Core Text — Menachos 59a
״וְשַׂמְתָּ עָלֶיהָ לְבֹנָה״ — עָלֶיהָ לְבֹנָה וְלֹא עַל מִנְחַת נְסָכִים לְבֹנָה.

English: “And you shall place frankincense on it” — frankincense on it, and not frankincense on a libation-minchah.

In the sugya: The same restrictive language excludes the minchah that accompanies libations from receiving levonah.

Type of Learning

Miyut excluding nesachim minchah from levonah — a libation-minchah does not take frankincense.

What Is Learned

A minchah accompanying nesachim does not take levonah. The verse’s “on it” limits the frankincense to this form of offering and excludes the minchah that comes with the drink-offerings.
