Commentary for Zevachim 88:3

אלא א"ר ירמיה לעולם ר"מ היא וסמי מיכן נסכים אמר אביי לעולם לא תסמי ותנא לוג הבא עם האשם והוא הדין לנסכים הבאין עם הזבח והדר תנא נסכים הבאין בפני עצמן והוא הדין ללוג הבא בפני עצמו:

Whence do we know it? - For Levi taught: [This shall be thine - the priest's . . . ] every offering of theirs: that is to include a leper's log of oil. I might think that the Divine Law wrote, reserved from the fire, whereas this is not reserved from the fire; therefore it informs us [that it is not so]. Even every meal-offering of theirs includes the meal-offering of the 'omer and the meal-offering of jealousy. I might think [that it is written,] And they shall eat these things wherewith atonement was made, [whereas] the meal-offering of the 'omer comes to permit [the new corn], while the meal-offering of jealousy comes to establish guilt; therefore [the text] informs us [that it is not so]. And every sin-offering of theirs includes the sin-offering of a bird. I might think that it is nebelah; therefore [the text] informs us [that it is not so]. And every guilt-offering of theirs includes a nazirite's guilt-offering and a leper's guilt-offering. I might think that these come to qualify [them]; therefore [the text] informs us [that it is not so]. But it is explicitly written that a leper's guilt-offering [is eaten]? Rather it is to include a nazirite's guilt-offering [teaching that it is like] a leper's guilt-offering. Which they may render includes what is taken by robbery from a proselyte. Shall be for thee: it shall be thine even for betrothing a woman. <br>
