מנחות פרק ה׳ משנה ד׳

And if one places oil or frankincense on the meal offering of a sinner or on the meal offering of jealousy brought by a sota, he is liable to be flogged for violating the prohibition against placing the oil by itself, and he is liable to be flogged for violating the prohibition against placing the frankincense by itself, as these are two separate prohibitions. If one placed oil upon the meal offering he has disqualified it, but if one placed frankincense upon the meal offering he should gather the frankincense and remove it. In this manner, the meal offering can be salvaged. Furthermore, one violates the prohibition only by placing oil on the meal offering prior to the removal of the handful; if he placed oil on its remainder he does not violate a prohibition. If one placed a vessel with oil on top of a vessel that contains a meal offering of a sinner or a meal offering brought by a sota he did not disqualify the meal offering, as the oil was not placed on the meal offering itself.
וְחַיָּב עַל הַשֶּׁמֶן בִּפְנֵי עַצְמוֹ, וְעַל הַלְּבוֹנָה בִּפְנֵי עַצְמָהּ. נָתַן עָלֶיהָ שֶׁמֶן, פְּסָלָהּ. לְבוֹנָה, יִלְקְטֶנָּה. נָתַן שֶׁמֶן עַל שְׁיָרֶיהָ, אֵינוֹ עוֹבֵר בְּלֹא תַעֲשֶׂה. נָתַן כְּלִי עַל גַּבֵּי כְּלִי, לֹא פְסָלָהּ:
ד׳

וחייב על השמן – if he placed upon the meal-offering for a sinner or on the meal/grain-offering of jealousy.

נתן כלי – which contains oil.

על גבי כלי – of the meal/grain-offering of the sinner.

לא פסלה – and we don’t say that behold he transgressed on what is written in the Torah (Leviticus 5:11): “he shall not add oil to it [or lay frankincense to it],” for the Torah did not warn other than that he should not place the oil into the fine-flour or into the flour.

וחייב על השמן. אם נתנו על מנחת חוטא או על מנחת קנאות:

נתן כלי. שיש בו שמן:

על גבי כלי. של מנחת חוטא:

לא פסלה. ולא אמרינן הרי עבר על מה שכתוב בתורה לא ישים עליה שמן, שלא הזהירה תורה אלא שלא יתן השמן לתוך הסולת או לתוך הקמח:

Mishnah 2

Mishnayos Menachos Perek 5 Mishnah 5

מנחות פרק ה׳ משנה ה׳

5
There are four categories of meal offerings: Those that require bringing near, a rite that requires the priests to carry the offering in their hands and bring it near the southwest corner of the altar, but do not require waving; those that require both bringing near and waving; those that require waving but not bringing near; and those that require neither waving nor bringing near. The mishna elaborates: And these are the meal offerings that require bringing near but do not require waving: The fine-flour meal offering; the meal offering prepared in a pan; the meal offering prepared in a deep pan; the meal offering baked in an oven, which can be brought in the form of loaves or in the form of wafers; the meal offering of priests; the meal offering of the anointed priest; the meal offering of gentiles; a meal offering brought by women; and the meal offering of a sinner. Rabbi Shimon says: The meal offering of priests and the meal offering of the anointed priest do not require bringing of the meal offering near to the altar, due to the fact that there is no removal of a handful in their sacrifice, and there is a principle that with regard to any meal offering where there is no removal of a handful in their sacrifice, there is also no bringing near.
יֵשׁ טְעוּנוֹת הַגָּשָׁה וְאֵינָן טְעוּנוֹת תְּנוּפָה, תְּנוּפָה וְלֹא הַגָּשָׁה, הַגָּשָׁה וּתְנוּפָה, לֹא תְנוּפָה וְלֹא הַגָּשָׁה. אֵלּוּ טְעוּנוֹת הַגָּשָׁה וְאֵינָן טְעוּנוֹת תְּנוּפָה, מִנְחַת הַסֹּלֶת, וְהַמַּחֲבַת, וְהַמַּרְחֶשֶׁת, וְהַחַלּוֹת, וְהָרְקִיקִין, מִנְחַת כֹּהֲנִים, מִנְחַת כֹּהֵן מָשִׁיחַ, מִנְחַת גּוֹיִם, מִנְחַת נָשִׁים, מִנְחַת חוֹטֵא. רַבִּי שִׁמְעוֹן אוֹמֵר, מִנְחַת כֹּהֲנִים, מִנְחַת כֹּהֵן מָשִׁיחַ, אֵין בָּהֶן הַגָּשָׁה, מִפְנֵי שֶׁאֵין בָּהֶן קְמִיצָה. וְכֹל שֶׁאֵין בָּהֶן קְמִיצָה, אֵין בָּהֶן הַגָּשָׁה:

טעונות הגשה – with regard to the thanksgiving offering of he southwestern corner [of the altar] as it is written (Leviticus 2:8): “[When you present to the LORD a grain offering…it shall be brought to the priest] who shall take it up to the altar.”

והחלות והרקיקין – an offering of grain baked in the oven.

מנחת כהנים – that is completely burned.

וכל שאין בהם קמיצה – to permit the residue/remnants from the meal-offering for the Kohanim, and they don’t have bringing near [of the sacrifice]. But the Halakha is not according to Rabbi Shimon.

טעונות הגשה. בחודה של קרן דרומית מערבית, כדכתיב (שם ב׳) והגישה אל המזבח:

והחלות והרקיקין. מנחת מאפה תנור:

מנחת כהנים. שהיא כולה כליל:

וכל שאין בהם קמיצה. להתיר השיריים מן המנחה לכהנים, אין בהן הגשה. ואין הלכה כר״ש:
