Core Text of Chazal

Core Text — Menachos 75a
״פָּתוֹת אֹתָהּ״ — אוֹתָהּ לְמַעֵט שְׁתֵּי הַלֶּחֶם וְלֶחֶם הַפָּנִים.

English: “Break it into pieces” — “it” excludes the two loaves and the showbread.

In the sugya: The restrictive pronoun limits the breaking requirement to ordinary menachos.

Type of Learning

Miyut from otah — petitah does not apply to the two loaves or the showbread.

What Is Learned

Petitah applies to ordinary minchah, not to the two loaves or lechem ha-panim. The word “it” is read as excluding the special bread offerings from the requirement of breaking into pieces.
