Mishnayos Shekalim Perek 8 Mishnah 7

שקלים פרק ח׳ משנה ז׳

7

Rabbi Elazar says: Flesh from offerings of the most sacred order that became ritually impure from a primary source of ritual impurity, whether it became so inside the courtyard or outside, is burned outside. Since its ritual impurity is of the most stringent type, it is not to be brought into the courtyard, or allowed to remain there. However, an item that became ritually impure from a secondary source of ritual impurity, whether it became ritually impure outside or inside, is burned inside. Since its ritual impurity is of a lenient type, it can be brought into the courtyard in order to be burned. Rabbi Akiva says: The place of its impurity is where its burning should occur. Therefore, regardless of whether the source is primary or secondary, such flesh is burned wherever it presently is.

את שנטמא בולד הטומאה בין בפנים בין בחוץ ישרף בפנים – since it is ritually pure from the Torah, even if it became defiled outside, we must fulfill its burning in the holy [precincts].

ואת שנטמא בולד הטומאה בין בחוץ בין בפנים ישרף בפנים. דכיון דטהור מדאורייתא אפילו נטמא בחוץ יש לקיים בו שריפתו בקודש:
