More on the griddle-cakes… which were brought together with the daily offerings of the morning and of the afternoon. This raises the question of how much flour went into each offering – was the 10th of an efah of flour divided between the two daily offerings, or per each of them? Plus, the same question as applied to the frankincense, in terms of quantity with regard to each daily offering of the morning and of the afternoon. Where one approach relies on the verses and another on the logic (again, neither being tested in a taster kitchen). Also, when the kohen gadol died and another hasn’t yet been appointed, the question of how much of the offering should be brought is asked as well – is he bringing, as it were, a double-portion for the kohen gadol, as it were, if he needed to bring for both of them.
