XVI, 27) . This implies that they are burnt immediately they leave the first camp. In fact, however, they are all alike, for Lev. XII, 21 is applied to the bullock of the Day of Atonement (v. supra 39a) ; hence the text is assumed to convey a different teaching, as the Gemara explains. - On the 'three camps', v. p. 276. n. 6.');">¹¹</span> It is to teach you: immediately it has gone forth from the first camp, it defiles garments.<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' Sc. of those who are to burn it.
