An impure person who ate either pure or impure sacrificial meat is liable; Rabbi Yose HaGlili says: An impure person who ate pure sacrificial meat is liable, and an impure person who ate impure sacrificial meat is exempt because he merely ate something that was impure. They said to him: [If so,] even someone impure who ate pure sacrificial meat [should be exempt], because once he touches it, he has made it impure. And a pure person who ate impure sacrificial meat is exempt, because one is only liable when he himself is impure.

The [absence of the] blue [in the fringes] does not invalidate the white, neither does the [absence of the] white invalidate the blue.

The [absence of the] fine flour and the oil does not invalidate the wine, neither does the [absence of the] wine invalidate them. The [absence of one of the] sprinklings [of the blood] on the outer altar does not invalidate the rest.
