Mishnah 1א׳

שְׁתֵּי מִדּוֹת שֶׁל יָבֵשׁ הָיוּ בַמִּקְדָּשׁ, עִשָּׂרוֹן, וַחֲצִי עִשָּׂרוֹן. רַבִּי מֵאִיר אוֹמֵר, עִשָּׂרוֹן, עִשָּׂרוֹן, וַחֲצִי עִשָּׂרוֹן. עִשָּׂרוֹן מֶה הָיָה מְשַׁמֵּשׁ, שֶׁבּוֹ הָיָה מוֹדֵד לְכָל הַמְּנָחוֹת. לֹא הָיָה מוֹדֵד, לֹא בְשֶׁל שְׁלשָׁה לְפַר, וְלֹא בְשֶׁל שְׁנַיִם לְאַיִל, אֶלָּא מוֹדְדָן עֶשְׂרוֹנוֹת. חֲצִי עִשָּׂרוֹן מֶה הָיָה מְשַׁמֵּשׁ, שֶׁבּוֹ הָיָה מוֹדֵד חֲבִתֵּי כֹהֵן גָּדוֹל, מֶחֱצָה בַּבֹּקֶר וּמֶחֱצָה בֵּין הָעַרְבָּיִם:

There were two measures in the Temple: the issaron [a specific measure of volume] and the half-issaron. Rabbi Meir says: the issaron, [another] issaron, and a half-issaron. For what purpose did the issaron measure serve? Using it he would measure all the grain offerings. He would not measure with a three-issaron measure for a bull or with a two-issaron measure for a ram, rather, rather they would measure by esronot. For what purpose did the half-issaron measure serve? Using it he would measure the griddlecakes of the high priest, half in the morning and the half towards evening.

Mishnah 2ב׳

שֶׁבַע מִדּוֹת שֶׁל לַח הָיוּ בַמִּקְדָּשׁ. הִין, וַחֲצִי הַהִין, וּשְׁלִישִׁית הַהִין, וּרְבִיעִית הַהִין, לֹג, וַחֲצִי לֹג, וּרְבִיעִית לֹג. רַבִּי אֱלִיעֶזֶר בַּר צָדוֹק אוֹמֵר, שְׁנָתוֹת הָיוּ בַהִין, עַד כָּאן לְפַר, עַד כָּאן לְאַיִל, עַד כָּאן לְכֶבֶשׂ. רַבִּי שִׁמְעוֹן אוֹמֵר, לֹא הָיָה שָׁם הִין, וְכִי מֶה הָיָה הַהִין מְשַׁמֵּשׁ. אֶלָּא מִדָּה יְתֵרָה שֶׁל לֹג וּמֶחֱצָה הָיְתָה, שֶׁבָּהּ הָיָה מוֹדֵד לְמִנְחַת כֹּהֵן גָּדוֹל, לֹג וּמֶחֱצָה בַּבֹּקֶר וְלֹג וּמֶחֱצָה בֵּין הָעַרְבָּיִם:

There were seven measuring vessels for liquids in the Temple: the hin [a specific measure of liquid volume], the half-hin, the third-hin, the quarter-hin, the log [a specific measure of liquid volume], the half-log, and the quarter-log. Rabbi Eliezer bar Zadok says: there were markings in the hin measure: thus far for a bull, thus far for a ram, and thus far for a lamb. Rabbi Shimon says: there was no hin measure at all, for what purpose could the hin serve? Rather there was an additional measure of one and a half log by which he would measure [the oil] for the grain offering of the high priest, a log and a half in the morning and a log and a half towards evening.

Mishnah 3ג׳

רְבִיעִית מֶה הָיְתָה מְשַׁמֶּשֶׁת. רְבִיעִית מַיִם לִמְצֹרָע, וּרְבִיעִית שֶׁמֶן לְנָזִיר. חֲצִי לֹג מֶה הָיָה מְשַׁמֵּשׁ. חֲצִי לֹג מַיִם לְסוֹטָה. וַחֲצִי לֹג שֶׁמֶן לְתוֹדָה. וּבַלֹּג הָיָה מוֹדֵד לְכָל הַמְּנָחוֹת. אֲפִלּוּ מִנְחָה שֶׁל שִׁשִּׁים עִשָּׂרוֹן, נוֹתֵן לָהּ שִׁשִּׁים לֹג. רַבִּי אֱלִיעֶזֶר בֶּן יַעֲקֹב אוֹמֵר, אֲפִלּוּ מִנְחָה שֶׁל שִׁשִּׁים עִשָּׂרוֹן, אֵין לָהּ אֶלָּא לֻגָּהּ, שֶׁנֶּאֱמַר (ויקרא יד), לְמִנְחָה וְלֹג שָׁמֶן. שִׁשָּׁה לְפַר, אַרְבָּעָה לְאַיִל, שְׁלשָׁה לְכֶבֶשׂ, שְׁלשָׁה וּמֶחֱצָה לַמְּנוֹרָה, מֵחֲצִי לֹג לְכָל נֵר:

For what purpose did the quarter-log serve? A quarter-log of water for the one with skin disease and a quarter-log of oil for the Nazirite. For what purpose did the half-log serve? A half-log of water for the sotah [suspected adultress subjected to a trial by ordeal through drinking the bitter waters]and a half-log of oil for the thanksgiving offering. With the log one measured [the oil] for all the grain offerings. Even a grain offering of sixty issaron required sixty log [of oil]. Rabbi Eliezer ben Yaakov says: even a grain offering of sixty tenths required only one log [of oil], for it is written, “For a grain offering, and a log of oil” (Leviticus 14:21). Six [log] for a bull, four for a ram, and three for a lamb, three a half for the candlestick, a half-log for each lamp.

Mishnah 4ד׳

מְעָרְבִין נִסְכֵּי אֵילִים בְּנִסְכֵּי פָרִים, נִסְכֵּי כְבָשִׂים בְּנִסְכֵּי כְבָשִׂים, שֶׁל יָחִיד בְּשֶׁל צִבּוּר, שֶׁל יוֹם בְּשֶׁל אָמֶשׁ. אֲבָל אֵין מְעָרְבִין נִסְכֵּי כְבָשִׂים בְּנִסְכֵּי פָרִים וְאֵילִים. וְאִם בְּלָלָן אֵלּוּ בִפְנֵי עַצְמָן וְאֵלּוּ בִפְנֵי עַצְמָן, וְנִתְעָרְבוּ, כְּשֵׁרִין. אִם עַד שֶׁלֹּא בָלַל, פָּסוּל. הַכֶּבֶשׂ הַבָּא עִם הָעֹמֶר, אַף עַל פִּי שֶׁמִּנְחָתוֹ כְפוּלָה, לֹא הָיוּ נְסָכָיו כְּפוּלִין:

One may mix the libations of bulls with the libations of rams, or the libations of lambs with the libations of other lambs, or those of an individual offering with those of a communal offering, or those of [an offering from] today with those of [an offering from] yesterday; but one may not mix the libations of lambs with the libations of bulls or of rams. And if they mixed these on their own, and they mixed these on their own, and then they were mixed, they are valid. But if before each was mixed [by itself they were mixed together], they are invalid. The lamb that was offered with the omer [the special barley offering, offered the day after Pesach, which permits grain harvested in the last year to be eaten], even if its grain offering was doubled, its libations were not doubled.
