Commentary for Keritot 5:13

לרבנן מיבעיא להו לומר שאין עונשין מן הדין

And if you argue [that the reason of this order in the Mishnah is] because the instances concerning compounding had to be stated together, [then I would argue] that [the Tanna] should have reversed the order and stated as follows: When one compounds incense, or compounds the oil, or uses the oil [of anointing]; wherefore has he separated [the laws relating to] oil one from the othe if not to let us know that separate sin-offerings are to be brought for them?
