Kinnim 3:4-5

Kinnim 3:4

If a sin offering, a burnt offering, an undesignated set of birds and a designated set of birds got mixed up and were all offered above the red line, half are valid and half are invalid. If they were all offered below the line, then half are valid and half are invalid. If half were offered above and half were offered below, then none of them are valid except for the undesignated pair, and that must be shared by the two women who brought all these birds.

Kinnim 3:5

If a bird sin offering got mixed up with obligatory offerings, only the number of obligatory sin offerings are valid. If the obligatory offerings are twice the number of sin offerings, then half are valid and half are invalid. If the sin offerings are twice the number of obligatory offerings, then only the number of sin-offerings in the obligatory offerings are valid. Similarly, if a bird burnt-offering got mixed up with obligatory offerings, then only the number of obligatory burnt offerings are valid. If the obligatory offerings are twice as many as the burnt offerings, then half are valid and half are invalid. If the burnt offerings are twice the number of obligatory offerings, then only the number in the obligatory offerings are valid.
