Core Text — Menachos 20a
״עַל כָּל קָרְבָּנְךָ״ — מַה תַּלְמוּד לוֹמַר? שֶׁיָּכוֹל אֵין לִי אֶלָּא קֹמֶץ שֶׁצָּרִיךְ מֶלַח, מִנַּיִין לְרַבּוֹת אֶת הַלְּבוֹנָה הַבָּאָה בִּפְנֵי עַצְמָהּ וְהַבָּאָה בַּבְּזִיכִין?

English: “On all your offerings” — why is this said? One might have only the kometz requiring salt; from where to include frankincense that comes by itself and that comes in the bowls?

In the sugya: The broader language brings independent levonah under the salt requirement.

Type of Learning

Ribbuy of levonah for salt — frankincense offered alone or in the bowls is also salted.

What Is Learned

Levonah offered alone or in the bowls is also salted. The phrase “on all your offerings” expands the salt requirement beyond the kometz to the frankincense that accompanies or stands independently.
