[Yoma 14b:1](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Yoma/r/14b:1)

רָאשֵׁי גִבְעוֹלִין וְיַזֶּה. אַבָּיֵי אָמַר: אֲפִילּוּ תֵּימָא רַבִּי עֲקִיבָא, דְּעָבֵיד עֲבוֹדָה כּוּלֵּיהּ יוֹמָא, וּלְפַנְיָא מַדּוּ עֲלֵיהּ, וְטָבֵיל וְעָבֵיד הֶעֱרֵב הַשֶּׁמֶשׁ.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
**the tops of the stems** of the hyssop branch into the water **and sprinkle it.** Apparently, even according to the one who said that there is no minimum measure of water for sprinkling there is a minimum measure of water that must be in the vessel. **Abaye said: Even** if **you say** that the mishna is in accordance with the opinion of **Rabbi Akiva,** who said that the purification water impurifies the pure, the difficulty can be resolved: The High Priest **performs the** Temple **service** for **the entire day** on each of the seven days of sequestering, **and toward the evening** the priests **sprinkle** the purification water **upon him.** Even if he was pure and the sprinkling rendered him impure, he **immerses** immediately **and observes** the requirement to wait **until sunset,** at which point he is purified and prepared to serve the next day.


###### Yoma 14b:2
[Yoma 14b:2](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Yoma/r/14b:2)

וּמַקְטִיר אֶת הַקְּטוֹרֶת וּמֵטִיב אֶת הַנֵּרוֹת. אַלְמָא קְטוֹרֶת בְּרֵישָׁא וַהֲדַר נֵרוֹת. וּרְמִינְהוּ: מִי שֶׁזָּכָה בְּדִישּׁוּן מִזְבֵּחַ הַפְּנִימִי, וּמִי שֶׁזָּכָה בַּמְּנוֹרָה, וּמִי שֶׁזָּכָה בַּקְּטוֹרֶת!

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
§ The mishna teaches that on each of the seven days the High Priest **burns the incense and removes** the ashes from **the lamps. Apparently, incense** is burned **first, and then the lamps** are cleaned. **And** the Gemara **raises a contradiction** from a mishna in tractate *Tamid* that discusses the lottery in which the priests performing the various tasks that constitute the morning Temple service are selected. That mishna first mentions the one **who was privileged** to be selected to perform **removal of the ashes from the inner altar,** and then **the one who was privileged** to be selected to remove the ashes from the lamps of **the candelabrum,** and only then does it deal with **the one who is privileged** to be selected to burn **the incense.** According to that mishna, removing ashes from the candelabrum precedes the burning of the incense.


###### Yoma 14b:3
[Yoma 14b:3](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Yoma/r/14b:3)

אָמַר רַב הוּנָא: מַאן תָּנָא תָּמִיד, רַבִּי שִׁמְעוֹן אִישׁ הַמִּצְפָּה הוּא. וְהָא אִיפְּכָא שָׁמְעִינַן לֵיהּ, דִּתְנַן: בָּא לוֹ לְקֶרֶן מִזְרָחִית צְפוֹנִית — נוֹתֵן מִזְרָחָה צָפוֹנָה, מַעֲרָבִית דְּרוֹמִית — נוֹתֵן מַעֲרָבָה דָּרוֹמָה.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
**Rav Huna said: Who is** the *tanna* who **taught** the *mishnayot* in tractate ***Tamid*? It is Rabbi Shimon Ish HaMitzpa,** who disagrees with the *tanna* of the mishna here. The Gemara asks: **But didn’t we learn the opposite, as we learned** in the mishna in tractate *Tamid*: The priest sprinkles the blood of the daily offering on the altar. **He comes to the northeast corner** of the altar and **sprinkles** once on the **northeast** corner. From there he proceeds to the **southwest corner** and **sprinkles** once on the **southwest** corner.


###### Yoma 14b:4
[Yoma 14b:4](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Yoma/r/14b:4)

וְתָנֵי עֲלַהּ, רַבִּי שִׁמְעוֹן אִישׁ הַמִּצְפָּה מְשַׁנֶּה בַּתָּמִיד: מִזְרָחִית צְפוֹנִית — נוֹתֵן מִזְרָחָה צָפוֹנָה. מַעֲרָבִית דְּרוֹמִית — נוֹתֵן מַעֲרָבָה, וְאַחַר כָּךְ נוֹתֵן דָּרוֹמָה.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
**And it was taught** in the *Tosefta* **concerning** this mishna: **Rabbi Shimon Ish HaMitzpa changes the** sprinkling of the blood of the **daily offering** relative to the sprinkling of blood of all other burnt-offerings. He agrees with the first *tanna* with regard to the first sprinkling of the blood; the priest comes to the **northeast** corner and **sprinkles** once on the **northeast** corner. However, when he proceeds to the **southwest** corner he does not sprinkle once as he would when offering a burnt-offering; rather, **he sprinkles** on the **west** side of the altar **and then sprinkles** on the **south** side. Since the disputing opinion is that of Rabbi Shimon Ish HaMitzpa, apparently the unattributed opinions in the *mishnayot* in tractate *Tamid* are not the opinions of Rabbi Shimon Ish HaMitzpa.


