Halakhah for Menachot 6:19
כרב אשי לא אמרי משום קושיא דרב אחא בריה דרבא
It is written, And every meal-offering, mingled with oil [belulah ba-shemen] or dry;<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' Lev. VII, 10. .');"><sup>29</sup></span> it is indeed referred to as 'mingled with oil', but never as 'mingled' by itself.<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' So that to refer to a dry meal-offering as mingled does not necessarily mean that it is intended to be a meal-offering mingled with oil, for this would have been expressly stated; it is regarded as empty words and the offering is not affected thereby.');"><sup>30</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.)
