Several suggestions are brought to try to find a resolution to a problem that Rabbi Chiya raised- a situation in which a toda and its tmura got mixed up and one died. No resolution is found. Another issue is raised regarding the wording used for one’s commitment to bring a toda and/or its bread (several different wordings are brought) and how that wording is interpreted.

Various situations in which a replacement offering is brought (the animal got lost and another was brought in its place and in the meantime the first animal was found), or the offspring of an animal designated for a toda or a tmura, would one bring bread with it or not? Does it depend on whether it was a voluntary or obligatory toda?

What is the root of the debate about what is done with the meal sin offering of a priest – burned in its entirety, a handful is separated and each part is burned separately or a handful is separated and burned and the remainder is put by the beit hadeshen to be “lost” (not burned)? Which offerings are burned in their entirety? And which are entirely brought to the priest? How is the oil done in the voluntary offerings?
