English: From kemitzah onward is the commandment of the kehunah; this teaches that pouring and mixing are valid by a zar.
In the sugya: The verse begins the kohen-only stage at kemitzah, leaving the earlier acts of pouring and mixing open to a non-kohen.
Type of Learning
Miyut of kohen-only from kemitzah forward — earlier stages remain valid when performed by a zar.
What Is Learned
Yetzikah and belilah may be done by a non-kohen; kemitzah and everything after it are reserved for the kehunah. The Torah’s placement of the kohen requirement at the handful teaches that the prior steps of pouring oil and mixing are valid even when performed by a zar.
