## Yoma Daf 15b

###### Yoma 15b:1
[Yoma 15b:1](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Yoma/r/15b:1)

אַגּוּפֵיהּ דְּמִזְבֵּחַ, דִּכְתִיב: ״וּכְעֶצֶם הַשָּׁמַיִם לָטֹהַר״.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
Rather, *tohoro* means **on** top of **the altar itself, as it is written: “Like the very sky for purity [*latohar*]”** (Exodus 24:10). *Tohoro* refers to the top of the altar after the ashes of the incense are cleared and the pure gold is visible.


###### Yoma 15b:2
[Yoma 15b:2](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Yoma/r/15b:2)

מַאי שְׁנָא דְּיָהֵיב עוֹלָה בְּרֵישָׁא וַהֲדַר יָהֵיב דְּחַטָּאת? נִיתֵּיב בְּרֵישָׁא דְּחַטָּאת, וַהֲדַר נִיתֵּיב דְּעוֹלָה! כֵּיוָן דְּעוֹלָה הִיא, הִיא קָדְמָה בְּרֵישָׁא.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
The Gemara returns to the opinion of Rabbi Shimon IshHaMitzpa: **What is different that** he says to **sprinkle** in accordance with the procedure of the **burnt-offering first and then sprinkle** in accordance with the procedure **that** is used for the **sin-offering? Let us first sprinkle** in accordance with the procedure **that** is used for the **sin-offering and then let us sprinkle** in accordance with the procedure **that** is used for the **burnt-offering.** The Gemara answers: **Since** the daily offering **is a burnt-offering,** that procedure **takes precedence,** and it is followed by the sin-offering.


###### Yoma 15b:3
[Yoma 15b:3](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Yoma/r/15b:3)

וּמַאי שְׁנָא דְּיָהֵיב מִזְרָחִית צְפוֹנִית, וּמַעֲרָבִית דְּרוֹמִית, נִיתֵּיב דְּרוֹמִית מִזְרָחִית, וַהֲדַר צְפוֹנִית מַעֲרָבִית! אָמְרִי: עוֹלָה טְעוּנָה יְסוֹד, וְקֶרֶן דְּרוֹמִית מִזְרָחִית לָא הֲוָה לֵיהּ יְסוֹד.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
The Gemara asks: **What is different that** he says to **sprinkle** first on the **northeast** corner of the altar **and** then on the **southwest** corner? **Let him sprinkle** first on the **southeast** corner **and then** on the **northwest** corner. The Sages **say:** That is because the blood of the **burnt-offering requires** sprinkling on the side of the altar with **a base,** as it is stated: “On the base of the altar of burnt-offering” (Leviticus 4:18) **and the southeast corner did not have a base.** Therefore, the sprinkling was performed on the northeast corner, where part of the base of the altar was located.


###### Yoma 15b:4
[Yoma 15b:4](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Yoma/r/15b:4)

מַאי שְׁנָא דְּיָהֵיב בְּרֵישָׁא מִזְרָחִית צְפוֹנִית וַהֲדַר מַעֲרָבִית דְּרוֹמִית? נִיתֵּיב בְּרֵישָׁא מַעֲרָבִית דְּרוֹמִית וַהֲדַר מִזְרָחִית צְפוֹנִית! כֵּיוָן דְּאָמַר מָר כׇּל פִּינּוֹת שֶׁאַתָּה פּוֹנֶה — לֹא יְהוּ אֶלָּא דֶּרֶךְ יָמִין לַמִּזְרָח, בְּרֵישָׁא בְּהָהוּא פָּגַע.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
The Gemara asks: **What is different that** he says to **sprinkle** first on the **northeast** corner of the altar **and** then on the **southwest** corner? **Let him sprinkle** first on the **southwest** corner **and then** on the **northeast** corner. The Gemara answers that it is **since the Master said: All turns that you turn should be only to the right.** With regard to certain offerings sacrificed when the priest is on the south side of the altar, he would turn **to the east,** which was to his right. Since the animal to be offered is slaughtered to the north of the altar, he **first** sprinkles blood at the corner that **he encounters** first.


