Core Text — Nedarim 10b
תָּנֵי, רַבִּי שִׁמְעוֹן אוֹמֵר: מִנַּיִין שֶׁלֹּא יֹאמַר אָדָם לַה' עוֹלָה, לַה' מִנְחָה, לַה' תּוֹדָה, לַה' שְׁלָמִים, אֶלָּא עוֹלָה לַה', מִנְחָה לַה', תּוֹדָה לַה', שְׁלָמִים לַה'?
תַּלְמוּד לוֹמַר: קָרְבָּן לַה'.

English: It was taught: Rabbi Shimon says: From where do we know that a person should not say “to Hashem — an olah,” “to Hashem — a mincha,” “to Hashem — a todah,” “to Hashem — shelamim,” but rather “an olah to Hashem,” “a mincha to Hashem,” “a todah to Hashem,” “shelamim to Hashem”? As it is stated: “an offering to Hashem.”

Type of Learning

Custom (order of the words) — the sequence in the passuk teaches the proper verbal order when designating an offering (korban before the Divine Name).

What Is Learned

When stating an offering one should name the korban first and the Divine Name second, following the order in the passuk (“korban la-Hashem”), so that the Name is not uttered before the offering is specified.
