**בִּזְמַן שֶׁכֹּהֵן גָּדוֹל** נִכְנָס לְהִשְׁתַּחֲוֹת, שְׁלֹשָׁה אוֹחֲזִין בּוֹ: אֶחָד בִּימִינוֹ, וְאֶחָד בִּשְׂמֹאלוֹ, וְאֶחָד בַּאֲבָנִים טוֹבוֹת.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
**MISHNA:** 7:1 After the priests concluded sacrificing the daily morning offering, they would enter the Sanctuary to prostrate themselves. **On occasions when the High Priest** would **enter** the Sanctuary **to prostrate** himself, he would enter before the other priests. When the High Priest enters the Sanctuary, **three** priests **hold him** to assist him and support him, in order to distinguish the service of the High Priest from that of the other priests entering the Sanctuary. **One** priest held **his right** hand **and one** priest held **his left** hand, **and one** priest stood behind the High Priest, holding **onto** the two **precious** onyx **stones** located on the shoulders of the High Priest, on the ephod.

וְכֵיוָן שֶׁשָּׁמַע הַמְמוּנֶּה קוֹל רַגְלָיו שֶׁל כֹּהֵן גָּדוֹל שֶׁהוּא יוֹצֵא, הִגְבִּיהַּ לוֹ אֶת הַפָּרוֹכֶת. נִכְנַס, וְהִשְׁתַּחֲוָה וְיָצָא. נִכְנְסוּ אֶחָיו הַכֹּהֲנִים, הִשְׁתַּחֲווּ וְיָצְאוּ.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
**And once the appointed** priest **heard** the **sound** from the **feet of the High Priest,** produced by the bells attached to the bottom of his robe, he knew **that** the High Priest was **emerging** from the Sanctuary, and he **lifted the curtain** suspended at the opening of the Entrance Hall **for him,** to facilitate his exit. After the High Priest **entered and prostrated** himself **and emerged** from the Sanctuary, **his brethren the priests entered, prostrated** themselves, **and emerged** from the Sanctuary.

בָּאוּ וְעָמְדוּ עַל מַעֲלוֹת הָאוּלָם. עָמְדוּ הָרִאשׁוֹנִים לִדְרוֹם אֲחֵיהֶם הַכֹּהֲנִים, וַחֲמִשָּׁה כֵּלִים בְּיָדָם: הַטְּנִי בְּיַד אֶחָד, וְהַכּוּז בְּיַד אֶחָד, וְהַמַּחְתָּה בְּיַד אֶחָד, וְהַבָּזֵךְ בְּיַד אֶחָד, וְכַף וְכִסּוּיוֹ בְּיַד אֶחָד.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
MISHNA 7:2 After the priests emerged from the Sanctuary, **they came and stood on the** twelve **stairs** before **the Entrance Hall. The first** five priests **stood to** the **south** of **their brethren, the priests,** who had taken the limbs of the daily offering up to the altar. **And** those five priests had **five vessels in their hands: The basket** with the ashes from the inner altar was **in the hands of one** priest; **and the jug** with the ashes from the Candelabrum was **in the hands of one** priest; **and the coal pan** was **in the hands of one** priest; **and the** smaller **vessel,** the bowl that held the incense, was **in the hands of one** priest, who had burned the incense; **and** the **spoon and its cover** were **in the hands of one** priest, the friend or relative of the one who burned the incense.

וּבֵרְכוּ אֶת הָעָם בְּרָכָה אַחַת. אֶלָּא שֶׁבַּמְּדִינָה אוֹמְרִים אוֹתָהּ שָׁלֹשׁ בְּרָכוֹת, וּבַמִּקְדָּשׁ בְּרָכָה אַחַת. בַּמִּקְדָּשׁ הָיוּ אוֹמְרִים אֶת הַשֵּׁם כִּכְתָבוֹ, וּבַמְּדִינָה בְּכִנּוּיוֹ.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
The priests placed their vessels on the ground **and** then **blessed the people,** reciting **one blessing.** The Priestly Benediction was recited outside the Temple as well, **but** in the Temple, it was recited differently, **as in** the rest of **the country** the priests would **recite it** as **three blessings,** and the listeners would answer amen after each blessing. **But in the Temple** they would recite it as **one blessing,** and the listeners would not respond to each blessing. Rather, at the conclusion of the entire Priestly Benediction they would answer: Blessed are You Lord, God of Israel, from everlasting to everlasting. **In the Temple,** the priests **would recite the name** of God **as it is written,** with the letters *yod*, *heh*, *vav*, *heh*, whereas **in** the rest of **the country** the priests would recite the name of God **by His appellation,** *alef*, *dalet*, *nun*, *yod*.

