Reference for Menachot 155:15

מאי תלמודא אמר רב פפא דבר שנאמר בו מצות לאפוקי רבוכה דלא נאמר בו מצות דבי רבי ישמעאל תנא מצות כלל חלות ורקיקין פרט כלל ופרט אין בכלל אלא מה שבפרט חלות ורקיקין אין מידי אחרינא לא:

How is this implied? - R'Papa answered, [It<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' The expression 'his peace-offerings'.');"><sup>26</sup></span> includes for the Nazirite-offering] only those kinds which are specified by the term 'unleavened', thus excluding the soaked cakes which are not specified by the term 'unleavened'.<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' This term describes the cakes and the wafers prescribed for the thank-offering, Lev. VII, 12; accordingly the unleavened cakes spoken of in the Nazirite-offering signify these same cakes.');"><sup>27</sup></span> A Tanna of the School of R'Ishmael taught: 'A basket of unleavened bread'<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' Num. VI, 15.');"><sup>28</sup></span> is a general statement, 'cakes' and 'wafers' are particular instances; we thus have a general statement followed by the enumeration of particular instances, in which case the scope of the general statement is limited to the particulars specified; thus only cakes and wafers, but nothing else.
