גופא תניא רבי יהודה אומר כוס אחד היה ממלא מדם התערובת שאם ישפך אחד מהם נמצא שהוא מכשירו אמרו לו לרבי יהודה והלא לא נתקבל בכלי מנא ידעי אלא שמא לא נתקבל בכלי אמר להן

R'Judah, as we learnt: Even more did R'Judah say: If the blood [of the he-goat to be sacrificed] was spilt, the [he-goat] whic was to be sent away must perish;<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' But not sent to Azazel, because the two are interdependent, and since a new animal must be brought for the first, as its blood was spilt before sprinkling, a new pair must be brought.');">²⁰</span> if the [he-goat] which was to be sent away perished, the blood [of the other] must be poured out.<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' And likewise two fresh animals brought.
