Core Text — Menachos 72b
״כַּרְמֶל תַּקְרִיב״ — תַּקְרִיב כָּל שֶׁהוּא; תַּקְרִיב מִכָּל מָקוֹם — אֲפִלּוּ בְּשַׁבָּת אֲפִלּוּ בְּטֻמְאָה.

English: “Karmel you shall offer” — offer any amount; offer from any place — even on Shabbos, even in impurity.

In the sugya: The command is read as permitting the omer under the special conditions of Shabbos and tumah when the calendar requires it.

Type of Learning

Ribbuy of quantity, place, and time — the omer proceeds even on Shabbos and in tumah when required.

What Is Learned

The omer proceeds even on Shabbos and in a state of tumah when required. The Torah’s “you shall offer” is taken to authorize the offering in every necessary circumstance of quantity, location, and calendar constraint.
