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?

How do we resolve the contradiction between our mishna and a braita about Pesach where the opinions are flipped – those who are concerned one will eat from the new crop earlier, are not concerned that if one checks for chametz on Pesach they will accidentally eat it (and vice-versa). When is the new crop permitted – in the time of the Beit Hamikdash and in the time where there is no Beit Hamikdash? What is the status of a sacrifice brought from the new crop before the time it is permitted in the Beit Hamikdash (Shavuot -after the bread offering is brought)?
