Talmud for Menachot 5:2

כָּל הַמְּנָחוֹת נִלּוֹשׁוֹת בְּפוֹשְׁרִין, וּמְשַׁמְּרָן שֶׁלֹּא יַחֲמִיצוּ. וְאִם הֶחֱמִיצוּ שְׁיָרֶיהָ, עוֹבֵר בְּלֹא תַעֲשֶׂה, שֶׁנֶּאֱמַר (ויקרא ב), כָּל הַמִּנְחָה אֲשֶׁר תַּקְרִיבוּ לַה' לֹא תֵעָשֶׂה חָמֵץ. וְחַיָּבִים עַל לִישָׁתָהּ, וְעַל עֲרִיכָתָהּ, וְעַל אֲפִיָּתָהּ:

All grain offerings must be kneaded with lukewarm water. He must guard them lest they become leavened. If the remainder became leavened he has transgressed a negative commandment, for it is written, “No grain offering which you shall bring to the Lord shall be made leavened” (Leviticus 2:11). One is liable for the kneading, and for rolling and for baking [if he performed these after it became leavened].

Jerusalem Talmud Shabbat

“And who grinds.” He who pulverizes salt, clay shards, peppers, is liable because of grinding. He who cuts into little pieces chalk, gypsum343Greek γύψος, ἡ., chaff, sand, dirt, is liable because of sifting. He who kneads chalk, gypsum, dust, eye-salve344Greek κολλύριον, τό., plaster345Greek μάλαγμα, -ατος, τό., drugs, is liable because of making dough. One who makes dough, or kneads dough, or forms dough, all are because of making dough. Rebbi Abba bar Mamal asked, there346Mishnah Menaḥot 5:2. The shew bread has to be unleavened. Violating this rule at any stage of the preparation of the bread is a separate biblical violation for each stage. you say, “and he is liable for making its dough, and for its forming, and for its baking,” and here you are saying so? But there he has to divide for he is liable for each single one, but here347For the rules of the Sabbath, kneading the dough and forming it into the required shape count only as one liability. he is liable only once. You see that baking is a derivative of cooking, and you are saying so? But it was stated here since we are stating the order of the dough348In Mishnah 2, one would have expected “cooking” to be listed as the name of the category; for it is the more widely applicable notion, and baking as derivative. But since the Mishnah is organized in describing the making of the shew-bread (Note 4) the category of cooking is labelled “baking”. Babli 74b..

Jerusalem Talmud Pesachim

279Tosephta 3:5; Babli 36a, Menaḥot52a.“One does not knead mazzah with fluids272Neither water (which is explicitly for bidden by the verse) nor fruit juice. but one may rub it with them. Rebbi Aqiba said, I was with Rebbi Eliezer and Rebbi Joshua on a ship and kneaded their mazzah with fluids. One may not knead mazzah with boiling water since it parboils260Bran, the outer shell of wheat kernels, also may become leavened. Since leavened matter is forbidden for usufruct, it also is forbidden as animal feed. It is assumed that the bran becomes inert if parboiled in boiling water., nor with lukewarm water because this makes leavened, but one kneads with cold water.” But did we not state280Mishnah Menaḥot5:2, speaking of the flour offerings in the Temple where leavening is forbidden (Lev.2:11).: “All flour offerings are kneaded with lukewarm water and one guards them lest they become leavened”? Rebbi Immi in the name of Rebbi Simeon ben Laqish: There the matter is in the hands of the Cohanim and Cohanim are quick; here it is in the hands of women and women are slow. Then it is a problem about Cohanim themselves, may they knead their mazzah with lukewarm water? 281Chapter 1:1 Notes 37–38. Here the corrector’s additions are justified by G. It should be parallel to what Rebbi Zachariah the son-in-law of Rebbi Levi stated: A menstruating woman washes her hair and combs. A priestly woman does not wash her hair and combs. A menstruating priestly woman washes her hair and combs, not to differentiate between one menstruating woman and another. So also here, not to differentiate between mazzah and mazzah.
