מנחות 58:2 — Soncino English Talmud

and that the burning of a quantity less than an olive's bulk counts as an offering; whereas Raba maintains that the handful may not be less than two olives’ bulk and that the burning of a quantity less than an olive's bulk does not count as an offering. It was stated: If a man offered leaven and honey upon the altar, he has incurred stripes, said Raba, once for offering leaven, again for offering honey, again for offering leaven in a mixture, and yet again for offering honey in a mixture. But Abaye said, He does not suffer stripes for the breach of a negative precept which includes a number of prohibitions. Some say that he suffers stripes but once; but others say that he does not suffer stripes at all, since the negative precept is not as specific as that of ‘muzzling’.6^ᵃ^ᵇ^ᶜ^ᵈ^ᵉ^ᶠ

^ᵃnote:Hence one is liable for burning a half-olive's bulk of leaven upon the altar.
^ᵇnote:In one mixture (Rashi). According to Tosaf. he offered some leaven, some honey, and a mixture of leaven and honey. Hence he suffers stripes four times.
^ᶜnote:Accordingly he does not suffer stripes for offering the mixture, since the negative precept of the mixture (implied in the term ‘for any’ v. supra) includes prohibitions for the mixture of leaven and the mixture of honey. V. Tosaf. s.v. vkgnv and iht.
^ᵈnote:For the inclusive negative precept. In the case in question, therefore, he would suffer stripes three times, once for offering the leaven, again for the honey, and a third time for the mixtures.
^ᵉnote:For the inclusive negative precept; so that he would suffer stripes but twice.
^ᶠnote:Sc. the ox when treading the corn, Deut. XXV, 4. This is given as an example of a specific negative precept because it follows immediately upon the law concerning stripes, Deut. XXV, 1ff.
