מָלֵא וְגָדוּשׁ קְטֹרֶת, וְכִסּוּי הָיָה לוֹ. וּכְמִין מְטוֹטֶלֶת הָיָה עָלָיו מִלְּמַעְלָן.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
The vessel was **filled to overflow** with **incense. And it had a cover** to prevent spillage of the incense, **and there was a type of cloth** placed **upon it from above,** to preserve the fragrance of the incense.


###### Tamid 33a:2
[Tamid 33a:2](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Tamid/r/33a:2)

**ה** מִי שֶׁזָּכָה בַּמַּחְתָּה, נָטַל מַחְתַּת הַכֶּסֶף וְעָלָה לְרֹאשׁ הַמִּזְבֵּחַ, וּפִנָּה אֶת הַגֶּחָלִים הֵילָךְ [וְהֵילָךְ], וְחָתָה (מִן הַמְאוּכָּלוֹת הַפְּנִימִיּוֹת). יָרַד וְעֵירָן לְתוֹךְ שֶׁל זָהָב, נִתְפַּזֵּר מִמֶּנּוּ כְּקַב גֶּחָלִים, וְהָיָה מְכַבְּדָן לָאַמָּה.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
MISHNA 5:5 The priest **who won** the right **to** bring **the coal pan** with the coals from the outer altar to the incense altar in the Sanctuary **took the silver coal pan, ascended to the top of the** outer **altar, and cleared** the extinguished coals from the perimeter of the flame **to here** and to there. Then he **shoveled** four *kav* from the consumed inner coals, which were burned in the depths of the flame, into the coal pan. **He descended** from the altar **and emptied** the coals **into** the coal pan made **of gold. Approximately one *kav* of coals from it was** spilled and **scattered** on the courtyard floor, as the capacity of the gold pan was only three *kav*. **And** a priest **would sweep** the scattered coals **into** the Temple courtyard **drain** that passed through the courtyard to drain the waste outside the Temple.


###### Tamid 33a:3
[Tamid 33a:3](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Tamid/r/33a:3)

וּבַשַּׁבָּת הָיָה כּוֹפֶה עֲלֵיהֶן פְּסַכְתֵּר. וּפְסַכְתֵּר הָיְתָה כְּלִי גָּדוֹל מַחְזֶקֶת לֶתֶךְ. וּשְׁתֵּי שַׁרְשְׁרוֹת הָיוּ בָּהּ, אַחַת – שֶׁהוּא מוֹשֵׁךְ בָּהּ וְיוֹרֵד. וְאַחַת – שֶׁהוּא אוֹחֵז בָּהּ מִלְּמַעְלָן, בִּשְׁבִיל שֶׁלֹּא תִּתְגַּלְגֵּל.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
**And on Shabbat,** when it is prohibited to extinguish fire, the priest would not sweep the coals into the canal; rather, **he would overturn a *pesakhter* upon them. And** the ***pesakhter* was a large vessel** that **held a half-kor. And** since the *pesakhter* was a very heavy vessel, **there were two chains on it,** to facilitate its standard use, removal of ashes from the altar: **One** chain with **which** a priest would **pull** the vessel filled with ashes **down** the ramp, **and one** chain **that** another priest **would grasp from above, so that** the vessel would **not roll** down the ramp and the ashes would not spill.


###### Tamid 33a:4
[Tamid 33a:4](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Tamid/r/33a:4)

וּשְׁלֹשָׁה דְּבָרִים הָיְתָה מְשַׁמֶּשֶׁת: כּוֹפִין אוֹתָהּ עַל גַּבֵּי גֶּחָלִים, וְעַל הַשֶּׁרֶץ בַּשַּׁבָּת, וּמוֹרִידִין בָּהּ אֶת הַדֶּשֶׁן מֵעַל גַּבֵּי הַמִּזְבֵּחַ.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
**And** the *pesakhter* **would serve three purposes:** The priests would **overturn it upon** the **coals** that scattered in the Temple during the transfer from the silver to the gold coal pan on Shabbat, **and** they would overturn it **upon the** carcass of **a creeping animal** found in the Temple **on Shabbat, and** they would **take the ashes down from atop the altar in it.**

[Tamid 33a:5](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Tamid/r/33a:5)

