אמר רבא קסבר רבי יהודה כל שהוא מין במינו ודבר אחר סלק את מינו כמי שאינו ושאינו מינו רבה עליו ומבטלו:

Raba answered, R'Judah is of the opinion that where an element is mixed with like kind and also with another kind, you must disregard the like kind as if it were not there, and the other kind, if more in quantity, will neutralize [the element].<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' The case dealt with by R. Judah in our Mishnah is where the handful, which is made up of oil and flour, was mixed with one of the meal-offerings mentioned, which also contains oil. Now the oil in the handful is disregarded, so that the flour of the handful will neutralize the oil of the other meal-offering which it has absorbed, with the result that the handful has had too much oil and is therefore invalid.');"><sup>1</sup></span> It was reported: If [the priest] poured oil on the handful taken from the sinner's meal-offering, R'Johanan maintains it is invalid; but Resh Lakish says, He should in the first instance wipe up with it the remains of the log of oil and then offer it.<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' It is the proper thing, maintains Resh Lakish, to scrape up with the handful of the sinner's meal-offering any oil that may be found remaining in the log measure which had been used for some other meal-offering. Accordingly if he actually poured some oil on the handful it is certainly valid.');"><sup>2</sup></span>

Shulchan Arukh, Yoreh De'ah

If it is was mixed with something of the same type and it was spilled, in a case where one can not deal with it to measure it, if it is known that it was majority permissible, [it is] permissible. And if it is not known that it was majority permissible, [it is] forbidden. Rema: And in the matter of "being of the same type" we follow the name, if it is the same then this is "of the same type," but we do not follow the taste if it is the same or not. But if was mixed with something that is not of the same type and it spilled in a case where one can not deal with it to measure it, even it is known that it was majority permissible, [it is] forbidden. And if it was mixed with "of its kind" and with "not of its kind" and it spilled in a case where one can not deal with it to measure it, and it is known that it was majority "of its kind", one views the "not of its kind" as though it were not [present], and the rest, "of its kind" is greater and negates it.