בַּמְּדִינָה – הַכֹּהֲנִים נוֹשְׂאִים אֶת יְדֵיהֶם כְּנֶגֶד כִּתְפֵיהֶם, וּבַמִּקְדָּשׁ – עַל גַּבֵּי רָאשֵׁיהֶן. חוּץ מִכֹּהֵן גָּדוֹל, שֶׁאֵין מַגְבִּיהַּ אֶת יָדָיו לְמַעְלָה מִן הַצִּיץ. רַבִּי יְהוּדָה אוֹמֵר: אַף כֹּהֵן גָּדוֹל מַגְבִּיהַּ אֶת יָדָיו לְמַעְלָה מִן הַצִּיץ, שֶׁנֶּאֱמַר: ״וַיִּשָּׂא אַהֲרֹן אֶת יָדָיו אֶל הָעָם וַיְבָרְכֵם״.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
Furthermore, **in** the rest of **the country,** while reciting the Priestly Benediction **the priests lift their hands opposite their shoulders, and in the Temple** they raise them **above their heads.** That is the *halakha* with regard to all priests in the Temple, **except for** the **High Priest, who does not raise his hands above the frontplate** on his forehead, as the name of God is written on the frontplate. **Rabbi Yehuda says: Even** the **High Priest** would **raise his hands above the frontplate** while reciting the Priestly Benediction in the Temple, **as it is stated** with regard to the Priestly Benediction recited by Aaron the High Priest: **“And Aaron lifted his hands toward the people and blessed them”** (Leviticus 9:22).

בִּזְמַן שֶׁכֹּהֵן גָּדוֹל רוֹצֶה לְהַקְטִיר, הָיָה עוֹלֶה בַּכֶּבֶשׁ, וְהַסְּגָן בִּימִינוֹ. הִגִּיעַ לְמַחֲצִית הַכֶּבֶשׁ, אָחַז הַסְּגָן בִּימִינוֹ וְהֶעֱלָהוּ.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
MISHNA 7:3 The High Priest is entitled to sacrifice any offering brought to the Temple, at his discretion. **When the High Priest wishes to burn** the limbs of the daily offering and the accompanying meal offering, he **would ascend the ramp** to the altar, **and the deputy** High Priest would walk **to his right.** When he **reached half** the height of **the ramp, the Deputy** would **hold his right** hand **and take him up** to the altar at the top of the ramp.

וְהוֹשִׁיט לוֹ הָרִאשׁוֹן הָרֹאשׁ וְהָרֶגֶל, וְסָמַךְ עֲלֵיהֶן, וּזְרָקָן. הוֹשִׁיט הַשֵּׁנִי לָרִאשׁוֹן שְׁתֵּי הַיָּדַיִם, נוֹתְנָן לְכֹהֵן גָּדוֹל, וְסָמַךְ עֲלֵיהֶן, וּזְרָקָן. נִשְׁמַט הַשֵּׁנִי וְהָלַךְ לוֹ. וְכָךְ הָיוּ מוֹשִׁיטִין לוֹ שְׁאָר כׇּל הָאֵבָרִין, וְהוּא סוֹמֵךְ עֲלֵיהֶן וְזוֹרְקָן. וּבִזְמַן שֶׁהוּא רוֹצֶה – הוּא סוֹמֵךְ, וַאֲחֵרִים זוֹרְקִין.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
**And the first** of the nine priests who took the limbs up to the altar **handed** the High Priest **the head and the hind leg** of the offering, **and** the High Priest **placed his hands upon them and** then **threw them** onto the altar fire. Next **the second** of the nine priests **handed the two forelegs** of the offering **to the first** priest. He **gave them to the High Priest,** who **placed his hands upon them and** then **threw them** onto the altar fire. At that point, **the second** priest **slipped away and left. And** in **that** manner the priests **would hand** the High Priest **the rest of all the limbs, and he** would **place his hands upon them and** then **throw them** onto the altar fire. **And when he wishes, he places his hands and others throw** the limbs onto the fire.

