Mesorat%20hashas for Menachot 135:3

הא לא קשיא טחינה בריחיא דידא הרקדה על גבי נפה

GEMARA. Rab and Samuel both stated that when the Temple stood the offering of the 'Omer rendered [the new corn] permitted, and when the Temple was no more the daybreak [of the sixteenth day] rendered it permitted. What is the reason for this? Because two expressions are written; it is written, Until ye have brought, and also, Until this selfsame day. How are they to be reconciled? The former refers to the time when the Temple stood, the other to the time when the Temple was no more. R. Johanan and Resh Lakish both stated that even when the Temple stood the daybreak [of the sixteenth day] rendered it permitted. But is it not written also, Until ye have brought? - This is only a recommendation. [But have we not learnt:] AFTER THE 'OMER WAS OFFERED THE NEW CORN WAS PERMITTED FORTHWITH? - This, too, is only a recommendation. [And have we not learnt:] The 'Omer rendered the new corn permitted throughout the land and the Two Loaves rendered it permitted in the Temple? - This, too, is only a recommendation.<br>
