ז נקצר ביום כשר ודוחה את השבת: מאן שמעת ליה דאמר נקצר ביום כשר רבי וקתני ודוחה את השבת מאי לאו קצירה לא להקרבה
7 AND THE REMAINDER IS FOR THE PRIESTS. Whence do we know this? - Whence? [you ask,] but surely where it is expressly stated it is expressly stated, and where it is not expressly stated there is the verse, And this is the law of the meal-offering: the sons of Aaron shall offer it... and that which is left thereof shall Aaron and his sons eat! - With regard to those which are brought from wheat I have no doubt, I only ask it with regard to those brought from barley. But even with regard to those brought from barley, surely [it is obvious that] the remainder is for the priests, since the handful is taken from them? According to the view of the Rabbis I have no doubt, I only ask it according to the view of R. Simeon who maintains that there is a meal-offering from which the handful must be taken and yet [the remainder] may not be eaten, for we have learnt: R. SIMEON SAYS, FROM THE SINNER'S MEAL-OFFERING BROUGHT BY PRIESTS THE HANDFUL IS TAKEN, AND THE HANDFUL IS OFFERED BY ITSELF AND SO ALSO THE REMAINDER IS OFFERED BY ITSELF. Whence then do we know it? - Hezekiah said, From the verse, And every meal-offering, mingled with oil, or dry, shall all the sons of Aaron have. And if this verse serves no purpose for meal-offerings of wheat mingled With oil it should be applied to meal-offerings of barley mingled with oil, and so, too, if this verse serves no purpose for dry meal-offerings of wheat it should be applied to dry meal-offerings of barley. But does this [verse] serve this purpose? Surely it is required for the following which was taught: How do we know that meal-offerings may not be set off against animal-offerings?
