Mishnah 1א׳

הַקּוֹמֵץ אֶת הַמִּנְחָה לֶאֱכֹל דָּבָר שֶׁאֵין דַּרְכּוֹ לֶאֱכֹל, לְהַקְטִיר דָּבָר שֶׁאֵין דַּרְכּוֹ לְהַקְטִיר, כָּשֵׁר. רַבִּי אֱלִיעֶזֶר פּוֹסֵל. לֶאֱכֹל דָּבָר שֶׁדַּרְכּוֹ לֶאֱכֹל, לְהַקְטִיר דָּבָר שֶׁדַּרְכּוֹ לְהַקְטִיר, פָּחוֹת מִכַּזַּיִת, כָּשֵׁר. לֶאֱכֹל כַּחֲצִי זַיִת וּלְהַקְטִיר כַּחֲצִי זַיִת, כָּשֵׁר, שֶׁאֵין אֲכִילָה וְהַקְטָרָה מִצְטָרְפִין:

If he took the handful from the grain offering intending to eat [outside its proper place or after its proper time] a part that it is not usual to eat or to burn [outside its proper place or after its proper time] a part that it is not usual to burn, [the offering] is valid. Rabbi Eliezer invalidates [it]. [If he intended] to eat less than an olive's bulk of a part that it is usual to eat, or to burn less than an olive's bulk of a part that it is usual to burn, [the offering] is valid. [If he intended] to eat a half an olive's bulk and to burn a half an olive’s bulk, [the offering] is valid, for eating and burning are not reckoned together.

Mishnah 2ב׳

לֹא יָצַק, לֹא בָלַל, לֹא פָתַת, לֹא מָלַח, לֹא הֵנִיף, לֹא הִגִּישׁ, אוֹ שֶׁפְּתָתָן פִּתִּים מְרֻבּוֹת, וְלֹא מְשָׁחָן, כְּשֵׁרוֹת. נִתְעָרֵב קֻמְצָהּ בְּקֹמֶץ חֲבֶרְתָּהּ, בְּמִנְחַת כֹּהֲנִים, בְּמִנְחַת כֹּהֵן הַמָּשִׁיחַ, בְּמִנְחַת נְסָכִין, כְּשֵׁרָה. רַבִּי יְהוּדָה אוֹמֵר, בְּמִנְחַת כֹּהֵן הַמָּשִׁיחַ וּבְמִנְחַת נְסָכִין, פְּסוּלָה, שֶׁזּוֹ בְּלִילָתָהּ עָבָה, וְזוֹ בְּלִילָתָהּ רַכָּה, וְהֵן בּוֹלְעוֹת זוֹ מִזּוֹ:

If he did not pour in [the oil], or if he did not mix it, or if he did not break up [the grain offering] into pieces, or if he did not salt it, or wave it, or if he did not bring it near [the altar], or if he broke it up into large pieces, or if he did not anoint [with oil those types requiring anointing], it is valid. If the handful of one grain offering was mixed with the handful of another, or with a priest’s grain offering, or with the grain offering of the anointed [high] priest, or with the grain offering [offered with] the libations, it is valid. Rabbi Judah says: if [it was mixed] with the grain offering of the anointed [high] priest or with the grain offering [offered with] libations, it is invalid, for since the consistency of the one is thick and the consistency of the other is thin, each absorbs from the other.

Mishnah 3ג׳

שְׁתֵּי מְנָחוֹת שֶׁלֹּא נִקְמְצוּ, וְנִתְעָרְבוּ זוֹ בָזוֹ, אִם יָכוֹל לִקְמֹץ מִזּוֹ בִּפְנֵי עַצְמָהּ וּמִזּוֹ בִּפְנֵי עַצְמָהּ, כְּשֵׁרוֹת. וְאִם לָאו, פְּסוּלוֹת. הַקֹּמֶץ שֶׁנִּתְעָרֵב בְּמִנְחָה שֶׁלֹּא נִקְמְצָה, לֹא יַקְטִיר. וְאִם הִקְטִיר, זוֹ שֶׁנִּקְמְצָה, עָלְתָה לַבְּעָלִים, וְזוֹ שֶׁלֹּא נִקְמְצָה, לֹא עָלְתָה לַבְּעָלִים. נִתְעָרֵב קֻמְצָהּ בִּשְׁיָרֶיהָ אוֹ בִשְׁיָרֶיהָ שֶׁל חֲבֶרְתָּהּ, לֹא יַקְטִיר. וְאִם הִקְטִיר, עָלְתָה לַבְּעָלִים. נִטְמָא הַקֹּמֶץ וְהִקְרִיבוֹ, הַצִּיץ מְרַצֶּה. יָצָא וְהִקְרִיבוֹ, אֵין הַצִּיץ מְרַצֶּה, שֶׁהַצִּיץ מְרַצֶּה עַל הַטָּמֵא, וְאֵינוֹ מְרַצֶּה עַל הַיּוֹצֵא:

Two grain offerings from which the handfuls had not yet been taken out were mixed together: If it is still possible to take the handful from each separately, they are valid; If not, they are invalid. If the handful [of a grain offering] was mixed with a grain offering from which the fistful had not yet been taken, he must not burn it. If he did burn it, then the grain offering from which the handful had been taken fulfills the owner's obligation while the other from which the handful had not been taken does not fulfill the owner's obligation. If the handful was mixed with the remainder of the grain offering or with the remainder of another grain offering, it must not be burned; If he did burn it does fulfill the owner's obligation. If the handful had become unclean and yet he offered it, the forehead plate [worn by the High Priest] renders it acceptable, But if it went out [of the Temple Court] and afterwards he offered it, the forehead plate does not render it acceptable. For the forehead plate renders acceptable only an offering which was unclean but not that which was taken out.

Mishnah 4ד׳

נִטְמְאוּ שְׁיָרֶיהָ, נִשְׂרְפוּ שְׁיָרֶיהָ, אָבְדוּ שְׁיָרֶיהָ, כְּמִדַּת רַבִּי אֱלִיעֶזֶר, כְּשֵׁרָה. וּכְמִדַּת רַבִּי יְהוֹשֻׁעַ, פְּסוּלָה. שֶׁלֹּא בִכְלִי שָׁרֵת, פְּסוּלָה. רַבִּי שִׁמְעוֹן מַכְשִׁיר. הִקְטִיר קֻמְצָהּ פַּעֲמַיִם, כְּשֵׁרָה:

If the remainder of the grain offering became unclean or was burnt or lost: According to the rule of Rabbi Eliezer it is valid; according to the rule of Rabbi Joshua it is invalid. If [he did] not [put the handful] into a ministering vessel it is invalid; Rabbi Shimon declares it valid. If he burnt the handful twice [i.e., in two batches], it is valid.
