English: “And they shall smoke it” (3:5) — what is kasher, and not what is pasul; “and he shall smoke” (3:11) — one does not mix the fats of one offering with the fats of another; “and he shall smoke them” (3:16) — all at the same time. It is written here “a fire-offering” but not “bread”; further “bread” but not “a pleasing aroma”; and further “a pleasing aroma” but not “to Hashem” — to teach that each phrase completes the others.
In Sifra: The three slightly different smoking verbs and the distributed titles (isheh / lechem / reiach nichoach / laHashem) are not stylistic accidents. They bar mixing fats across offerings, require simultaneous smoking of a set, and teach that only valid emurim go up.
Type of Learning
Custom (procedural precision from parallel wording) / gezera shava of “isheh…isheh…isheh”.
What Is Learned
Shelamim fats must be valid, unmixed with another offering’s fats, and smoked together; the Torah’s varied labels jointly define the altar’s “bread.”
