Kerisos 5:4-5

Krisos 5:4

Let’s say that there was a piece of secular food and a piece of sanctified food. If a person ate one of them and we don’t know which one, he is exempt. Rabbi Akiva says that he must bring a conditional guilt offering; if he eats the second piece, he must bring a definite guilt offering. If one person ate the first and a different person ate the second, then each of them brings a conditional guilt offering; this is the opinion of Rabbi Akiva. Rabbi Shimon says that the two of them jointly bring a single guilt offering. Rabbi Yosi says that two people cannot share a single guilt offering.

Krisos 5:5

Let’s say that there was a piece of secular food and a piece of forbidden fat. If a person ate one of them and we don’t know which one, he must bring a conditional guilt offering; if he eats the second piece, he must bring a sin offering. If one person ate the first and a different person ate the second, then each of them brings a conditional guilt offering; this is the opinion of Rabbi Akiva. Rabbi Shimon says that the two of them jointly bring a single sin offering. Rabbi Yosi says that two people cannot share a single sin offering.
