שמע מינה
For it was taught, R'Joshua said: In all the sacrificial animals mentioned in the Torah, if there is left [a piece of flesh] the size of an or [a piece of fat] the size of an olive, the blood may be sprinkled,<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' For since the size of an olive remains of the flesh, which is sufficient for the eating of a man, and the size of an olive of fat, which is adequate for burning on the altar, we may proceed to sprinkle the blood. If, however, nothing remains, then there cannot be any sprinkling. We thus see that if everything is lost except the size of an olive of flesh and fat, we can still conclude the sacrificial rite. Therefore the statement that 'in all phases it must be perfect' quoted in the Baraitha just mentioned, can only refer to the law of its being a year old.');"><sup>9</sup></span>
