The minchah-offerings are subject to me’ilah from when they are consecrated. [Once] they are consecrated in a [sacred service] vessel, they be- come prepared to be disqualified through [contact with] a tevul yom, through [contact with] a mechus- sar kippurim, or through remaining past their time. [Once] the kometz is offered [upon the Altar], one is liable on account of [the minchah] for piggul, nossar, or tamei. The remnants are not subject to me’ilah, but the kometz is subject to me’ilah until it goes out to the place of ashes.
