2. There were seven liquid measures in the Temple: a hin, a half of a hin, a third of a hin, and a fourth of a hin; a log, a half-log, and a quarter-log. R’ Eliezer bar Tzadok says: There were notches in the hin: until here for the bull; until here for the ram; and until here for the lamb. R’ Shimon says: There was no hin there, for what function did the hin serve? Rather, there was a larger measure of a log and a half, with which one would measure the minchah-offering of the Kohen Gadol, a log and a half in the morning and a log and a half in the afternoon.

What was the function of the quarter [-log]? A quarter [-log] of water for the metzora and a quarter [-log] of oil for the nazir. What was the function of the half-log? A half-log of water for a sotah and a half-log of oil for the todah-offering. They measured all minchah-offerings with the log. Even for a minchah-offering of sixty issaron, one supplies for them sixty log. R’ Eliezer ben Yaakov says: Even a minchah-offering of sixty issaron contains only its one log; as it is stated (Lev. 14:21): for a minchah-offering, and a log of oil. Six for the bull, four for the ram, three for the lamb, and three and a half for the menorah; [on the basis of] half a log for each lamp.

One may mix together the libation offerings of rams with those of bulls, the libation offerings of lambs with those of lambs, those of an individual with those of the community, [and] those of today with those of yesterday. But one may not mix together the libation offerings of lambs with those of bulls and rams. If he combined [the ingredients of] each of them separately and they [then] mixed together, they are valid; if before they were combined, they are invalid. The lamb which comes with the omer-offering, although [the size of] its minchah-offering is doubled, its libations are not doubled.

All the measures which were in the Temple were heaped, except for that of the Kohen Gadol, which was heaped within. The overflow of the liquid measures is sanctified, but the overflow of the dry measures is not sanctified. R’ Akiva says: The liquid measures are consecrated; therefore their overflow is sanctified. The dry measures are not consecrated; therefore their overflow is not sanctified. R’ Yose says: [It is] not for this reason. Rather, [it is because] the liquid is displaced whereas the solid is not displaced.
