Commento su Menahot 6:2
מִנְחַת כֹּהֲנִים וּמִנְחַת כֹּהֵן מָשִׁיחַ וּמִנְחַת נְסָכִים, לַמִּזְבֵּחַ, וְאֵין בָּהֶם לַכֹּהֲנִים. בָּזֶה יָפֶה כֹחַ הַמִּזְבֵּחַ מִכֹּחַ הַכֹּהֲנִים. שְׁתֵּי הַלֶּחֶם וְלֶחֶם הַפָּנִים, לַכֹּהֲנִים, וְאֵין בָּהֶם לַמִּזְבֵּחַ. וּבָזֶה יָפֶה כֹחַ הַכֹּהֲנִים מִכֹּחַ הַמִּזְבֵּחַ:
L'offerta di grano dei sacerdoti e l'offerta di grano del sommo sacerdote consacrato, e l'offerta di grano offerta con le libagioni sono [interamente] per l'altare e i sacerdoti non hanno alcuna partecipazione in esse. Con questi l'altare ha un potere maggiore rispetto ai sacerdoti. I due pani e il pane dello spettacolo vengono mangiati dai sacerdoti e l'altare non ha parte in essi; con questi i sacerdoti hanno un potere maggiore dell'altare.
Bartenura on Mishnah Menachot
בזה יפה כח המזבח – it was not necessary to teach this, for we see that in this, the power of the altar is greater, and it is a simple matter. But rather to include the individual who gives a freewill offering of wine to altar without a sacrifice, so that you should not say that he drips it over the burnt-offerings on the fire, and it is completely burned and the power of the altar is not greater in this, it comes to teach us that this is not the case, but rather, he offers the libation like other libations and goes down to the pit by the side of the altar into which the remainder of the libations were poured, that is like two perforations/incisions that were in the altar and they would go down below until the foundation, in order that the power of the altar would be greater.

Bartenura on Mishnah Menachot
ובזה יפה כח הכהנים – to include the two [loaves of] bread of Atzeret/Shavuot, if he brought them by themselves with out the lambs, that you should not say that they stand for burning but not for consumption since the lambs were not offered up as sacrifices that permit them, it comes to teach us that in this way, the power of he Kohanim was greater forever, for they stood for consumption and not for burning (see Tractate Menahot 74b).

English Explanation of Mishnah Menachot
The minhah of the priests, The minhah of the anointed high priest, And the minhah that is offered with the libations are [wholly] for the altar and the priests have no share in them; with these the altar is more privileged than the priests. These three menahot are burned and no part of them is eaten. This is always the case with menahot that are brought by priests. In addition, it is also true of the minhah brought with the libations (Numbers 15:4ff).
