Halakhah for Menachot 6:4
והא תנא מפני שמעשיה מוכיחין עליה קאמר הכי קאמר אע"ג דמחשבה דלא מינכרא היא ותיפסל וזאת תורת המנחה תורה אחת לכל המנחות
where a meal-offering was referred to as an animal-offering, [it does not discharge the owner's obligation, for it is written.] 'And this is the law of the meal-offering'; but it is not written 'of the animal-offering'. But did no the Tanna [R'Simeon] say, 'For the preparation thereof clearly indicates [the true nature of the offering]'?<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' Accordingly a meal-offering referred to as an animal-offering should be valid since the reference is apparently absurd.');"><sup>5</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.)
