אמר רבינא לעולם קסבר קדשה לשעתה ולא קדשה לעתיד לבא והכא בבכור שנזרק דמו קודם חורבן הבית וחרב הבית ועדיין בשרו קיים ומקשינן בשרו לדמו מה דמו במזבח אף בשרו במזבח ומקיש מעשר לבכור

Ravina says Actually he holds that the original sanctity of the Temple was for its time but not also all future time, but here we are dealing with a Bechor that the blood was sprinkled before the destruction of the Temple, and then the Temple was destroyed with the meat still extant. And we make a hekesh [juxtapose] from the meat to the blood. Just as the blood needs the alter, so does the meat need the alter. And we alos make a hekesh from Maaser to Bechor.
