130 - EATING MEAT OF CONSECRATED OFFERINGS WHICH HAVE BECOME UNCLEAN


Leviticus 7:19 --The flesh that touches any unclean thing shall not be eaten. It shall be burned with fire. And as for the clean flesh, all who are clean may eat of it.”

Offerings that have become unclean must be burnt (Lev VII, 19). According to the sages, if the whole or the greater part of the meat of any of the lesser offerings has become unclean, it must be burnt before the Temple building, so as to put the careless owner to shame; if the lesser part, it may be burnt in the owner’s own courtyard. As for the most holy offerings, the rule is that if they became unclean within the Sanctuary Court they must be burnt there; if outside the Sanctuary Court, the burning likewise must take place outside the holy precincts of the Sanctuary.*
