Our daf teaches us that each of these offerings was offered independently excepting the loaves and the burnt offerings which are meant to be brought together. Some rabbis argue whether or not the loaves must be brought with other offerings. We learn that the loaves could not be eaten until the slaughters were completed and the blood was collected and sprinkled.
The rabbis discuss what to do if the sacrifices and/or sprinkling of blood were not done properly. Rabbi Yehuda HaNasi says that sprinting with the wrong intention means that the animal has been only partially sanctified. Abaye and Rava argue about how to define the level of sanctification. Rabbi Elazar b'Rabbi Shimonarguies rules that the loaves are sanctified only if the slaughter and the sprinkling of the blood are both done properly. A number of different proof texts are presented to defend each opinion.
We explore the Shavuot offerings and the interdependence of the loaves and the lambs.
