Mishnah Menachot 6:1: These grain offerings have a handful taken from them and the remainder goes to the priests: the grain offering of fine flour, that prepared on a griddle, that prepared in a pan, the cakes and the wafers, the grain offering of a non-Jew, the grain offering of women, and the grain offering of the omer [The special barley offering, offered the day after Pesach, which permits grain harvested in the last year to be eaten].a fine grain offering, the frying pan grain offering, the deep-fried grain offering, loaves, wafers, the grain offering of non-Jews, the grain offering of women, the grain offering of the omer, the sinner's grain offering, and the grain offering of jealousy. Rabbi Shimon says, the sinner's grain offering of a priest has its handful removed and is burned separately from the remainder.

אלו מנחות נקמצות ושיריהן לכהנים, מנחת סלת, והמחבת, והמרחשת, והחלות, והרקיקין, מנחת גוים, מנחת נשים, מנחת העמר, מנחת חוטא, ומנחת קנאות. רבי שמעון אומר, מנחת חוטא של כהנים נקמצת, והקמץ קרב לעצמו, והשירים קרבין לעצמן.

Mishnah Menachot 6:2: The grain offering of the priests and the grain offering of the anointed high priest, and the grain offering offered with the libations are [wholly] for the altar and the priests have no share in them. With these the altar has greater power than the priests. The two loaves and the showbread are eaten by the priests and the altar has no share in them; with these the priests have greater power than the altar.

מנחת כהנים ומנחת כהן משיח ומנחת נסכים, למזבח, ואין בהם לכהנים. בזה יפה כח המזבח מכח הכהנים.שתי הלחם ולחם הפנים, לכהנים, ואין בהם למזבח. ובזה יפה כח הכהנים מכח המזבח.
