Core Text
מִסָּלְתָּהּ — הָעִשָּׂרוֹן סֹלֶת מְעוּטוֹ מְעַכֵּב אֶת רֻבּוֹ… וּמִשַּׁמְנָהּ — הַשֶּׁמֶן מְעוּטוֹ מְעַכֵּב… עַל כָּל־לְבֹנָתָהּ — הַקֹּמֶץ וְהַלְּבוֹנָה מְעַכְּבִין זֶה אֶת זֶה.
English: “From its fine flour” — even a shortfall in the issaron of flour invalidates… “and from its oil” — even a shortfall of oil invalidates… “with all its frankincense” — kometz and levonah are interdependent.
On the daf / in context: Same mishnah/gemara as the kometz rule. Extra hei on misaltah / umishamnah and the pairing with 6:8 on levonah teach that flour, oil, and frankincense must each be complete and that kometz and levonah depend on each other.
Type of Learning
R’ Eliezer #2 (מיעוט) / repetition — shortfall of any component invalidates.
What Is Learned
Fine flour, oil, and frankincense must each be whole; kometz and levonah each require the other.
