Menahot 74: The Sinner's Grain-Offering
from Talking Talmud · host Yardaena Osband & Anne Gordon
A couple of addenda - about the grasshoppers as reapers of the field, and the impossibility of the 16th of Nisan falling out on Shabbat nowadays. Also - for the grain-offering brought by the "sinner" - with the details of what must be in place for this offering to count for the sinner's atonement. Also, 2 new mishnayot: 1 - grain-offerings that are completely burned on the altar, without the fistful of grain being taken off. All of these texts narrow the focus of these halakhot. 2 - The applications of oil for the grain-offerings, even when the offering is baked in an oven. Including "smearing" the oil on, in the form of a Greek letter.
