Sotah 15A

ומקטירו בכלי שרת. בכלי שרת מקטיר ליה? אלא אימא: מעלהו בכלי שרת להקטירו.

and burns it in the service vessel. The Talmud asks: Does he really burn it in a service vessel? Rather, say: He brings it up to the altar in a service vessel in order to burn it.

ומולחו ונותנו על גבי האישים, דכתיב: ״וכל קרבן מנחתך במלח תמלח וגו׳״.

The baraita continues: And he salts it and places it on the fires. The Talmud cites the source: As it is written: “And every meal-offering of yours you should season with salt” (Leviticus 2:13).

קרב הקומץ שיריה נאכלין. מנלן ⁠— דכתיב: ״והקטיר הכהן את אזכרתה וגו׳״, וכתיב: ״והנותרת מן המנחה לאהרן ולבניו״.

The baraita continues: After the handful is sacrificed, the remainders of the meal-offering are eaten. The Talmud asks: From where do we derive this? As it is written: “And he should bring it to Aaron’s sons, the priests…and the priest should make the memorial part thereof smoke upon the altar” (Leviticus 2:2). The memorial part is the handful. And it is written afterward: “But that which is left of the meal-offering should be for Aaron and his sons” (Leviticus 2:3).

קרב הקומץ. למר כדאית ליה ולמר כדאית ליה. דאיתמר: הקומץ, מאימתי מתיר שיריים באכילה? רבי חנינא אמר: משתשלוט בו האור, רבי יוחנן אמר: משתיצת האור ברובו.

The baraita uses the phrase: After the handful is sacrificed. This phrase can be understood according to one Sage as he holds, and according to another Sage as he holds. As it is stated that there is a dispute between the rabbis: From when does the sacrifice of the handful render the remainder of the meal-offering permitted for consumption by the priests? R' Ḥanina says: It is when the fire takes hold of it, i.e., when it ignites. R' Yoḥanan says: It is when the fire consumes most of the handful. Each of these amora’im understands the baraita in accordance with his opinion.
