Zevahim 91: Wine on the Fire

More on the order of the sacrifices, when there’s a conflict – this time, in the context of what should be eaten first. With “frequency” and “sacredness/sanctity” being the salient factors. Until “prevalence” is introduced as a factor as well. Also, a new mishnah: When oil is distributed in the Temple courtyard, it is easily identified as among the foodstuffs for the kohanim, or coming as leftovers from certain grain products, but oil is considered less prominent, even to the dispute as to whether oil can be given as a gift. Plus, wine libations – where the sprinkling on the altar seems to be a concern of extinguishing the fire there.
