מנחות פרק ג׳ משנה א׳
In the case of one who removes a handful from the meal offering with the intent to consume, beyond its designated time, an item whose typical manner is such that one does not consume it, i.e., the handful, or to burn, beyond its designated time, an item whose typical manner is such that one does not burn it on the altar, i.e., the remainder of the meal offering, the meal offering is fit. Rabbi Eliezer deems it unfit, although it is not piggul, and consuming it is therefore not punishable by excision from the World-to-Come [karet]. In the case of one who removes a handful from the meal offering with the intent to consume, beyond its designated time, an item whose typical manner is such that one does consume it, or to burn, beyond its designated time, an item whose typical manner is such that one does burn it on the altar, but his intent was to consume or burn improperly less than an olive-bulk, the offering is fit. If his intent was both to consume half an olive-bulk and to burn half an olive-bulk beyond its designated time, the meal offering is nevertheless fit, because eating and burning do not join together.

הקומץ את המנחה לאכול. חוץ לזמנו:
דבר שאין דרכו לאכול. כגון הקומץ והלבונה:
ולהקטיר. חוץ לזמנו:
דבר שאין דרכו להקטיר. השיריים שדרכן לאכול ואין דרכן להקטיר:
כשר. דאין זו חשובה מחשבה, דבטלה דעתו אצל כל אדם:
רבי אליעזר פוסל. דכתיב (ויקרא ז׳:י״ח) ואם האכול יאכל מבשר זבח שלמיו, בשתי אכילות הכתוב מדבר, אחת אכילת אדם ואחת אכילת מזבח, לומר לך כשם שפוסלת אכילת אדם לאדם כגון שיריים אם חשב עליהם לאדם לאכלם חוץ לזמנו, ואכילת מזבח למזבח כגון קומץ אם חשב עליו להקטירו שלא בזמנו, כך פוסלת מחשבת אכילת אדם כגון שיריים אם חשב עליהם למזבח להקטירן חוץ לזמנן, מדאפקינהו רחמנא לתרווייהו בלשון אכילה שמע מינה כי הדדי נינהו, ומחשבים מזו לזו. ורבנן סברי, להכי אפקה רחמנא להקטרה בלשון אכילה, לומר לך מה אכילה בכזית אף מחשבת הקטרה בכזית. ולעולם אכילה כאורחיה משמע, קומץ למזבח ושיריים לאדם. והלכה כחכמים:
הקומץ את המנחה לאכול – outside of its appropriate time period.
דבר שאין דרכו לאכול – as for example, the handful of meal-offering and the frankincense.
ולהקטיר – outside of its appropriate time period.
דבר שאין דרכו להקטיר – the residue/remnants are accustomed to be consumed but are not accustomed to be offered as incense upon the altar.
כשר – that this is not considered thought/intention, for he has rescinded his thought regarding all people.
רבי אליעזר פוסל – as it is written (Leviticus 7:18): “If any of the flesh of his sacrifice is eaten [on the third day, it shall not be acceptable],” Scripture speaks of two consumptions (i.e., האכל יאכל), one is the consumption of a human being and one is the consumption of the altar, to tell you that just as the consumption of a human being invalidates it for a person, as for example, residue/remnants if a person thought of consuming them outside of the appropriate time, and the consumption of the altar for the altar, as for example, a handful of meal-offering, if he considered/intended to offer it up on the altar not at its appropriate time, such his intention/thought invalidates the consumption of a human being if he thought about them regarding the altar to offer them up outside of their appropriate time, since the All-Merciful excluded both of them in the language of “eating,” we learn from this that they are the same, and we account from this one (i.e., food from sacrifices) to that one (i.e., “food” for the altar). But the Rabbis hold, that for thus, the All-Merciful excluded for burning on the altar in the language of “consuming/eating”, to tell you that just as eating is an olive’s bulk, so also consideration of burning on the altar is an olive’s bulk. But always, “eating” is in its manner is implied, the taking of a handful of meal-offering to the altar and the residue/remnants is for a person [for consumption]. And the Halakha is according to the Sages.