###### Yoma 14b:5
[Yoma 14b:5](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Yoma/r/14b:5)

אֶלָּא אָמַר רַבִּי יוֹחָנָן: מַאן תְּנָא סֵדֶר יוֹמָא — רַבִּי שִׁמְעוֹן אִישׁ הַמִּצְפָּה הוּא.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
**Rather,** there must be a different resolution to the contradiction between the mishna here and the one in tractate *Tamid*. **Rabbi Yoḥanan said: Who** is the *tanna* who **taught** the Yom Kippur service in **tractate *Yoma*? It is Rabbi Shimon Ish HaMitzpa,** and tractate *Tamid* is in accordance with the opinion of the Rabbis who disagree with him.


###### Yoma 14b:6
[Yoma 14b:6](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Yoma/r/14b:6)

וּרְמִי סֵדֶר יוֹמָא אַסֵּדֶר יוֹמָא, דִּתְנַן: פַּיִיס הַשֵּׁנִי — מִי שׁוֹחֵט, מִי זוֹרֵק, מִי מְדַשֵּׁן מִזְבֵּחַ הַפְּנִימִי, וּמִי מְדַשֵּׁן אֶת הַמְנוֹרָה, וּמִי מַעֲלֶה אֵבָרִים לַכֶּבֶשׁ. פַּיִיס הַשְּׁלִישִׁי — חֲדָשִׁים לַקְּטוֹרֶת בּוֹאוּ וְהָפִיסוּ!

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
The Gemara **raises a contradiction** from one mishna in **tractate *Yoma* against** another mishna in **tractate *Yoma*, as we learned** in a mishna: **The second lottery** conducted daily among the priests determined the following: **Who slaughters** the daily morning offering; **who sprinkles** its blood; **who removes the ashes** from **the inner altar; and who removes the ashes** and burnt wicks from **the candelabrum; and who takes the limbs** of the daily offering **up to the ramp** to be burned later. Following the second lottery the priests dispersed, and they later reconvened for **the third lottery.** Before the third lottery, the appointee declared: Let only those priests who are **new to** offering **the incense** come and **participate in the lottery** for the incense. Apparently, removing the ashes from the lamps of the candelabrum preceded the burning of the incense, which contradicts the mishna here.


###### Yoma 14b:7
[Yoma 14b:7](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Yoma/r/14b:7)

אָמַר אַבָּיֵי, לָא קַשְׁיָא: כָּאן בַּהֲטָבַת שְׁתֵּי נֵרוֹת, כָּאן בַּהֲטָבַת חָמֵשׁ נֵרוֹת.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
**Abaye said:** This is **not difficult. Here,** the mishna is discussing **the removal** of the ashes from **two lamps,** which is performed after the burning of the incense; **there,** the mishna of the lotteries is discussing **the removal** of the ashes from **five lamps,** which precedes the burning of the incense. As will be explained, the priest attends to five lamps first, and after a break, he attends to the final two lamps.


###### Yoma 14b:8
[Yoma 14b:8](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Yoma/r/14b:8)

לְמֵימְרָא דְּבִקְטוֹרֶת מַפְסֵיק לְהוּ? וְהָא אַבָּיֵי מְסַדֵּר מַעֲרָכָה מִשְּׁמֵיהּ דִּגְמָרָא, בְּדַם הַתָּמִיד מַפְסֵיק לְהוּ! אָמְרִי, לָא קַשְׁיָא: הָהִיא לְאַבָּא שָׁאוּל, הָא לְרַבָּנַן. דְּתַנְיָא: לֹא יֵיטִיב אֶת הַנֵּרוֹת וְאַחַר כָּךְ יַקְטִיר, אֶלָּא יַקְטִיר וְאַחַר כָּךְ יֵיטִיב. אַבָּא שָׁאוּל אוֹמֵר: מֵטִיב, וְאַחַר כָּךְ מַקְטִיר.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
The Gemara asks: **Is that to say that the** burning of the **incense interposes** between attending to the first five lamps and attending the last two? **But** when **Abaye related the order of the** daily **priestly functions in the name of tradition, didn’t** he state that it was the sprinkling of **the blood of the daily offering that interposed between** the five lamps and the two, not the burning of the incense? The Sages **say** in response: This is **not difficult. That** sequence cited by Abaye is in accordance with the opinion of **Abba Shaul,** whereas **this** sequence cited in the mishna is in accordance with the opinion of **the Rabbis, as it was taught** in a *baraita*: **One** should **not remove** the ashes from **the lamps and then burn** the incense; **rather one should burn** the incense **and then remove** the ashes from the lamps. **Abba Shaul says: One removes** the ashes from the lamps **and then burns** the incense. The different sources reflect the dispute cited in the *baraita*.


###### Yoma 14b:9
[Yoma 14b:9](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Yoma/r/14b:9)

מַאי טַעְמָא דְּאַבָּא שָׁאוּל? דִּכְתִיב: ״בַּבֹּקֶר בַּבֹּקֶר בְּהֵיטִיבוֹ אֶת הַנֵּרוֹת״, וַהֲדַר ״יַקְטִירֶנָּה״. וְרַבָּנַן? מַאי קָאָמַר רַחֲמָנָא:

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
The Gemara asks: **What is the rationale** for the opinion of **Abba Shaul?** It is **as it is written: “Every morning when he removes the ashes from the lamps,** he shall burn it” (Exodus 30:7), **and then** it is written: **“He shall burn it”** (Exodus 30:8). First the lamps are cleaned, and only then is the incense burned. **And** how do **the Rabbis,** who hold that the incense was burned first, interpret this verse? They say: **What is the Merciful One saying?**
