Commentary for Menachot 6:6

אע"ג דשחיטה אחת לכולן וזאת תורת המנחה וזבח לא כתיב

[yet it is not so, for it is written,] 'And this is the law of the meal-offering': there is but one law for all meal-offerings.<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' I.e., all meal-offerings are regarded as one form of offering, and therefore when dealing with one kind of meal-offering to refer to it as another is of no consequence.');">⁴</span> Then what is the meaning of the statement, 'But with animal-offerings it is not so'?<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' This statement originally was taken to mean that any variation in an animal-offering affects the owner in that his obligation is not discharged. Now, however, according to the interpretation suggested, the contrast with meal-offerings must give the result that any variation in animal-offerings discharges the owner's obligation since, after all, there is but one manner of slaughtering and one manner of sprinkling for all offerings.');">⁸</span>