**ו** הִגִּיעוּ בֵּין הָאוּלָם וְלַמִּזְבֵּחַ, נָטַל אֶחָד אֶת הַמַּגְרֵפָה וּזְרָקָהּ בֵּין הָאוּלָם וְלַמִּזְבֵּחַ. אֵין אָדָם שׁוֹמֵעַ קוֹל חֲבֵירוֹ בִּירוּשָׁלַיִם מִקּוֹל הַמַּגְרֵפָה.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
MISHNA 5:6 The priest with the spoonful of incense and the priest with the gold coal pan filled with coals **reached** the place **between the Entrance Hall** to the Sanctuary **and the** outer **altar,** on their way to the Sanctuary. **One** of them **took the shovel and threw it between the Entrance Hall and the** outer **altar. No person** could **hear the voice of another** speaking to him **in Jerusalem,** due **to** the **sound** generated by **the shovel.**

[Tamid 33a:6](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Tamid/r/33a:6)

וּשְׁלֹשָׁה דְּבָרִים הָיְתָה מְשַׁמֶּשֶׁת: כֹּהֵן שֶׁשּׁוֹמֵעַ אֶת קוֹלָהּ, יוֹדֵעַ שֶׁאֶחָיו הַכֹּהֲנִים נִכְנָסִים לְהִשְׁתַּחֲווֹת, וְהוּא רָץ וּבָא. וּבֶן לֵוִי שֶׁהוּא שׁוֹמֵעַ אֶת קוֹלָהּ, יוֹדֵעַ שֶׁאֶחָיו הַלְוִיִּם נִכְנָסִים לְדַבֵּר בַּשִּׁיר, וְהוּא רָץ וּבָא. וְרֹאשׁ הַמַּעֲמָד, הָיָה מַעֲמִיד אֶת הַטְּמֵאִים בְּשַׁעַר הַמִּזְרָח.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
**And** that sound **would serve three purposes:** Any **priest who hears its sound knows that his brethren the priests are entering to prostrate** themselves in the Sanctuary at that time, **and he** would **run and come** to prostrate himself with them. **And** any **Levite who hears its sound knows that his brethren the Levites are entering** the courtyard to stand on their platform **to recite the psalm** accompanying the libation, **and he** would **run and come** to sing with them. **And the head of the** non-priestly **watch,** which stands in the courtyard as the agents of the Jewish people, **would position the ritually impure** priests and singers **at the eastern gate** of the courtyard, to make it clear that those priests were not performing the Temple service due to their ritual impurity.

א **הֵחֵלּוּ עוֹלִים** בְּמַעֲלוֹת הָאוּלָם. מִי שֶׁזָּכוּ בְּדִישּׁוּן מִזְבֵּחַ הַפְּנִימִי וְהַמְּנוֹרָה הָיוּ מַקְדִּימִים לִפְנֵיהֶם. מִי שֶׁזָּכָה בְּדִישּׁוּן מִזְבֵּחַ הַפְּנִימִי – נִכְנַס וְנָטַל אֶת הַטְּנִי, וְהִשְׁתַּחֲוָה וְיָצָא.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
**MISHNA:** 6:1 The priest with the panful of incense and the priest with the gold coal pan filled with coals **began ascending** the twelve **stairs of the Entrance Hall.** The priests **who won** the rights **of the removal of ash from the inner altar and** the removal of ash from **the Candelabrum would precede them,** to remove the vessels that remained in the Sanctuary. The priest **who won** the right **of the removal of ash from the inner altar entered** the Sanctuary **and took the basket** that he had left there after removing the ashes from the altar. **And** when he completed his tasks, he **prostrated** himself with his hands and feet spread **and emerged** from the Sanctuary.

מִי שֶׁזָּכָה בְּדִישּׁוּן הַמְּנוֹרָה, נִכְנַס וּמָצָא שְׁתֵּי נֵרוֹת מַעֲרָבִיִּים דּוֹלְקִין. מְדַשֵּׁן אֶת הַמִּזְרָחִי, וּמַנִּיחַ אֶת הַמַּעֲרָבִי דּוֹלֵק. שֶׁמִּמֶּנּוּ הָיָה מַדְלִיק אֶת הַמְּנוֹרָה שֶׁל בֵּין הָעַרְבַּיִם. מְצָאוֹ שֶׁכָּבָה, מְדַשְּׁנוֹ וּמַדְלִיקוֹ מִמִּזְבַּח הָעוֹלָה. נָטַל אֶת הַכּוּז מִמַּעֲלָה שְׁנִיָּה, וְהִשְׁתַּחֲוָה וְיָצָא.

