Musar for Makkot 33:9
<big><strong>גמ׳</strong></big> אמר רבה בר בר חנה א"ר יוחנן זו דברי רבי עקיבא סתימתאה אבל חכמים אומרים בכורים הנחה מעכבת בהן קריאה אין מעכבת בהן
GEMARA: Rabah bar bar Channa said in the name of Rebbi Yochanon, these are the words of Rebbi Akiva, the unnamed authority. The sages, however, say that regarding bikorim, their placement is essential to them, but the recital [or their verses] is not essential to them.
Shenei Luchot HaBerit
Commandment 448 prohibits the eating of קדשים קלים, i.e. offerings some parts of which may be consumed by the owner, before completion of the sprinkling of the blood on the altar. This is also derived from 12,17. The word ונדבותיך is understood as basically superfluous and therefore used to refer to premature consumption of freewill offerings such as תודה and שלמים.
