Commentary for Menachot 105:1
(ויקרא ו, ז) זאת תורת המנחה הקרב אותה בני אהרן לפני ה' אל פני המזבח והנותרת ממנה יאכלו אהרן ובניו מצות תאכל אמר ליה מצוה לא קא מיבעיא לי כי קא מיבעיא לי לעכב
And this is the law of the meal-offering: the sons of Aaron shall offer it before the Lord in front of the altar And that which is left thereof shall Aaron and his sons eat; it shall be eaten as unleavened bread!<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' Lev. VI, 7, 9.');"><sup>1</sup></span> - He [R'Perida] said to him, As to the proper performance of the precept I have no doubt at all, I ask only whether it is indispensable.<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' That the meal-offering must be unleavened, and otherwise it would be invalid.');"><sup>2</sup></span>
Mei HaShiloach
Gemara: The rabbinic students said to R' Preida: "R' Ezra, the grandson of R' Avtolas, who is a tenth-generation descendant of R' Elazar ben Azaryah, who was a tenth-generation descendant of Ezra the Scribe, is standing at the door." R' Preida said to them: "What is all this? Why do you give his lineage? ... If he is a scholar and of distinguished ancestry fine. But if he is of distinguished ancestry and is not a scholar, [may fire consume him!]" They answered him: "He is a scholar." [R' Preida] said to them: "Let him enter and come before us." When R' Ezra entered [R'Preida] saw that his mind was unsettled. [R' Preida] therefore began saying,[NOTE: Translated in accord with the Izhbitzer's explanation below]: "'I said to God," etc., 'My good is in other than you.'"