**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** the **two western lamps,** i.e., the easternmost and the one immediately to its west, of the Candelabrum **burning,** he would **remove the ash from the easternmost** lamp and prepare it anew. **But** he would **leave burning the** lamp immediately **west** of the easternmost lamp, **as from** that lamp **he would kindle** the lamps of **the Candelabrum in the afternoon.** If **he found that** the lamp west of the easternmost lamp **was extinguished, he** would **remove the ashes and kindle it** from the fire on **the altar of the burnt offering.** He then **took the jug** in which he had placed the ashes and wicks of the Candelabrum **from** the **second stair** of the stone before the Candelabrum **and prostrated** himself **and emerged** from the Sanctuary.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
MISHNA 6:2 The priest **who won** the right **to** bring **the coal pan** filled with coals to the inner altar for the burning of the incense first **piled the coals on the** inner **altar and** then **flattened them,** distributing them evenly on the altar **with the bottom of the coal pan. And** when he finished distributing the coals, he **prostrated** himself **and emerged** from the Sanctuary.

**ג** מִי שֶׁזָּכָה בַּקְּטֹרֶת, הָיָה נוֹטֵל אֶת הַבָּזֵךְ מִתּוֹךְ הַכַּף, וְנוֹתְנוֹ לְאוֹהֲבוֹ אוֹ לִקְרוֹבוֹ. נִתְפַּזֵּר מִמֶּנּוּ לְתוֹכוֹ – נוֹתְנוֹ לוֹ בְּחׇפְנָיו. וּמְלַמְּדִים אוֹתוֹ: הֱוֵי זָהִיר שֶׁמָּא תַּתְחִיל מִפָּנֶיךָ, שֶׁלֹּא תִּכָּוֶה.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
MISHNA 6:3 The priest **who won** the right **to** burn **the incense would take the smaller vessel** containing the incense **from within the spoon, and** would **give it to** a priest who is **his friend or his relative,** whom he designated to assist him, and enter the Sanctuary with him. If the incense **was scattered from** the smaller vessel **into** the spoon, the priest accompanying him would **give** the incense **to** the priest burning the incense **in his handfuls. And** the experienced priests would **teach** the priest burning the incense: **Be careful,** because if you are not careful **you might begin** scattering the incense on the side of the altar that is **before you;** rather, start scattering on the far side of the altar, **so** that **you will not be burned** by the burning incense when you are scattering it.


###### Tamid 33a:12
[Tamid 33a:12](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Tamid/r/33a:12)

הִתְחִיל מְרַדְּדָן וְיוֹצֵא. לֹא הָיָה הַמַּקְטִיר מַקְטִיר עַד שֶׁהַמְמוּנֶּה אוֹמֵר לוֹ: הַקְטֵר! וְאִם הָיָה כֹּהֵן גָּדוֹל, הַמְמוּנֶּה אוֹמֵר לוֹ: ״אִישִׁי כֹּהֵן גָּדוֹל, הַקְטֵר״!

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
The priest **began flattening it,** distributing the incense evenly on the coals on the altar, **and** when the Sanctuary would become filled with the smoke of the incense, he would **emerge** from the Sanctuary. The priest **burning** the incense **would not burn** it until **the appointed** priest would **say to him: Burn** the incense. **And if it was the High Priest** who was burning the incense, **the appointed** priest would **say to him** deferentially: **My master,** the **High Priest, burn** the incense.


###### Tamid 33a:13
[Tamid 33a:13](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Tamid/r/33a:13)

פָּרְשׁוּ הָעָם, וְהִקְטִיר וְהִשְׁתַּחֲוָה וְיָצָא.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
It is derived from the verse: “And there shall be no man in the Tent of Meeting when he goes in to make atonement in the Sanctuary, until he comes out” (Leviticus 16:17), that no one may be standing between the Entrance Hall and the outer altar when the priest burns the incense. Therefore, **the people,** i.e., the priests, **left** that area. **And** the priest **burned** the incense on the inner altar **and prostrated** himself **and emerged** from the Sanctuary.
