רבן גמליאל אומר כשם כו' תניא אמר להן רבן גמליאל לחכמים סופרים הניחו לי ואדרשנה כמין חומר

It has been taught: R. Simeon said: It is right that the meal-offering of a sinner should require oil and frankincense, so that a sinner should not gain;<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' By being spared the cost of these ingredients. ');">¹⁰</span> why, then, are they not required? That his offering should not be luxurious. It is also right that an ordinary sin-offering<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' Lit., 'sin-offering of (forbidden) fat', because the words ye shall eat neither fat nor blood (Lev. III, 16) are followed by Chap. IV which deals with the sin-offering. ');">¹¹</span> should require drink-offerings, so that a sinner should not gain; why, then, are they not required? That his offering should not be luxurious. The sin-offering of a leper, however, and his trespass-offering do require drink-offerings because they are not due to sin. But that is not so; for, behold R. Samuel b. Nahmani said in the name of R. Jonathan: On account of seven faults does the plague of leprosy occur etc.!<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' Enumerated in 'Ar. 16a, v. Shebu. 8a.