בָּא לוֹ לְהַקִּיף אֶת הַמִּזְבֵּחַ, מֵהֵיכָן הוּא מַתְחִיל – מִקֶּרֶן דְּרוֹמִית מִזְרָחִית, מִזְרָחִית צְפוֹנִית, צְפוֹנִית מַעֲרָבִית, מַעֲרָבִית דְּרוֹמִית. נָתְנוּ לוֹ יַיִן לְנַסֵּךְ.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
When the High Priest, who was at the top of the ramp on the south side of the altar, **came to circle the altar** to reach the southwestern corner, where he would pour the libation of wine, **from where does he begin?** He begins **from the southeastern corner** and continues to the **northeastern** corner, then to the **northwestern** corner, and ultimately reaches the **southwestern** corner. At that point, the priests **gave him wine to pour.**

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
**The Deputy stands** at the High Priest’s side **at the corner** of the altar **and the cloths** are **in his hand,** so that he can wave them to signal to the Levites to begin singing when the High Priest pours the libation. **Two priests stand at the** marble **table of the fats,** where the limbs and fats were placed before being taken to the altar, **and** there were **two** silver **trumpets in their hands.** These two priests **sounded a *tekia*,** a long continuous blast; they then **sounded a *terua*,** a series of staccato blasts; **and** lastly they **sounded** another ***tekia*** to alert the Levites to prepare to recite the psalm.

בָּאוּ וְעָמְדוּ אֵצֶל בֶּן אַרְזָא, אֶחָד מִימִינוֹ וְאֶחָד מִשְּׂמֹאלוֹ. שָׁחָה לְנַסֵּךְ, וְהֵנִיף הַסְּגָן בַּסּוּדָרִים, וְהִקִּישׁ בֶּן אַרְזָא בַּצִּלְצָל, וְדִבְּרוּ הַלְוִיִּם בַּשִּׁיר. הִגִּיעוּ לַפֶּרֶק, תָּקְעוּ, וְהִשְׁתַּחֲווּ הָעָם. עַל כׇּל פֶּרֶק – תְּקִיעָה, וְעַל כׇּל תְּקִיעָה – הִשְׁתַּחֲוָיָה. זֶהוּ סֵדֶר הַתָּמִיד לַעֲבוֹדַת בֵּית אֱלֹהֵינוּ, יְהִי רָצוֹן שֶׁיִּבָּנֶה בִּמְהֵרָה בְּיָמֵינוּ, אָמֵן.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
The priests with the trumpets **came and stood near ben Arza,** the title given to the person who was tasked with striking the cymbals, **one to his right and one to his left.** Then the High Priest **stooped to pour** the libation, **and the Deputy waved the cloths, and ben Arza struck the cymbals, and the Levites recited the psalm** of that day of the week. Each psalm was divided into three sections. Whenever the Levites **reached the** end of one **section** of the psalm, the priests **sounded a *tekia*, and the people** in the courtyard **prostrated** themselves. **At** the end of **each section** there was **a *tekia*, and for every *tekia*** there was **a prostration. That is the procedure for** the sacrifice of **the daily offering in the service of the House of our God; may it be** His **will that it will be speedily rebuilt in our day, amen.**

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
MISHNA 7:4 The following is a list of each daily **psalm that the Levites would recite in the Temple. On the first day** of the week **they would recite** the psalm beginning: “A psalm of David. **The earth is the Lord’s and all it contains, the world and all who live in it”** (Psalms, chapter 24). **On the second** day **they would recite** the psalm beginning: “A song; a psalm of the sons of Korah. **Great is the Lord and highly to be praised in the city of God, on His sacred mountain”** (Psalms, chapter 48). **On the third** day **they would recite** the psalm beginning: “A psalm of Asaph. **God stands in the divine assembly; among the judges He delivers judgment”** (Psalms, chapter 82). **On the fourth** day **they would recite** the psalm beginning: **“O Lord God, to Whom vengeance belongs, God to Whom vengeance belongs, shine forth”** (Psalms, chapter 94). **On the fifth** day **they would recite** the psalm beginning: “For the leader; upon the Gittith, a psalm of Asaph. **Sing for joy to God, our strength; shout aloud to the God of Jacob”** (Psalms, chapter 81). **On the sixth** day **they would recite** the psalm beginning: **“The Lord reigns: He is robed in majesty; the Lord is robed,** girded with strength” (Psalms, chapter 93). **On Shabbat they would recite** the psalm beginning: **“A psalm, a song for Shabbat day”** (Psalms, chapter 92).
