קָרְבַּן מִנְחָה — מְלַמֵּד שֶׁמִּתְנַדְּבִין עֵצִים… וְכַמָּה שְׁנֵי גְזִירִין.

English: “A meal-offering” — this teaches that one may donate wood… and how much? Two logs.

On the daf / in context: Parallel to the oil derasha. The baraisa also cites Nechemyah’s “wood offering.” Minimum measure: two logs. The Gemara treats korban (in korban mincha) as authorizing component donations.

Type of Learning

Custom (same pattern as oil — component as independent korban).

What Is Learned

Wood may be donated as its own offering; the minimum is two logs.
