In this week’s parsha we learn about the obligation to bring
libations together with a korban.
The libation offering consists of bringing a mincha of oil and
flour combined plus wine which was poured through the holes on the mizbaoch. One has the ability to offer a nedavah of
the מנחת נסכים
as well. Rashi in Menachos 104b explains
in such a situation the one offering the korban brings the oil, flour
and wine of a מנחת נסכים. The Rambam in מעשה קרבנות beginning of ch. 2
says היין והסולת שמביאין עם הקרבן הם הנקראין נסכים
והסולת לבדה נקראת מנחת נסכים. The Rambam in Ch. 14 Law 1 says ומתנדב או נודר מנחה ממנחת נסכים לבדה מאי זה מין
משלשה מיני מנחות נסכים כמו שביארנו
(meaning one can bring the libation mincha of either the sheep, goat or
cow that have different amounts.) If one
does the math and adds 1+1 together, it comes out that according to the Rambam when
one volunteers a מנחת נסכים they bring the flour and oil (the meforshim
say סולת includes the oil as well,) not the wine for
the wine is called נסכים
but not מנחת נסכים. It comes out according to Rashi we view the obligation
of the wine that accompanies the mincha as part of the mincha, but
according to the Rambam its viewed as an independent obligation. (See more
about this in the Briskor Rav Menachos 44b, Nitziv in footnote to Sifri, Mikdash
Dovid siman 10.)
