Midrash for Zevachim 71:12
לערב דמן בדם הפסולין רבי יהודה לטעמיה דאמר אין דם מבטל דם ליתן את הניתנין למעלה למטה למטה למעלה רבי יהודה לטעמיה דאמר שלא למקומו נמי מקומו קרינא ביה
Moreover R'Judah's reason is based on logic.<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' Not a Scriptural exegesis.');"><sup>15</sup></span> For it was taught: R'Judah said to them [the Sages]: Do you not admit that if he left it [the blood or the emurim] for the morrow, [the sacrifice] is invalid?
Sifrei Devarim
(Devarim 17:1) "You shall not sacrifice to the L-rd your G-d an ox or a sheep in which there is a blemish": R. Yehudah says: I might think that if one slaughtered a sin-offering in the south (instead of the north) he transgresses a negative commandment; it is, therefore, written "You shall not sacrifice to the L-rd your G-d a sin-offering in which there is a blemish. For (slaughtering a sin-offering with) a blemish he transgresses a negative commandment, but not for slaughtering it in the south. The sages say: Even for slaughtering a sin-offering in the south he transgresses a negative commandment.
