The tractate deals with the laws of offering sacrifices. In every mitzvah there is a thought component, a speech component, and an action component. The thought component of the mitzvah of bringing sacrifices is prayer, the speech component is studying Masechet Zevachim, and the action component is in offering the sacrifices.
The Rebbe's ExplanationsEdit
Immediately after slaughtering the animal, its blood must be offered on the altar, and the atonement of the person depends on this, unlike bringing the limbs to the ramp, which the person's atonement does not depend on.
In order to bring the blood to the altar, one needs to carry the animal's blood from the place of slaughter where its blood was collected in a vessel, to the altar where it is offered.
In the tractate it is ruled that carrying not done by foot is not considered carrying.
The early authorities disagree whether even when for technical reasons there is no need for the act of carrying, such as when the slaughter was done close to the altar, if in this case as well there is a need for the act of carrying. According to Rambam, even in this case there is an obligation to specifically perform carrying. In contrast, according to Rashi's approach, when standing next to the altar it is certainly not necessary to carry by foot.
