מזכיר לבונה he that burneth incense—comp. ⁴In his commentary on Leviticus 2:2, I. E. explains אזכרה memorial, that part of the offering which is to serve as a memorial of it before the Lord; he mentions, however, that many explain it, the part which was burnt upon the altar, and this opinion he seems to have adopted ultimately.

This is similar to the case in mishnah four where he offered most of a certain type of sacrifice inside the Temple, but left over an olive’s worth which he offered outside the Temple. Since this completes the offering, all agree that he is liable.
