Core Text — Menachos 59a
״וְנָתַתָּ עָלֶיהָ שֶׁמֶן״ — עָלֶיהָ שֶׁמֶן וְלֹא עַל לֶחֶם הַפָּנִים שֶׁמֶן.

English: “And you shall put oil on it” — oil on it, and not oil on the showbread.

In the sugya: The restrictive “on it” excludes the showbread from receiving oil in the manner of this minchah.

Type of Learning

Miyut excluding lechem ha-panim from oil — showbread does not receive oil.

What Is Learned

Showbread does not receive oil as this minchah does. The verse’s language “on it” is read as limiting the oil application to the bikkurim/omer form and excluding the lechem ha-panim.
