Reference for Menachot 26:6
מאי אינה מן המנחה אינה בעיכוב מנחה דלאו כי היכי דמעכב להו קומץ לשירים דכמה דלאו מתקטר קומץ לא מיתאכלי שירים ה"נ מעכב לה ללבונה אלא אי בעי האי מקטר ברישא ואי בעי האי מקטר ברישא
- The expression 'IS NOT OF THE MEAL-OFFERING' means, it is not dependent upon the [handful of the] meal-offering: for it is not right to say. as the handful is indispensable to the remainder-for so long as the handful has not been burnt the remainder may not be eaten-so it is indispensable to the frankincense; but in fact if he wishes he may burn this first and if he wishes he may burn that first.<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' This then is the position of R. Jose: a mattir does not render piggul another mattir; yet, says R. Jose, there is a distinction between an animal-offering and a meal-offering. In the case of an animal-offering the blood and the sacrificial portions are one, so that they are not regarded as separate mattirs; and therefore if a wrongful intention was expressed during the sprinkling of the blood with regard to the burning of the sacrificial portions, this would render the offering piggul. On the other hand, in the case of the meal-offering, the handful and the frankincense are two separate mattirs, for they ate of different substances, and are independent of each other, for either may be offered before the other; therefore the principle of a mattir not rendering piggul another mattir will apply.');"><sup>7</sup></span>
