אוציא את החלות ולא אוציא את הרקיקין תלמוד לומר היא מאי תלמודא אימא להוציא מנחת כהנים

R'Simeon son of Judah says in the name of R'Simeon, One must anoint it in the form of [the letter] chi; and the residue of the oil is consumed by the priests. Another Baraitha taught: If wafers are brought as an offering by themselves, one must bring for them one log of oil and anoint them, repeating this again and again until all the oil in the log has been used up. R'Simeon son of Judah says in the name of R'Simeon, One must anoint them in the form of [the letter] chi, and the residue of the oil is consumed by the priests. <big><b>MISHNAH: </b></big>ALL MEAL-OFFERINGS THAT ARE PREPARED IN A VESSEL<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' I.e., from which the handful is taken (Tif.
