Core Text
בְּפַר בֶּן בָּקָר — אֶלָּא בְּדָמוֹ: מִכָּאן לְדָם שֶׁנִּקְרָא פָּר; לְפִיכָךְ שָׁחַט הַכֹּהֵן אֶת הַפָּר וּמֵת קֹדֶם שֶׁיְּכַפֵּר בְּדָמוֹ, הַכֹּהֵן הָאַחֵר נִכְנָס בְּדָם זֶה וּמְכַפֵּר בּוֹ.

English: “With a bull of the herd” — rather, with its blood: from here [we learn] that the blood is called “par”; therefore if the kohen slaughtered the bull and died before atoning with its blood, another kohen enters with this blood and atones with it.

Type of Learning

Blood called “par”

What Is Learned

The blood of the Yom Kippur bull may complete the service even if the original kohen dies after slaughter.
