מנחות ט׳:ג׳ - ט׳:ד׳

רביעית מים למצורע – as it is written (Leviticus 14:5): “[The priest shall order] one of the birds slaughtered over fresh water in an earthen vessel,” into water that the blood of the bird shall be seen in them, and the Sages estimated one-quarter of a LOG.

רביעית שמן לנזיר – for the bread of the Nazirite [when he completes his period of Naziriteship]. But the one-quarter [of a LOG] he diodes not sanctify to be in a service vessel because of the one-quarter [of a LOG] of water of the leper, for this is outside [the Temple courtyard]. But not because of the bread of the Nazirite, for there bread of a Nazirite is not holy other than with the slaughter of the sacrifice. But, because in he would measure for the baked cakes of the High Priest a quarter [of a LOG] of oil for each and every Hallah [loaf], which are twelve Hallah loaves and their libations are three LOG of oil (see also Tractate Menahot, Chapter 7, Mishnah 2).

חצי לוג מים לסוטה – as it is written (Numbers 5:17): “The priest shall take sacral water in an earthen vessel,” half a LOT of mater he would fill from the basin (i.e., the laver for the priests in the Temple court).

חצי לוג שמן לתודה – It is a traditional interpretation of a written law, and similarly, a quarter [of a LOG] of the Nazirite. And the one-half LOG is also not because of the one-half LOG of water of the Sotah (i.e., suspected adulterous woman) and one-half of a LOG of oil of the thanksgiving offering is holy to be in the service utensils, but rather because that in it he separates one-half LOG of oil for each and every candle of the Menorah.

אין לה אלא לוגה – one LOG for every sixty Issarons. But the Halakah is not according to Rabbi Eliezer ben Yaakov (see also Tractate Menahot, Chapter 12, Mishnah 4).

ששה לוגים לפר – that is one-half of a Hin, as it is written (Numbers 15:9): “[three-tenths of a measure of choice flour] with half of a hin of oil mixed in.” And four Issaron for the ram, that is one-third of a Hin. And three Issaron for the lamb, that is one-quarter of a Hin, for the Hin is twelve LOG.

מחצי לוג לכל נר – that he must put in it its measure that it would continue burning from evening until morning, and the Sages estimated one and one-half LOG oil for the lengthy nights of the season of Tevet. And similarly, he would place in each candle on each night. But if it went out, that wick and the oil became disqualified from lighting with them further, but rather, he removes them and puts in another LOG of oil and a new wick and he kindles it.

מערבין נסכי פרים – the meal-offering of libations of the bull with the meal-offering of the libations of the ram. Because the mixing of both of them is equivalent, two LOGS for an Issaron, for it is taught in the Mishnah (Chapter 9, Mishnah 3 of Tractate Menahot): “six LOG for the bullock,” and choice flour of three Esronim that would be for them as it is written (Numbers 15:9): “there shall be offered as a grain offering along with the animal: three-tenths of a measure of choice flour with half a hin of oil mixed in,” which is six LOG. And for the ram, four LOGIM and choice flour of two Esronim.

נכסי כבשים – three LOGS for the Issaron, as it is written (Numbers 29:4): “and one-tenth for each [of the seven lambs],” and it is written (Exodus 29:40): “[there shall be a tenth of a measure of choice flour] with a quarter of a hin of beaten oil mixed in,” which are three LOGS.

ושל היום בשל אמש – if he brought yesterday’s sacrifice without libations. For we hold that a person who brings his sacrifice today and his libations from now until ten days hence. But if he brought today one sacrifice and two libations with him, one for himself and one for yesterday, they mixed them together if the sacrifices are equivalent, that both were lambs or rams [or bulls] or a bull and a ram.

אבל אין מערבים נסכי כבשים בנסכי פרים ואילים – because the meal-offering of the bull and the ram is dried up/destroyed in connection with the lambs and it absorbs from it, and it is found that the lamb is less and that one is greater.

ואם בללן – that already the commandment of their oil has gone.

כשרות – according to the Rabbis who dispute with Rabbi Yehuda in the chapter, the Great Handful in Tractate Menahot (Chapter 3, Mishnah 2) and they state that what is burned that became mixed with that which is became combined with something mixed can be sacrificed.

ואם עד שלא בללן – when they were combined.

פסולות – for we require that wherever [from the proportions and properties of the mixture a perfect fusion is possible/appropriate, but it is lacking, for it is missing that of the extra lamb and ram.

אע"פ שמנחתו כפולה – as it is written in [the Torah portion of] “Speak to the Kohanim”/Emor (Leviticus 23:13): “The grain offering with it shall be two-tenths of a measure of choice flour with oil mixed in.”
