Commentary for Menachot 51:13

<big><strong>מתני׳</strong></big> שלא בכלי שרת פסול ורבי שמעון מכשיר הקטיר קומצה פעמים כשרה:

- For it has been stated [in the abovementioned Baraitha], 'And in the case of a meal-offering, even if all of it still remains, he may not sprinkle the blood'; that is, on account of the meal-offering he may not sprinkle the blood, but it is to be inferred that he may sprinkle on account of the caul of the liver or of the two kidneys. Whence do we know it? - R'Johanan explained on his own authority, It is written, 'For a sweet savour,' signifying that [the blood may be sprinkled on account of] everything that is offered up for a sweet savour.
