וַעֲשִׂיתֶ֨ם אִשֶּׁ֤ה לַֽיהֹוָה֙ עֹלָ֣ה אוֹ־זֶ֔בַח לְפַלֵּא־נֶ֙דֶר֙ א֣וֹ בִנְדָבָ֔ה א֖וֹ בְּמֹעֲדֵיכֶ֑ם לַעֲשׂ֞וֹת רֵ֤יחַ נִיחֹ֙חַ֙ לַֽיהֹוָ֔ה מִן־הַבָּקָ֖ר א֥וֹ מִן־הַצֹּֽאן׃

And you shall make a fire-offering to Hashem, a burnt offering or a sacrifice, to fulfill a vow or as a freewill offering or in your appointed times, to make a pleasing aroma to Hashem, from the herd or from the flock.

Core Text of Chazal

Core Text
״וַעֲשִׂיתֶם אִשֶּׁה לַה׳״ — יָכוֹל כׇּל הָעוֹלֶה לָאִישִּׁים יְהֵא טָעוּן נְסָכִים, אֲפִילּוּ מִנְחָה? תַּלְמוּד לוֹמַר ״עֹלָה״. שְׁלָמִים מִנַּיִן? תַּלְמוּד לוֹמַר ״זֶבַח״. תּוֹדָה מִנַּיִן? תַּלְמוּד לוֹמַר ״אוֹ זֶבַח״.

English: “And you shall make a fire-offering to Hashem” — might every thing that goes up to the fires require nesachim, even a minchah? The verse says “burnt offering.” From where peace-offerings? The verse says “sacrifice.” From where thanksgiving? The verse says “or a sacrifice.”

Type of Learning

Inclusion and exclusion of offering types for nesachim.

What Is Learned

Nesachim attach to olah, shelamim, and todah — not to a standalone minchah.
