The chavitin of the Kohen Gadol were not brought by halves; rather, he brings a full issaron and divides it, and offers half in the morning and half in the afternoon. [If] a Kohen offered half in the morning and died, and they appointed another Kohen in his place, he should not bring half an issaron of his own, nor the half of the first one’s issaron; rather, he brings a full issaron and divides it in half, and he offers half, and half is destroyed. Thus, two halves are offered and two halves are destroyed. [If] they did not appoint another Kohen, from whom was it brought? R’ Shimon says: From the public. R’ Yehudah says: From the heirs. And it was offered whole.

All minchah-offerings are brought as matzah except for the leavened [bread] of the todah-offering and the shtei halechem, which are brought leavened. R’ Meir says: He abstracts sourdough for them from within themselves and leavens them. R’ Yehudah says: This, too, is not preferred. Rather, he brings sourdough, places it within the measure, and then fills the measure. They said to him: This, too, would be deficient or excessive.
