only if it is of the size of your dough;<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' Need the dough-offering be set apart.');">¹</span> and what is the size of your dough? That of the dough of the wilderness.

דכתיב (שמות טז, לו) והעומר עשירית האיפה הוא מכאן אמרו ז' רבעים קמח ועוד חייבת בחלה שהן ו' של ירושלמית שהן ה' של ציפורי

And what was the size of the dough of the wilderness? The one which is described: Now an omer is the tenth part of an ephah,<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' Ex. XVI, 36.');">²</span> from which it has been deduced<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' Since an 'omer is a tenth part of an ephah which (cf. Men. 77a) equals three se'ah, an 'omer = 3/10 se'ah = 3 X 6/10 kab = 3 X 6 X 4/10 log = 36/5 = 7 1/5 log = (since a log = 6 eggs) 7 log and 1 1/5 of an egg.');">³</span>

מכאן אמרו האוכל כמדה זו ה"ז בריא ומבורך יתר על כן רעבתן פחות מכאן מקולקל במעיו:

[that dough made of a quantity of] flour of seven quarters [of a kab]<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' Corresponding to seven log.');">⁴</span> and a fraction<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' Sc. 1 1/5 of an egg (cf. n. 4) .');">⁵</span> is liable to the dough-offering.

<big><strong>מתני׳</strong></big> אנשי חצר ואנשי מרפסת ששכחו ולא עירבו כל שגבוה י' טפחים למרפסת פחות מכאן לחצר

This [quantity] is equal to six Jerusalem kab or five of the Sepphoris kab. From this it has been inferred<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' Since the quantity mentioned represents the usual size of dough consumed by a person in twenty-four hours (cf. Ex. VI, 16, 18ff) .');">⁶</span> that if a person consumes such a quantity of food<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' In twenty-four hours (cf. prev. n.) .');">⁷</span>
