Chapter 3, Mishna 2

Why are the limbs of a burnt offering salted, but not the blood?
Why are the limbs treated like a meal offering, but not the blood?
Does the altar wood need to be salted?
And, does wood donated as an offering need salt?
What does the phrase “and every meal offering of yours” exclude?
Which items require salt according to Rabbi Yishmael?
Why does blood not require salt like other offerings?
What happens if blood that can no longer be offered on the altar is eaten?
Does blood on the skin disqualify immersion in a mikveh?
And, does it matter if it is wet or dry?
Why does the verse say “you shall season with salt”?
What type of salt must be used on a meal offering?
And, what can be used if that type isn’t available?
Why is salt on the limb of a sacrifice considered sacred, and thus off limits for private use?
