to bear sin, to die" (Numbers 18:22). And the [types of] service for which an outsider is liable for death have already been explained in the Gemara, Yoma (Yoma 24b). And these are them: Sprinkling [the blood]; burning incense; the water libations; and the wine libations. And the regulations of this commandment have already been explained there and in the second chapter of Zevachim. (See Parashat Korach; Mishneh Torah, Admission into the Sanctuary 9.)

Sefer HaChinukh

From the laws of the commandment is what they, may their memory be blessed, said (Nedarim 35b) that all others may not offer a sacrifice for one who is liable a sacrifice without his consent — except for those lacking atonement, which do not require the consent of the owners. And because of this, they said (Nedarim 35b) that a man may bring a sacrifice for his young sons or daughters if they were lacking atonement, and [then] feed them from sacrifices. And the rest of its details are elucidated in many places in the Gemara, but mainly in Zevachim in the second chapter and Arakhin [in] the sixth chapter and at the end of Negaim and Kinin. (See Mishneh Torah, Laws of Offerings for Those with Incomplete Atonement 4.)
