Mishnah 1א׳

הַתּוֹדָה הָיְתָה בָאָה חָמֵשׁ סְאִין יְרוּשַׁלְמִיּוֹת, שֶׁהֵן שֵׁשׁ מִדְבָּרִיּוֹת, שְׁתֵּי אֵיפוֹת, הָאֵיפָה שָׁלשׁ סְאִין, עֶשְׂרִים עִשָּׂרוֹן, עֲשָׂרָה לֶחָמֵץ וַעֲשָׂרָה לַמַּצָּה. עֲשָׂרָה לֶחָמֵץ, עִשָּׂרוֹן לְחַלָּה. וַעֲשָׂרָה לַמַּצָּה, וּבַמַּצָּה שְׁלשָׁה מִינִין, חַלּוֹת וּרְקִיקִים וּרְבוּכָה. נִמְצְאוּ שְׁלשָׁה עֶשְׂרוֹנוֹת וּשְׁלִישׁ לְכָל מִין, שָׁלשׁ חַלּוֹת לְעִשָּׂרוֹן. בְּמִדָּה יְרוּשַׁלְמִית הָיוּ שְׁלשִׁים קַב, חֲמִשָּׁה עָשָׂר לֶחָמֵץ, וַחֲמִשָּׁה עָשָׂר לַמַּצָּה. חֲמִשָּׁה עָשָׂר לֶחָמֵץ, קַב וָחֵצִי לְחַלָּה. וַחֲמִשָּׁה עָשָׂר לַמַּצָּה, וְהַמַּצָּה שְׁלשָׁה מִינִין, חַלּוֹת וּרְקִיקִים וּרְבוּכָה, נִמְצְאוּ חֲמֵשֶׁת קַבִּים לְכָל מִין, שְׁתֵּי חַלּוֹת לְקָב:

The thanksgiving offering was brought from five se'im [specific unit of volume] of flour of the Jerusalem measure, which is six se'im of the desert measure. [This was equivalent to] two eifot [specific unit of volume, each] eifah is three se'im [and two eifot are also equal to] twenty issaron, ten of which for leavened bread and ten for unleavened bread. Ten for the leavened [meant that] each loaf [was made from] a whole issaron [of flour]. The ten for the unleavened bread - and in the unleavened bread [there were] three varieties: loaves, wafers and deep-fried dumplings - therefore there were three and a third issaron for each variety, three loaves for every issaron. In the Jerusalem measures it was thirty kav [particular unit of volume], fifteen for the leavened and fifteen for the unleavened. Fifteen for the leavened [meant that] each loaf [was made from] one and a half kav. Fifteen for the unleavened bread - and in the unleavened bread [there were] three varieties: loaves, wafers and deep-fried dumpling - therefore there were five kav for each variety, two loaves for every kav.

Mishnah 2ב׳

הַמִּלּוּאִים הָיוּ בָאִים כַּמַּצָּה שֶׁבַּתּוֹדָה, חַלּוֹת וּרְקִיקִים וּרְבוּכָה. הַנְּזִירוּת הָיְתָה בָאָה שְׁתֵּי יָדוֹת בַּמַּצָּה שֶׁבַּתּוֹדָה, חַלּוֹת וּרְקִיקִים, וְאֵין בָּהּ רְבוּכָה, נִמְצְאוּ עֲשָׂרָה קַבִּים יְרוּשַׁלְמִיּוֹת, שֶׁהֵן שִׁשָּׁה עֶשְׂרוֹנוֹת וַעֲדוּיָן. וּמִכֻּלָּן הָיָה נוֹטֵל אֶחָד מֵעֲשָׂרָה תְּרוּמָה, שֶׁנֶּאֱמַר (ויקרא ז), וְהִקְרִיב מִמֶּנּוּ אֶחָד מִכָּל קָרְבָּן תְּרוּמָה לַה'. אֶחָד, שֶׁלֹּא יִטֹּל פָּרוּס. מִכָּל קָרְבָּן, שֶׁיְּהוּ כָל הַקָּרְבָּנוֹת שָׁוִין, וְשֶׁלֹּא יִטֹּל מִקָּרְבָּן לַחֲבֵרוֹ. לַכֹּהֵן הַזֹּרֵק אֶת דַּם הַשְּׁלָמִים לוֹ יִהְיֶה, וְהַשְּׁאָר נֶאֱכָל לַבְּעָלִים:

[The grain-offering at] the dedication [of the Temple] consisted of [various kinds of] unleavened breads, like those [brought as part] of the thanksgiving-offering; [namely] loaves, wafers, and oily bread. [The grain-offering of] the Nazirite consisted of two parts of the [various kinds of ] unleavened breads [brought as part] of the thanksgiving –offering; namely loaves and wafers. But not oily bread; thus there were ten kavby the Jerusalem measure, which is a little over six esronot. From each one [of the unleavened breads brought with the Thanksgiving offering the priest] would take one tenth as an offering [for the officiating priest], as it states (Leviticus 7:14) "And he shall bring from it one out of each offering, as a separation for the Lord;" [The word] "One" [tenth, indicates a whole loaf so] that one may not take a slice [or piece of bread as gift for the priest]. [The phrase] "From each one" [indicates] that all the offerings should be equal [in measure] and that one may not take [the officiating priest's share] out of one offering on behalf of another [that has less]. "to the officiating priest who sprinkles the blood of the peace-offering" [indicates that] the rest [of the offering] is eaten by the owner.
