Audio by Dr. Michael Sokolow

Zevachim 5:1: What are the locations of the sacrifices? Kodshai Kodashim [sacrifices of the highest degree of sanctity. They may be slaughtered only on the north-west corner of the altar, and consumed only within the Temple compound by male priests, or burnt entirely] are slaughtered on the north [side of the altar]. [The] bull and [the] goat of Yom Kippur are slaughtered on the north [side of the altar] and their blood is collected in a consecrated vessel on the north [side of the altar]. Their blood requires sprinkling between the staves [of the ark] and on the curtain [separating the main shrine from the Holy of Holies chamber] and on the golden [incense] altar. [The omission] of one of these applications invalidates [the offering]. He [a priest] poured out the remainder of the blood on the western base of the outer altar. If he did not [pour it out], that does not invalidate [the offering].

איזהו מקומן שלזבחים? קדשי קדשים - שחיטתן בצפון. פר ושעיר של יום הכפורים - שחיטתן בצפון, וקבול דמן בכלי שרת בצפון, ודמן טעון הזיה על בין הבדים, ועל הפרכת, ועל מזבח הזהב. מתנה אחת מהן מעכבת. שירי הדם היה שופך על יסוד מערבי שלמזבח החיצון. אם לא נתן - לא עכב.

Zevachim 5:2: The bulls and the goats which are burned are slaughtered on the north [side of the altar] and their blood is collected in a consecrated vessel on the north [side of the altar]. Their blood requires sprinkling on the curtain and on the golden altar. [The omission] of one of these applications invalidates [the offering]. He poured out the remainder of the blood on the western base of the outer altar. If he did not [pour it out], that does not invalidate [the offering]. Both of these [offerings] are burned in the place of the ashes [outside of the city].

פרים הנשרפים ושעירים הנשרפים - שחיטתן בצפון, וקבול דמן בכלי שרת בצפון, ודמן טעון הזיה על הפרכת, ועל מזבח הזהב. מתנה אחת מהן מעכבת. שירי הדם היה שופך על יסוד מערבי שלמזבח החיצון. אם לא נתן - לא עכב. אלו ואלו נשרפין בבית הדשן.
