Menachot 12: Inappropriate Thoughts at Specific Times Will Invalidate Offerings

• the Mishna continues:
• meal offerings of a sinner: jealousy due to a sota where the handful has been removed not for its own sake 
• a handful that was offered at an inappropriate time
• performing these rites with intent to partake of an olive-bulk or more outside of the designated area
• consuming that olive bulk at different times outside of the designated 
• these are invalid but not punishable by karet, death at the hand of heaven
• Rabbi Yehuda announces the principle:
• if the intent regarding time preceded the intent regarding the area, the offering is piggul and one is liable to receive karet
• if the intent regarding the area preceded the intent regarding time, the offering is until because there is no liability for karet
• the rabbis say the in both of these cases, the offering is unfit but there is no liability for karet
• A second Mishna discusses limitations regarding small measures in unfit places
• Inappropriate thoughts at particular times during preparation of a sacrifice can invalidate the sacrifice
• Notar, left over thoughts about where the sacrifice might be eaten/sacrificed make the sacrifice piggul, unfit, and punishable by karet
• Each of those moments in time are similar to key moments in animal sacrifice
• The following thoughts of notar/piggul affect the validity of meal offerings:
• kemitza is like shechita
• placing the kometz in the Temple is like collecting the blood in the Temple vessel
• carrying the kometz to the altar parallels carrying the blood to the altar
• burning the kometz on the altar is like sprinkling the blood on the altar
