Text Excerpt
מתני׳ חמשה דברים בעולה מצטרפין זה עם זה: הבשר, והחלב, והסולת, והיין, והשמן. וששה בתודה: הבשר, והחלב, והסולת, והיין, והשמן והלחם.
Mishnah: 5 items in the burnt offering and the accompanying meal offering and libation join together to constitute the one peruta measure with regard to liability for misuse, and the olive-bulk measure with regard to liability for piggul, notar, and partaking of sacrificial foods while ritually impure. They are: The flesh; the fat of the burnt offering that is sacrificed on the altar; the fine flour of the accompanying meal offering; the wine of the accompanying libation; and the oil of the accompanying meal offering. And there are 6 items in the thanks offering that join together: The flesh, the fat, the fine flour, the wine, the oil, and the loaves accompanying the thanks offering.
גמ׳ מתני ליה רב הונא לרבא: ״חמשה דברים בעולם מצטרפין זה עם זה״. אמר ליה: ״בעולם״ קא אמרת? והא קתני בתודה ״ששה דברים שבתודה – הבשר והחלב והסולת והיין והשמן ולחמי תודה״! אמר ליה: תני ״בעולה״.
Talmud: The Mishnah teaches that 5 items in the burnt offering [ba’ola] join together. Rav Huna taught Rava the Mishnah as follows: 5 items in the world [ba’olam] join together. Rava said to Rav Huna: Did you say: In the world, i.e., that there are only 5 items in the world of offerings that join together? But isn’t it taught in the Mishnah with regard to a thanks offering that there are 6 items in the thanks offering that join together: The flesh, the fat, the fine flour, the wine, the oil, and the loaves accompanying the thanks offering? Rav Huna said to Rava: One should teach in the Mishnah: 5 items in the burnt offering [ba’ola] join together, not: 5 items in the world.
§ The Mishnah teaches that the flesh and the fat join together. The Talmud notes that we already learned this, as A baraita states explicitly in a baraita (Tosefta 1:28): The meat of burnt offerings and their sacrificial portions join together to constitute the amount of an olive-bulk that renders one liable for sacrificing them outside the courtyard, and to render one liable for eating them due to piggul, notar, and partaking of them while ritually impure.
