Disclaimer: this is not a Halachic question and I didn't research much yet.

There's a whole subject of having wrong thoughts when bringing a sacrifice and performing numerous actions by the owner or a Cohen. Some are so severe they invalidate the sacrifice. E.g. the beginning of Zvochim (1.1):

All offerings that were slaughtered not for their own sake, i.e., during the slaughtering the slaughterer’s intent was to sacrifice a different offering, are fit, ... But these offerings did not satisfy the obligation of the owner, who is therefore required to bring another offering.

I thought that since all the offerings are explicit Mitzvas (AFAIK), don't they require saying a Brocho {on every action - slaughtering, accepting blood, etc) so we all be sure that the thoughts/intents were appropriate?

    Many other things require intent and the bracha isn't me'akeiv, so why should it be here?

  • How does saying a blessing clarify what the intent was regarding when to eat the meat for example?

  • @DoubleAA For example if he says "אשר קדשנו בקדושתו של אהרן להקריב עולה" it is clear he's not offering Shlamim

  • Meaning this would only help for the one specific lishmah issue of which type korban it is.

  • @DoubleAA That would save 50% of troubles, given the Brocho is said at every work (by owner and Cohanim)
