פֿאַרבונדענע פּסוקים אויף ויקרא 24:7

Everybody agrees that “on it” means “in contact”. Where do they disagree? About “on”. ¹⁶This refers to Mishnah Menaḥot 11:5, Babli Menaḥot 97a, about the placement of incense on the table with the shew-bread. The verse says (Lev. 24:7): Put pure incense on the array(מַעֲרֶכֶת not מַעֲרָכָה). Abba Shaul says nearby, the rabbis say on top. Abba Shaul says, on the array, near the array. But the rabbis say, on the array, on top of the array. It turns out that Abba Shaul parallels Rebbi Aqiba, and the rabbis Rebbi Yose the Galilean¹⁷Since R. Aqiba requires the innards to bu hung outside, i. e. nearby.. Rebbi says, even if he made them two arrangements of fourteen, one considers the upper one as nonexistent and the lower ones are qualified¹⁸There are twelve shew-breads. If one made two too many, 7 to a row instead of 6, the additional two can be disregarded and the incense put on top, since we do not read “on” to imply touching.. Rebbi Yose ben Rebbi Abun in the name of Rebbi Joḥanan: Rebbi and Abba Shaul use in the method of Rebbi Meïr for the table¹⁹Mishnah Menaḥot 11:5 The table in the Tabernacle was 2 cubits long. According to R. Jehudah, the cubit was 5 hand-breadths, according to R. Meïr 6 hand-breadths. Six shew-breads in one row took up 10 handbreadths. This leaves 2 hand-breadths space where according to Abba Shaul the incense was placed, and according to Rebbi another bread could be placed.
The argument shows that the text of the Leiden ms. is correct, attributing the statement about the shew-bread to Rebbi, against the reading of K which attributes it to R. Yose the Galilean..

“Incense”, he may not give less than for a fistful. It is said here “remembrance” and it is said there, “remembrance”¹⁶⁰“Here” means the rules of voluntary flour offerings, described in Lev. Chapter 2. “There” means either the rules of the shew bread, Lev. 24:7 or that of the obligatory flour offering of the poor sinner, Lev. 5:12. In the first case, there are two rows of bread, each one with a portion of incense which at the end has to be entirely burned on the altar. In the second case, it is stressed that the entire fistful has to be burned. In both cases it can be inferred that for voluntary flour offerings, where “entire” is not mentioned, only an entire fistful is qualified.. Since “remembrance” there means a full fistful, so “remembrance” here must mean a full fistful. Since “remembrance” there means two fistfuls¹⁶¹This can apply only to the shew bread., does “remembrance” here mean two fistfuls? Rebbi La said, they inferred fistfuls only from the shew bread¹⁶²In B: From the poor sinner’s flour offering.. Since there a deficient fistful is disqualified, also here a deficient fistful is disqualified. Rebbi Yose said, the word of Rebbi Ila implies that one who volunteers a flour offering brings it according to the High Priest’s¹⁶³It seems that one refers not to a High Priest, but to a large priest, whose fistful can be enormous. Since the donor does not know which Cohen will present his offering to the altar, he must prepare for the largest possible fistful. fistful. Rebbi Ḥizqiah in the name of Rebbi Jeremiah: even according to the owner’s fistful.
