Core Text — Menachos 57a
״לֹא תֵעָשֶׂה חָמֵץ״ — לֹא תֵעָשֶׂה כְּלָל חָמֵץ.

English: “It shall not be made leavened” — it shall not be made leavened at all.

In the sugya: The absolute prohibition against preparing any minchah as chametz is the starting point of the chapter’s restrictions.

Type of Learning

Issur of chametz in minchah — no altar minchah may be prepared as leaven.

What Is Learned

No minchah for the altar may be prepared as chametz. The Torah’s command “it shall not be made leavened” establishes a blanket prohibition on leavening any flour offering that is brought to Hashem.