###### Yoma 15b:5
[Yoma 15b:5](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Yoma/r/15b:5)

וּמִמַּאי דִּבְעוֹלָה הוּא דְּקָאָמַר רַחֲמָנָא עֲבֵיד בַּהּ מַעֲשֵׂה חַטָּאת, וְדִילְמָא: בְּחַטָּאת הוּא דְּקָאָמַר רַחֲמָנָא עֲבֵיד בַּהּ מַעֲשֵׂה עוֹלָה! לָא סָלְקָא דַּעְתָּךְ, דִּכְתִיב: ״עַל עוֹלַת הַתָּמִיד יֵעָשֶׂה וְנִסְכּוֹ״, מַאי קָאָמַר רַחֲמָנָא: מִידֵּי דְּחַטָּאת שְׁדִי אַעוֹלָה.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
**And from where** is the conclusion drawn that **the Merciful One says with regard to a burnt-offering to perform it** in accordance with **the procedure of a sin-offering? Perhaps it is with regard to a sin-offering** of the New Moon **that the Merciful One says to perform it** in accordance with **the procedure of a burnt-offering.** The Gemara responds: This can **not enter your mind, as it is written: “It shall be offered aside from the daily burnt-offering and its libation”** (Numbers 28:15). **What is the Merciful One saying? Cast a matter of the sin-offering upon the burnt-offering,** i.e., apply the procedure of the sin-offering to the sacrifice of the burnt-offering.


###### Yoma 15b:6
[Yoma 15b:6](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Yoma/r/15b:6)

תְּנַן הָתָם: אָמַר לָהֶם הַמְמוּנֶּה צְאוּ וְהָבִיאוּ טָלֶה מִלִּשְׁכַּת בֵּית הַטְּלָאִים. וַהֲלֹא, לִשְׁכַּת הַטְּלָאִים הָיְתָה בְּמִקְצוֹעַ צְפוֹנִית מַעֲרָבִית. וְאַרְבַּע לְשָׁכוֹת הָיוּ שָׁם, אַחַת לִשְׁכַּת הַטְּלָאִים, וְאַחַת לִשְׁכַּת הַחוֹתָמוֹת, וְאַחַת לִשְׁכַּת בֵּית הַמּוֹקֵד, וְאַחַת לִשְׁכָּה שֶׁעוֹשִׂין בָּהּ לֶחֶם הַפָּנִים.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
§ Just as the contradiction above was resolved by attributing different sources to different *tanna’im*, the Gemara cites an additional contradiction with a similar resolution. **We learned** in a mishna **there: The appointee,** the deputy High Priest, **said to** the other priests: **Go out and bring a lamb from the Chamber of the Lambs,** where lambs awaiting sacrifice were kept after they underwent inspection and were found to be without blemish. That mishna continues: **The Chamber of the Lambs was** located **in the northwest corner** of the Hall of the Hearth in the Temple courtyard. **And there were four chambers there** in that hall. **One** was **the Chamber of the Lambs, and one** was **the Chamber of the Seals.** In the Temple, seals were dispensed as receipts to individuals who paid for sacrificial animals. The person then showed the seal to a Temple official, who supplied him with an animal. **And one** was **the Chamber of the Hall of the Hearth, and one** was **the chamber where the shewbread was prepared.**


###### Yoma 15b:7
[Yoma 15b:7](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Yoma/r/15b:7)

וּרְמִינְהוּ: אַרְבַּע לְשָׁכוֹת הָיוּ לְבֵית הַמּוֹקֵד, כְּקִטּוֹנִיּוֹת הַפְּתוּחוֹת לַטְּרַקְלִין, שְׁתַּיִם בַּקּוֹדֶשׁ, וּשְׁתַּיִם בַּחוֹל, וְרָאשֵׁי פְּסֵפָסִין מַבְדִּילִין בֵּין קוֹדֶשׁ לַחוֹל. וּמָה הָיוּ מְשַׁמְּשׁוֹת? מַעֲרָבִית דְּרוֹמִית — הִיא הָיְתָה לִשְׁכַּת טְלֵי קׇרְבָּן.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
**And** the Gemara **raises a contradiction** from a mishna in tractate *Middot*: **Four chambers were** open **into the Hall of the Hearth like small** semi-open **rooms [*kitoniyyot*] that open into a** central **hall [*teraklin*]. Two** of these chambers were located in the **sacred** area, in the Temple courtyard, **and two** of the chambers **were** located **in the non-sacred** area of the Temple Mount. **And the tops of** wooden **stakes [*pispasin*]** in the Hall of the Hearth **divided between the sacred** area and the **non-sacred** area to apprise the people in both areas where they were located and what conduct is required. **And what** purpose did these chambers **serve?** The **southwest** chamber **was the Chamber of the Sacrificial Lambs;**
