Which Offerings May Be Set Burning As the Sun Goes Down

It was taught: I would know only of things whose manner is to be offered at night, such as the limbs and the fat-pieces, which one brings up and burns from sunset and which go on being consumed all through the night. As for things whose manner is to be offered by day - such as the handful of meal, the frankincense, the incense, the meal offering of priests, the meal offering of the anointed priest, and the meal offering accompanying libations - from where do we learn that one may bring them up and burn them from sunset? [The objection:] From sunset? But you said their manner is to be offered by day! Rather, the question is: From where do we learn that if one brought them up at sunset, so that they go on being consumed all through the night, this is valid? Scripture teaches, "This is the instruction of the burnt offering" - it included [these too]. But "at sunset" you do not find a case, since the fire must have taken hold in the greater part of the offering [before nightfall]. This is no difficulty: here the concern is the catching of the fire, and here it is the rendering permissible. Rabbi Eliezer teaches it as "from sunset" and applies it to the portions that have sprung off the altar. And likewise Rabbi Yannai said it applies to portions that have sprung off. But did not Rabbi Yannai say: Incense that has sprung off the top of the altar, even its tiniest grains, one does not return them? For Rabbi taught: "Which the fire consumes the burnt offering upon the altar" - the consumed remains of a burnt offering you return, but you do not return the consumed remains of the incense. Remove the incense from here, and so forth.
