רבנן סברי הציץ מרצה על אכילות ורבי יהודה סבר אין הציץ מרצה על אכילות

The Rabbis are of the opinion that the plate renders [the offering] acceptable [even though] the eatable portions [had become unclean];<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' Of course, there is no question at all that the unclean portions are forbidden to be eaten; for there is an express prohibition against it (Lev. VII, 19) . They hold, however, that where one loaf became unclean the offering is acceptable, and the sprinkling is a valid sprinkling; consequently the other loaf is permitted to be eaten.');">¹</span> but R'Judah is of the opinion that the plate does not render [the offering] acceptable [where] the eatable portions [had become unclean].<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' And as the sprinkling is not valid, even the clean loaf may not be eaten. R. Papa apparently ignores the reason stated by R. Judah in our Mishnah, FOR THE OFFERING OF THE CONGREGATION MAY NOT BE DIVIDED, and submits quite a new argument for R. Judah's view.');">²</span>
