Midrash for Zevachim 71:9
ועוד טעמא דר' יהודה סברא הוא דתניא אמר להם רבי יהודה אי אתם מודים שאם הניחו למחר שהוא פסול אף חישב להניחו למחר פסול אלא טעמא דרבי יהודה סברא הוא וניפלוג נמי ר"י בכולהו
Because 'his offering' is written; [and] to all of these I apply [the injunction], 'he shall not leave any of it until the morning'!<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' Thus R. Judah utilises the verse for a different purpose!');"><sup>12</sup></span> - If so,<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' If this is the only purpose of the text.');"><sup>13</sup></span>
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.
