###### Menachot 22b:1
[Menachot 22b:1](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Menachot/r/22b:1)

מִכָּאן לָעוֹלִין שֶׁאֵין מְבַטְּלִין זֶה אֶת זֶה, וְרַבִּי יְהוּדָה סָבַר: מִכָּאן לְמִין בְּמִינוֹ שֶׁאֵינוֹ בָּטֵל.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
**From here** it is learned **that** with regard to a mixture of items that **ascend** to the altar, e.g., the blood of the bull and the goat, the different components of the mixture **do not nullify one another. And Rabbi Yehuda holds: From here** it is learned **that** any **substance** in contact **with** the **same** type of **substance is not nullified.**


###### Menachot 22b:2
[Menachot 22b:2](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Menachot/r/22b:2)

רַבָּנַן סָבְרִי מִכָּאן לָעוֹלִין שֶׁאֵין מְבַטְּלִין זֶה אֶת זֶה, וְדִלְמָא מִשּׁוּם דְּמִין בְּמִינוֹ הוּא!

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
The Gemara examines Rabbi Yoḥanan’s explanation of the dispute between the Rabbis and Rabbi Yehuda. With regard to the first part of his explanation, that **the Rabbis hold: From here** it is learned **that** with regard to a mixture of items that **ascend** to the altar the different components of the mixture **do not nullify one another,** the Gemara suggests: **But perhaps** the blood of the goat is not nullified when mixed with the blood of the bull **due to** the fact **that it is a substance** in contact **with** the **same** type of **substance.**


###### Menachot 22b:3
[Menachot 22b:3](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Menachot/r/22b:3)

אִי אַשְׁמְעִינַן מִין בְּמִינוֹ, וְלָא אַשְׁמְעִינַן עוֹלִין, כִּדְקָא אָמְרַתְּ. הַשְׁתָּא דְּאַשְׁמְעִינַן עוֹלִין, מִשּׁוּם דְּעוֹלִין.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
The Gemara answers: **Had** the verse **taught us** this *halakha* by using an example of **a substance** in contact **with** the **same** type of **substance, and not taught us** a case of a mixture of items that **ascend** to the altar, the verse would be interpreted **as you said.** But **now that** the verse **taught us** this *halakha* through a case of a mixture of items that **ascend** to the altar, it is understood that the reason it is not nullified is **due to** the fact **that** it is part of a mixture of items that **ascend** to the altar, not because the substances are of the same type.


###### Menachot 22b:4
[Menachot 22b:4](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Menachot/r/22b:4)

וְדִלְמָא עַד דְּאִיכָּא מִין בְּמִינוֹ וְעוֹלִין? קַשְׁיָא.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
The Gemara suggests: **But perhaps** it is not nullified **until** both criteria **are** met, and unless the mixture is both **a substance** in contact **with** the **same** type of **substance and** a mixture of items that **ascend** to the altar, one nullifies the other. The Gemara concedes: This is **difficult.**


###### Menachot 22b:5
[Menachot 22b:5](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Menachot/r/22b:5)

וְרַבִּי יְהוּדָה סָבַר מִכָּאן לְמִין בְּמִינוֹ שֶׁאֵינוֹ בָּטֵל, וְדִלְמָא מִשּׁוּם דְּעוֹלִין הוּא!

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
With regard to the second part of Rabbi Yoḥanan’s explanation: **And Rabbi Yehuda holds: From here** it is learned **that** any **substance** in contact **with** the **same** type of **substance is not nullified,** the Gemara suggests: **But perhaps** the blood of the goat is not nullified when mixed with the blood of the bull **due to** the fact **that it is** a mixture of items that **ascend** to the altar.


###### Menachot 22b:6
[Menachot 22b:6](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Menachot/r/22b:6)

אִי אַשְׁמְעִינַן עוֹלִין מִין בְּשֶׁאֵינוֹ מִינוֹ – כִּדְקָאָמְרַתְּ, הַשְׁתָּא דְּאַשְׁמְעִינַן מִין בְּמִינוֹ – מִשּׁוּם דְּמִין בְּמִינוֹ הוּא.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
The Gemara answers: **Had** the verse **taught us** this *halakha* by using an example of a mixture of items that **ascend** to the altar where the **substance** is in contact **with a different** type of **substance,** the verse would be interpreted **as you say.** But **now that** the verse **taught us** this *halakha* in a case of **a substance** in contact **with** the **same** type of **substance,** it is understood that the reason it is not nullified is **due to** the fact **that it is a substance** in contact **with** the **same** type of **substance.**


###### Menachot 22b:7
[Menachot 22b:7](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Menachot/r/22b:7)

וְדִילְמָא עַד דְּאִיכָּא מִין בְּמִינוֹ וְעוֹלִין? קַשְׁיָא.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
The Gemara suggests: **But perhaps** it is not nullified **until** both criteria **are** met, and unless the mixture is both **a substance** in contact **with** the **same** type of **substance and** a mixture of items that **ascend** to the altar, one nullifies the other. The Gemara concedes: This is **difficult.**


###### Menachot 22b:8
[Menachot 22b:8](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Menachot/r/22b:8)

תְּנַן: רַבִּי יְהוּדָה אוֹמֵר: בְּמִנְחַת כֹּהֲנִים, בְּמִנְחַת כֹּהֵן מָשִׁיחַ, וּבְמִנְחַת נְסָכִים – פְּסוּלָה, שֶׁזּוֹ בְּלִילָתָהּ עָבָה וְזוֹ בְּלִילָתָהּ רַכָּה, וְהֵן בּוֹלְעוֹת זוֹ מִזּוֹ. וְכִי בּוֹלְעוֹת זוֹ מִזּוֹ מָה הָוֵי? מִין בְּמִינוֹ הוּא!

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
The Gemara raises another objection to the explanation of Rabbi Yoḥanan: **We learned** in the mishna here that **Rabbi Yehuda says:** If the handful was intermingled **with the meal offering of priests, with the meal offering of** the **anointed priest, or with the meal offering of libations,** the mixture is **unfit because** with regard to **this,** the handful from the standard meal offering, **its mixture is thick, and** with regard to **that,** the meal offering of the anointed priest and the meal offering of libations, **its mixture is loose. And** the mixtures, which are not identical, **absorb from each other,** invalidating both. The Gemara asks: **But when** the mixtures **absorb from each other, what of it?** This **is** a case of **a substance** in contact **with** the **same** type of **substance,** and therefore neither oil nullifies the other and both should be sacrificed on the altar.
