.‫ לֹוקֵ חַ ע ְֶׁש ִרים עִ שָ רֹון סלֶת וְׁ עֹושֶ ה מֵ הֶ ם עֲשָ ָרה ע ְֶׁשרֹונִ ים חָ מֵ ץ ַועֲשָ ָרה מַ צָ ה‬.‫כֵיצַ ד הּוא הַ לֶחֶ ם שֶ מֵ בִ יא עִ ם הַ תֹודָ ה‬
:‫הָ עֲשָ ָרה שֶ ל חָ מֵ ץ עֹושֶ ה אֹותָ ם עֶשֶ ר חַ לֹות‬
What is meant by the bread that is brought together with the thanksgiving offering? One
should take 20 ʻesronim of fine flour. He should make ten ʻesronim leavened and ten
unleavened. The ten that are made leaven should be made into ten loaves.
9:18
‫ּוממַ לֵא אֶ ת הַ ִמדָ ה אַ ף עַל פִ י שֶ ּסֹופָּה לִ הְׁ יֹות חֲסֵ ָרה אֹו יְׁתֵ ָרה‬

How are they made leavened? He should bring enough yeast to cause the dough to leaven and
place it in the measure of a ʻisaron. He then fills the measure. Even though ultimately, [the
measure] will be lacking or excessive because of the yeast, for at times [the yeast] will be
thick and hard and at times it will be soft [and inflated], we are concerned only with its
measure at the present time. Hence he should measure full ʻesronim. From the ten ʻesronim
for the unleavened bread, he should make 30 loaves of the same size, ten of each [of the
following three] types: ten loaves baked in an oven, ten loaves of flat-cakes, and ten loaves of
fried cakes.
9:19
‫ כְׁ דֶ ֶרְך‬.‫רֹותחִ ין וְׁ אֹופֶה אֹותָ ּה ְׁמעַט וְׁ אַ חַ ר כְָך קֹולֶה אֹותָ ּה בְׁ שֶ מֶ ן עַל הָ ִאלְׁ ָפס וְׁ כַיֹוצֵ א בֹו‬

How are the fried cakes prepared? [The cakes] should be scalded with boiling water. Then
they should be baked slightly and then fried in oil in a roasting pot or the like, like doughnuts
and fried. A large amount of oil is used for them. This is the deep frying process mentioned in
all places.
9:20
.‫ ְׁרבִ יעִ ית ִממֶ נּו לִ ְׁרבּוכָה‬.‫ וְׁ ִשעּור זֶה ֲה ָלכָה לְׁ משֶ ה ִמ ִּסינַי‬.‫ בַ חֲצִ י לֹוג שֶ מֶ ן‬.‫ֹלשים חַ לֹות‬ִ ‫ּובְׁ כַמָ ה שֶ מֶ ן הּוא עֹושֶ ה הַ ְׁש‬

How much oil is used to prepare these 30 loaves? Half a log of oil. This measure is a halacha
communicated to Moses from Sinai. A fourth is used for the fried doughballs, an eighth for
the loaves [baked in the oven], and an eighth for the wafers.
9:21
‫מֹושחָ ן בַ ְׁש ִמינִ ית שֶ לָהֶ ן אַ חַ ר‬
ְׁ ‫ וְׁ הָ ְׁרקִ יקִ ין‬.‫ וְׁ אַ חַ ר כְָך לָש וְׁ אֹופֶה אֹותָ ן‬.‫הַ חַ לֹות לֹותֵ ת הַ ּסלֶת שֶ לָהֶ ן בִ ְׁש ִמינִ ית שֶ ל שֶ מֶ ן‬

With regard to the loaves [that are baked]: their flour should saturate in the eighth [of a log].
Afterwards, they should be kneaded and baked. The oil should be poured over the wafers
after they have been baked. The priest takes four loaves from the entire [mixture], one of each
type, as [Leviticus 7:14] states: "One from each [type], a sacrifice."
