Halakhah for Menachot 19:9
שמאלית (העני) למאי אתא אמר רב שישא בריה דרב אידי ליפסול ימין דכהן במצורע שלא תאמר ומה במקום שלא נתרבתה שמאל נתרבתה ימין במקום שנתרבתה שמאל אינו דין שנתרבתה ימין
The term 'hand' [is required for purposes of analogy] with 'hand' in respect of the taking out of the handful,<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' The word 'hand' is stated here in connection with the rites of a rich man (Lev. XIV, 17) and also in connection with the taking of the handful from the meal-offering (ibid IX, 17) : as in the former case the right hand is meant for it is expressly stated so, so in the latter case, too, the right hand is meant.');"><sup>7</sup></span>
Sefer HaChinukh
From the laws of the commandment is that which they said (Menachot 73b) that if they did not find new [wheat], they can bring it from the [storehouse]; and that one should not bring wheat that descended from the clouds at the outset, because there is a doubt if I call this, “from your inhabitations,” or not. But if he brought it, it is fit. The kneading of the two breads and their forming is outside [the courtyard] and its baking is inside, like all of the meal-offerings. And their baking does not push off [the prohibition of work on] the holiday, as it is stated (Exodus 12:16), “shall be done for you” — and not for the higher realm. The waving of the bread with the lambs of the peace-offerings was done while they were still alive. And the high priest takes one of the loaves, and the second is divided for all of the shifts. And the rest of its details are elucidated in Menachot, Chapters 4, 5, 8 and 11. (See Mishneh Torah, Laws of Daily Offerings and Additional Offerings 8.)
