Halakhah for Menachot 6:5
ומאי אבל בזבחים אינו כן
- He meant thus: Although the expressed statement<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' In the case where the priest expressly refers to a meal-offering prepared on a griddle as one prepared in a pan.');"><sup>6</sup></span> clearly does not [correspond with the actual offering] and consequently it should be invalid,<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' For the view now held is that where the expressed intention is absurd on the face of it it most certainly renders the offering invalid, for otherwise it may be said that it is permitted to vary offerings.');"><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.)
