מנחות י״ב:ד׳ - י״ב:ה׳

שמן צבור מביאים וכו' – three Esronim (i.e., three-tenths of an Omer) for a bull, for thirteen bulls they are thirty-nine Esronim, and an Issaron (i.e., one-tenth of an Omer) for a lamb; for fourteen lambs they are fourteen Esronim, and two Esronim; for two rams they are four Esronim, that is fifty seven, and for the two daily offerings/Tamidim, two, and for the two lambs for the Musaf/additional offering for Shabbat is two, this is sixty one. But Rabbi Shimon said to them: But were all of them for that self-same day in one utensil, but weren’t these for bulls and these for rams and lambs, for if he mixed/combined them, he invalidated them, for the meal-offering of bulls – their mixture was thick, two LOG (i.e., a LOG equals the volume of six eggs bulk) for an Issaron, one-half of a Hin for thee Esronim, but for the meal offering of lambs, their mixture was thin, one-quarter of a Hin for an Issaron, which is three LOG, and they absorb one from another , and it is found that this one is less and that one has more. But for what reason does an individual not bring sixty-one Esronim in one utensil, for up to sixty, one can thoroughly mix in one LOG. But this Tanna/teacher holds like Rabbi Eliezer ben Yaakov who stated in the chapter [nine, Mishnah three of Tractate Menahot] “Two Measures”/שתי מדות – even a meal offering of sixty Esronim, it does not have any ought one Log. But even though it was all mixed, since it was appropriate to be mixed, the mixing does not make it indispensable., for such we hold that everything wherever from the proportions and properties of the mixture a perfect fusion is possible, the real act of mixing thoroughly is not indispensable (see Talmud Hullin 83b), but that which is not appropriate for a thorough mixture, the thorough mixture makes it indispensable.

וששים ואחד אין נבללים – in astonishment!

קרטוב (1/64th of a LOG or 3/32 of an egg-bulk) – a fourth of a fourth of a LOG.

אין מתנדבים לוג – wine for libations. For we have not found a meal-offering of libations of one LOG and not of two nor of five [of wine].

אבל מתנדבים ג' לוגים – that are appropriate for a lamb. And four [LOG] that are appropriate for a ram. And six LOG which is one-half of Hin that are appropriate for a bull. But from six [LOG] and above, they volunteer as a free-will offering, for seven are appropriate for three of them for a lamb and four for a ram, and eight are appropriate for two rams, and nine are appropriate for a lamb and a bull, ten are appropriate for a ram and a bull, eleven are appropriate for two rams and a lamb. And similarly throughout.

מתנדבים יין – without choice flour and oil, and we offer it as a libation for sixty on its own.

ואין מתנדבים שמן – without choice flour and wine.

מתנדבין שמן – and he takes a fistful and offers up the handful [of the meal-offering] which is offered up as incense but the remnants are consumed.

שכן הוא קרב חובתו בפני עצמו – with his obligation it is offered on its own. Even though it comes as an obligation with the meal offering, it is not indispensable to the meal-offering.

תאמר בשמן כו' – for since we do not find it in it, for it is not in a utensil on its own, now also it is not brought.

אפילו פרידה אחת – one turtle-dove or one pigeon, we make a free-will offering among the two [of them]. And the Halakah is that we make free-will offerings of wine and oil on their own, and we make a free-will offering of a meal-offering of libations, whether the libations of a bull or whether the libations of a ram or a lamb. And all of the sacrifices come as a jointly owned free-will offering, except for the meal-offering, because it is stated regarding it "נפש"/an individual soul, as it is written (Leviticus 2:1): “When a person presents an offering of grain [to the LORD, his offering shall be of choice flour].”
