מִי שֶׁזָּכָה בְּדִישּׁוּן מִזְבֵּחַ הַפְּנִימִי וּבְדִישּׁוּן הַמְּנוֹרָה, הָיוּ מַקְדִּימִין, וְאַרְבָּעָה כֵּלִים בְּיָדָם: הַטְּנִי וְהַכּוּז וּשְׁנֵי מַפְתְּחוֹת. הַטְּנִי – דּוֹמֶה לְתַרְקַב שֶׁל זָהָב מַחֲזִיק קַבַּיִים וָחֵצִי. וְהַכּוּז – דּוֹמֶה לְקִיתוֹן גָּדוֹל שֶׁל זָהָב. וּשְׁתֵּי מַפְתְּחוֹת – אֶחָד שֶׁהוּא יוֹרֵד בְּאַמַּת הַשֶּׁחִי, וְאֶחָד שֶׁהוּא פּוֹתֵחַ כֵּיוָן.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
MISHNA 3:5 The priests **who won** the privilege **of the removal of ash from the inner altar and of the removal of ash from the Candelabrum would precede** the other priests **and** would hold **four vessels in their hands: The basket, and the jug, and** the **two keys. The basket is similar to** a large **gold** vessel with a capacity of **three *kav* [*letarkav*],** but it **holds** only **two and a half *kav*. And the jug is similar to a large flask [*lekitton*] of gold. And** as for the **two keys,** with **one** of them the priest **would lower his arm to his armpit** through a small opening in the door and open the lock that was at the bottom of the door on the inside, and he would pass through that door into a compartment. **And** the other **one** is the key with **which** the priest **opened** the lock on the inner door of the compartment, through which he entered the Sanctuary, and that lock he opened **directly.**

בָּא לוֹ לַפִּשְׁפָּשׁ הַצְּפוֹנִי. שְׁנֵי פִּשְׁפָּשִׁין הָיוּ לוֹ לַשַּׁעַר הַגָּדוֹל, אַחַת בַּצָּפוֹן, וְאַחַת בַּדָּרוֹם. שֶׁבַּדָּרוֹם לֹא נִכְנַס בּוֹ אָדָם. עָלָיו הוּא מְפוֹרָשׁ עַל יְדֵי יְחֶזְקֵאל, שֶׁנֶּאֱמַר: ״וַיֹּאמֶר אֵלַי ה׳ הַשַּׁעַר הַזֶּה סָגוּר יִהְיֶה לֹא יִפָּתֵחַ וְאִישׁ אַל יָבֹא בוֹ כִּי ה׳ אֱלֹהֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל בָּא בוֹ וְהָיָה סָגוּר״.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
MISHNA 3:6 The priest **came to the northern wicket. There were two wickets for the large gate, one in the northern** part of the gate **and one in the southern** part. Through the wicket **that was in the southern** part, **no person entered. In its regard,** the wicket’s status **is clarified by** the prophet **Ezekiel, as it is stated:** “Then he brought me back the way of the outer gate of the Sanctuary, which looks toward the east; and it was shut. **And the Lord said unto me: This gate shall be shut, it shall not be opened, neither shall any man enter in by it, for the Lord, the God of Israel, has entered in by it; and it shall be shut”** (Ezekiel 44:1–2).

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
The priest **took the key, opened the wicket** north of the gate, **and entered the compartment.** He went **from the compartment to the Sanctuary** and continued **until** he would **reach the large gate.** Once **he reached the large gate,** which was locked from the inside, **he moved the bolt and the locks** fixing the bolt in place **and opened** the gate. The priest **who slaughters** the daily offering **would not slaughter** the animal **until he** would **hear that the large gate** had been **opened.**

The slaughterhouse was to the north of the altar. Adjacent to it** there were **eight low** stone **pillars. And cedarwood squares** were affixed **upon them, and iron hooks were fixed in** the wooden squares. **And** there were **three rows** of hooks **on each and every one** of those wooden squares, **upon which** the priests would **suspend** the animal after it was slaughtered. **And they** would **flay** the animal’s hide **onto marble tables that** were positioned **between the pillars.**

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
The priest **who won** the right **of the removal of ash from the Candelabrum entered** the Sanctuary. **And** if **he found** in the Candelabrum the **two easternmost lamps**, the second of which is called the **western** lamp, still **burning,** he would first **remove the ashes** and the burned wicks **from the rest** of the lamps and place them in the jug, and place new wicks and oil in those lamps. **And** he would **leave these** two lamps **burning in their** own **place.** If **he found that** the two easternmost lamps **were extinguished,** he would **remove the ashes** and the burned wicks from **them and kindle them from the** lamps that were still **burning.** If none were still burning, he would kindle them from the fire on the outer altar. **And afterward,** the priest would **remove the ashes** and the wicks **from the rest** of the lamps.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
**And there was a stone in front of the Candelabrum and in it there** were **three stairs upon which** the **priest** would **stand and prepare the lamps** for kindling. Since the Candelabrum was eighteen handbreadths high, it was necessary for the priest to stand on an elevated surface to reach the lamps. **And** after he placed the ashes and the wicks from the five westernmost lamps in the jug, he would **place the jug on** the **second stair** of that stone, **and** then he **emerged** from the Sanctuary. When the priest later returned to prepare the two easternmost lamps for kindling, he would remove the jug with the ashes from the Candelabrum, and together with the priest removing the basket with the ashes from the inner altar would pour the ashes from the jug and the basket at the side of the altar.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
**MISHNA:** In preparing the lamb of the daily offering for sacrifice, the priests **would not tie the lamb** by fastening all four of its legs together; **rather, they would bind it** by fastening each hind leg to the corresponding foreleg. The priests **who won** the right **to** take **the limbs** up to the ramp would **hold** the lamb in place while it was being slaughtered. **And this was** the manner of **its binding:** The animal would be stood in the northern part of the courtyard while **its head** would be directed **to the south,** toward the altar, **and its face** would be turned **to the west,** toward the Sanctuary. **And the slaughterer** would **stand to** the **east** of the animal, **and his face** would be **to the west.**

Twenty-four rings were affixed to the courtyard floor north of the altar, designated for placement of the animal’s neck during its slaughter.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
After **the slaughterer has slaughtered** the lamb **and the receiver has received** its blood in a vessel to sprinkle on the altar, the priest **comes to** the **northeast corner** of the altar **and places** the first sprinkling in such a manner that the blood will reach the **eastern** and **northern** sides of the altar. Next, the priest comes to the **southwest** corner of the altar **and places** a second sprinkling in a manner such that the blood will reach the **western** and **southern** sides of the altar. With regard to **the remainder of the blood,** the priest **would pour** it **at** the **southern base** of the altar, at its southwest corner.
