Zevachim 5:5-6

Zevachim 5:5

Guilt offerings include sacrifices for robbery, for misappropriation of Temple property, for relations with betrothed handmaid, for the purification of a nazir, for the purification of a metzora, and for doubtful transgressions involving kareis (spiritual excision). Public peace offerings and guilt-offerings are slaughtered in the north, their blood is collected in a vessel in the north, and the blood requires two sprinklings that are four (explained in our parenthetical note on mishna 5:4). These sacrifices are eaten inside the courtyard’s hangings, by male kohanim, prepared in any manner, for a day and a night, until midnight.

Zevachim 5:6

Thanksgiving offerings and the ram of a nazir are kodshim kalim (sacrifices of lesser sanctity). These may be slaughtered anywhere in the Temple courtyard, their blood requires two sprinklings that are four, and they may be eaten throughout Jerusalem, by anyone, prepared in any manner, for a day and a night, until midnight. The parts that are separated from them may also be eaten throughout Jerusalem but these may only be eaten by kohanim, their wives, their children and their servants (i.e., those whom a kohein is responsible to feed).
