Quotation for Chagigah 1:5

מִי שֶׁיֵּשׁ לוֹ אוֹכְלִים מְרֻבִּים וּנְכָסִים מֻעָטִים, מֵבִיא שְׁלָמִים מְרֻבִּים וְעוֹלוֹת מֻעָטוֹת. נְכָסִים מְרֻבִּים וְאוֹכְלִין מֻעָטִין, מֵבִיא עוֹלוֹת מְרֻבּוֹת וּשְׁלָמִים מֻעָטִין. זֶה וָזֶה מֻעָט, עַל זֶה נֶאֱמַר, מָעָה כֶסֶף וּשְׁתֵּי כָסֶף. זֶה וָזֶה מְרֻבִּים, עַל זֶה נֶאֱמַר (דברים טז) אִישׁ כְּמַתְּנַת יָדוֹ כְּבִרְכַּת יְיָ אֱלֹהֶיךָ אֲשֶׁר נָתַן לָךְ:

If one has many eaters [i.e., a large household] and little money, he brings many [festival] peace-offerings [according to the number of eaters], and few burnt-offerings. If he has much money and few eaters, he brings many burnt-offerings and few peace-offerings. If he has little of both, of this it is stated (1:2): "a ma'ah of silver, and two ma'ah of silver." If he has much of both, of this it is written (Deuteronomy 16:17): "…according to the blessing of the L rd your G d that He has given to you."
