English: “His full handful” — this teaches that one must not make a fixed measure for the kometz.
In the sugya: The requirement of a “full handful” precludes the use of a calibrated vessel or scoop in place of the hand.
Type of Learning
Miyut against a measuring vessel for kemitzah — the act must be by the natural hand, not by a fixed measure.
What Is Learned
Kemitzah is by the hand’s natural capacity, not by a calibrated scoop. The Torah’s insistence on “his full handful” teaches that one may not substitute a measuring vessel for the kohen’s own hand.
