[Tamid 30a:1](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Tamid/r/30a:1)

וְשָׁיְיפִי לְהוּ בְּחַבְלָא דְּצַבְתָּא דִּסְרִיךְ עֲלֵיהּ בִּזְרָא, וְקָבְרִי הֵיכָא דְּמַסֵּיק יַמָּא שִׂירְטוֹן, קוֹרָה – עָבְדָא, פֵּירֵי – לָא עָבְדָא, וּתְלָת בְּרִיכֵי מִינַּיְיהוּ לָא מַחְזְקָה לְהוּ גַּמְלָא.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
**and** the growers **rub them with a rope** made **of palm** fronds, **to which the seeds adhere, and they plant** the tree in a spot **where the sea emits** deposits of **sediment [*sirton*].** A tree planted in this manner **produces** wood that is suitable for **a beam,** but it **does not produce fruit. And** as the tree does not divert its resources to yielding fruit, its wood is so robust and heavy that with regard to **three of its branches, a bridge cannot support them.**


###### Tamid 30a:2
[Tamid 30a:2](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Tamid/r/30a:2)

סִידֵּר אֶת הַמַּעֲרָכָה גְּדוֹלָה וְכוּ׳. מַאי טַעְמָא? רַב הוּנָא וְרַב חִסְדָּא. חַד אָמַר: כְּדֵי שֶׁתְּהֵא הָרוּחַ מְנַשֶּׁבֶת בָּהּ, וְחַד אָמַר: כְּדֵי שֶׁיְּהוּ מַצִּיתִין הָאֲלִיתָא מִשָּׁם.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
§ The mishna teaches: The priest **assembled the large arrangement** on the eastern side of the altar, and its opening was on the eastern side of the altar. The Gemara asks: **What is the reason** that an opening was formed in the arrangement? This matter is subject to a dispute between **Rav Huna and Rav Ḥisda: One said** that the opening was formed **so that the wind would blow into it** and fan the flames of the arrangement. **And one said** that it was formed **so that** the priests **would** be able to **light from there the kindling** that was placed between the logs.


###### Tamid 30a:3
[Tamid 30a:3](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Tamid/r/30a:3)

מֵיתִיבִי: רֶיוַח הָיָה בָּהֶן בֵּין הַגְּזִירִין, שֶׁהָיוּ מַצִּיתִין הָאֲלִיתָא מִשָּׁם. אָמַר לָךְ, מְקוֹמוֹת מְקוֹמוֹת עָבְדִי.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
The Gemara **raises an objection** from the mishna: **There was space between the logs, as** the priests **would ignite the kindling from there.** Evidently, the kindling was not ignited from the opening. The Gemara explains: The Sage who maintains that the kindling was lit from the opening in the east of the arrangement could **say to you** that in addition to lighting kindling from the opening, the priests would **fashion many spaces** within the arrangement, through which they would ignite kindling in order to increase the fire.

**אָמַר לָהֶן הַמְמוּנֶּה** בּוֹאוּ וְהָפִיסוּ: מִי הַשּׁוֹחֵט, וּמִי הַזּוֹרֵק, מִי מְדַשֵּׁן מִזְבֵּחַ הַפְּנִימִי, מִי מְדַשֵּׁן אֶת הַמְּנוֹרָה, מִי מַעֲלֶה אֵבָרִים לַכֶּבֶשׁ.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
**MISHNA:** 3:1 Four lotteries were conducted in the Temple each day in order to determine which priests would perform which of the Temple rites. After describing the first of the lotteries, for removal of the ashes, the *tanna* describes the second lottery. **The** priest **appointed** to oversee the lotteries **said to** the priests: **Come and participate in the lottery** to determine **who is the** priest **who** will **slaughter** the daily offering; **and who** is the priest **who** will **sprinkle** its blood; and **who** will **remove the ashes from the inner,** golden **altar;** and **who** will **remove the ashes from the Candelabrum;** and **who** will **take** the **limbs** of the daily offering **up to the ramp** to be burned afterward.

The limbs of the daily offering taken up to the ramp were divided among the priests in the following manner: One priest took **the head and the right** hind **leg** up to the altar; **and** a second took **the two forelegs;** a third **the haunch,** including the lower spine and the tail, **and the left** hind **leg;** a fourth **the breast and the cud,** i.e., the neck and appended internal organs, including the windpipe, liver, and heart; **and** a fifth **the two flanks;** a sixth **the innards; and** a seventh **the fine flour** from the accompanying meal offering; **and** an eighth **the griddle-cake** offering; **and** a ninth **the wine** for the libation.

They **conducted the lottery** to determine the thirteen tasks, i.e., slaughtering, carrying the nine items or pairs of items, sprinkling the blood, removing the ashes from the inner altar, and removing the ashes from the Candelabrum. **And whoever won** that lottery **won** the right to perform the slaughter, and the twelve priests standing to his right won the other privileges.
