Commentary for Zevachim 214:5
אמר ר' אבהו שחט וזרק לדברי ר' ישמעאל חייב אחת לדברי ר"ע חייב שתים
Abaye said: Even on R'Akiba's view, he is liable to one only, because Scripture saith, There thou shalt offer up thy burnt-offerings, and there thou shalt do all that I command thee:<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' Deut. XII, 14,');"><sup>6</sup></span> Scripture thus ranked them as one 'doing' [rite].<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' By enumerating 'offer-up' and 'do' separately, it follows that Scripture counts offering up as one act, and all other rites which are 'done' as another single act. Hence they involve one offering only. 'Offer up' means to burn on the altar. The other sacrificial rites (do) comprise slaughtering, receiving the blood and carrying it to the altar, and sprinkling.');"><sup>7</sup></span>
