Question: If a Zar did Holachah (brought blood to the Mizbe'ach), what is the law? (It is an inferior Avodah, for it is not essential, for one can slaughter at the Mizbe'ach.)

Answer #1 (Chizkiyah): Holachah of a Zar is Kosher.

Answer #2 (R. Yanai): Holachah of a Zar is Pasul.

Question: A Mishnah argues with R. Yanai! If one did Kabalah in his right hand, and put [the bucket of blood] in his left hand, he returns it to his right hand;

Isn't the left hand like a Zar? (Returning it to his right hand is like Holachah of a Zar!)

Answer #1: The case is, his left hand was closer inside [to the Mizbe'ach than his right hand, so returning it to his right hand is not Holachah].

Answer #2 (R. Ba): We can even say that his left hand was further outside [than his right hand]. Holachah of a Zar is unlike Holachah by hand.

(R. Ze'irah): They did not make stretching out the hand like Holachah.

Answer #1 (Rav Bivi): It spilled [on an incline, and went] only away [from the Mizbe'ach].

Answer #2 (R. Ba): We can even say that it spilled closer. Holachah of a Zar is unlike Holachah by itself.

Question: Our Mishnah argues with R. Yanai! He took the Machtah in his right hand, and the Kaf in his left hand.

Answer: Here is different, for he cannot do (carry both with his right hand);

If he will hang [the Kaf] from his forearm, this is not honorable!

Question: He should switch them (take the Kaf in his right hand, and the Machtah in his left hand)!

Answer: We are holding that if he switched them, it is Pasul.

Question: He should [hold the Machtah in his left hand, and] scoop [coals into it using a fork in his right hand, and he will not need to switch hands! The entire year,] if he scooped from his right hand to his left hand, it is Kosher. We should say that also there (on Yom Kipur) he may scoop [from his right to his left]!

Answer: There (on Yom Kipur), if he scooped [from his right to his left] it is Pasul, and if he switched them, it is Pasul. However, here (the rest of the year), if he scooped [from his right to his left] it is Kosher, but if he switched them, it is Pasul. (We explained the question and answer like HA'GAON RAV C. KANIEVSKY, SHLITA.)

All agree that if he entered one at a time (e.g. the Kaf, and left and entered the Machtah), he atoned, but he transgresses entering an extra time.

Question: For which does he transgress?

Answer #1 (Talmidim): [He transgresses] for the latter.

Objection (and Answer #2 - R. Yosi): [If he would ask,] one would tell him "enter'' [and bring the Machtah], and you say so?! Rather, [he transgresses] for the first.

Question: A Mishnah (Shevu'os 2:3) says that [if one became Tamei in the Mikdash, and before leaving] he bowed, or delayed in order to bow, for which does he transgress (for his initial delay before starting to leave, or at the end, after the time elapsed in which he could have left)?

Answer #1 (Talmidim): [He transgresses] for the latter.

Objection (and Answer #2 - R. Yosi): [If he would ask,] one would tell him "leave'' [and he is doing so], and you say so?! Rather, [he transgresses] for the first.
