[א] או אומר כל קורבנך…תקריב מלח, יכול אף על העצים אף על הדם… תלמוד לומר "קרבן מנחתך" – מה קרבן מנחתך – דבר שאחרים באים חובה לו, יצאו העצים והדם שאין אחרים באים חובה להן.
1) (Vayikra 2:13): ("And every offering of your meal-offering you shall salt with salt"): If it were merely stated: "And every offering you shall offer with salt," I might think that even wood and blood, (which are referred to as "offerings") required salt. It is, therefore, written "offering of your meal-offering." Just as the offering of your meal-offering requires a supplement (i.e., wood), all (offerings) that are so characterized (require salt) — as opposed to wood and blood, which do not require a supplement.
