Zevachim 160
ועוד תניא בהדיא הניתנין למעלה שנתערבו בניתנין למטה רבי אליעזר אומר יתן למעלה והתחתונים עלו לו
<br> Moreover, it was explicitly taught: If [blood] which is applied above was mixed with [blood] that is applied below, R. Eliezer said: He must sprinkle [it] above, and the lower [blood] acquits him. But if you say that there is no even distribution, why does it acquit him? perhaps he sprinkled the upper [blood] below and the lower [blood] above? - The case we discuss here is where we have an excess of upper [blood], and he sprinkles above the quantity of the lower [blood] plus a little more. But he teaches that the lower [blood] acquits him? - [It counts] as the residue. <br>
ואי אמרת אין בילה אמאי עלו לו דילמא קיהיב עליונים למטה והתחתונים למעלה
Come and hear: If he [the priest] sprinkled [iff without asking. R. Eliezer said: He must re-sprinkle above, and the lower [blood] acquits him? - Here too the excess was upper [blood], and he sprinkles above the quantity of the lower blood plus a little more. But he teaches that the lower [blood] acquits him? - [It counts] as the residue.
הכא במאי עסקינן כגון דאיכא רובא עליונים וקא יהיב למעלה שיעור תחתונים ועוד
Come and hear: If he sprinkled it above without asking, both agree that he must re-sprinkle below, and both [sprinklings] are credited to him! - Here too the excess was upper [blood], and he sprinkles above the quantity of the lower blood plus a little more. Yet surely he teaches: Both [sprinklings] are credited to him? - Does he then teach, 'Both agree [in this]'? Surely he teaches, 'Both are credited to him', this final clause thus agreeing with the Rabbis [only], who maintain that there is even distribution.
הא תחתונים עלו לו קתני לשם שירים
Come and hear: IF [BLOOD] WHICH REQUIRES ONE APPLICATION [WAS MIXED] WITH BLOOD [ALSO] REQUIRING ONE APPLICATION, IT [THE MIXTURE] SHOULD BE PRESENTED WITH ONE APPLICATION. Now, if you say that there is no even distribution, why should it be presented with one application? perhaps he sprinkles [the blood] of one [sacrifice] but not that of the other? - It means, e.g., where one [minimum quantity] was mixed with another [minimum quantity]. [BLOOD] WHICH REQUIRES FOUR APPLICATIONS WITH [BLOOD] THAT REQUIRES FOUR APPLICATIONS? There too it means that [the quantity for] four [applications] was mixed with [the quantity for] four [applications]. [BLOOD] WHICH<br>
