Mishnah 1א׳
הַתְּכֵלֶת אֵינָהּ מְעַכֶּבֶת אֶת הַלָּבָן, וְהַלָּבָן אֵינוֹ מְעַכֵּב אֶת הַתְּכֵלֶת. תְּפִלָּה שֶׁל יָד אֵינָהּ מְעַכֶּבֶת שֶׁל רֹאשׁ, וְשֶׁל ראשׁ אֵינָהּ מְעַכֶּבֶת שֶׁל יָד. הַסֹּלֶת וְהַשֶּׁמֶן אֵינָם מְעַכְּבִין אֶת הַיַּיִן, וְלֹא הַיַּיִן מְעַכְּבָן. הַמַּתָּנוֹת שֶׁעַל מִזְבֵּחַ הַחִיצוֹן אֵינָן מְעַכְּבוֹת זוֹ אֶת זוֹ:
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] hand-tefillin does not invalidate the head-tefillin, neither does the [absence of the] head-tefillin invalidate the hand-tefillin. 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.
Mishnah 2ב׳
הַפָּרִים וְהָאֵילִים וְהַכְּבָשִׂים אֵינָן מְעַכְּבִין זֶה אֶת זֶה. רַבִּי שִׁמְעוֹן אוֹמֵר, אִם הָיוּ לָהֶם פָּרִים מְרֻבִּים וְלֹא הָיוּ לָהֶם נְסָכִים, יָבִיאוּ פַר אֶחָד וּנְסָכָיו, וְלֹא יִקְרְבוּ כֻלָּן בְּלֹא נְסָכִין:
The [absence of the] bulls or the rams or the sheep do not invalidate one another. R. Simon says: if they had [enough funds to buy] many bulls but they did not have [enough to buy the] libations [which accompany them], let them bring one bull with its libation; let them not offer them all without libations.
