Halakhah sur Menachot 6:6
הָעֹמֶר הָיָה בָא עִשָּׂרוֹן מִשָּׁלשׁ סְאִין. שְׁתֵּי הַלֶּחֶם, שְׁנֵי עֶשְׂרוֹנִים מִשָּׁלשׁ סְאִין. לֶחֶם הַפָּנִים, עֶשְׂרִים וְאַרְבָּעָה עֶשְׂרוֹנִים מֵעֶשְׂרִים וְאַרְבַּע סְאִין:
L' omer consistait en un dixième [d'une mesure d'épha de farine] prélevé sur trois se'im [mesure particulière de volume]. Les deux pains - deux dixièmes prélevés sur trois se'im . Et le pain de proposition - vingt-quatre dixièmes prélevés sur vingt-quatre se'im .
Gray Matter II
Rav Kalischer (Drishat Tzion, Ma’amar Kadishin 3) argues that we could make bigdei kehunah without techeilet, just as, in the absence of techeilet, we wear tzitzit with white strings only (Menachot 38a). Most authorities reject his position, noting that the Tosefta (Menachot 6:6) explicitly states that bigdei kehunah cannot be made without techeilet. Moreover, the bigdei kehunah contain sha’atnez (a prohibited mixture of wool and linen; see Devarim 22:11). The positive commandment to make bigdei kehunah overrides this prohibition, but wearing bigdei kehunah that were made improperly would violate it.
