## Yoma Daf 61a

###### Yoma 61a:1
[Yoma 61a:1](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Yoma/r/61a:1)

בִּקְטוֹרֶת לָא קָא מַיְירֵי.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
The Gemara answers that this is no proof, as **he is not dealing with the incense.** In practice, the High Priest must indeed go back and scoop new incense after slaughtering the bull. The mishna did not mention this detail because it is discussing the issue of the sprinkling of blood, not the incense service.


###### Yoma 61a:2
[Yoma 61a:2](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Yoma/r/61a:2)

אָמַר עוּלָּא: שָׂעִיר שֶׁשְּׁחָטוֹ קוֹדֶם מַתַּן דָּמוֹ שֶׁל פַּר — לֹא עָשָׂה וְלֹא כְלוּם. תְּנַן: הִקְדִּים דַּם הַשָּׂעִיר לְדַם הַפָּר — יַחְזוֹר וְיַזֶּה מִדַּם הַשָּׂעִיר אַחַר דַּם הַפָּר. וְאִם אִיתָא — יַחְזוֹר וְיִשְׁחוֹט מִבְּעֵי לֵיהּ! תַּרְגְּמָא עוּלָּא, בְּמַתָּנוֹת שֶׁבַּהֵיכָל. וְכֵן אָמַר רַבִּי אַפָּס, בְּמַתָּנוֹת שֶׁבַּהֵיכָל.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
§ **Ulla said:** With regard to **a goat that he slaughtered before presentation of the blood of the bull,** it is as though **he did nothing.** The Gemara asks: But **we learned** in the mishna that if **he performed** the sprinkling of **the blood of the goat before** the sprinkling of **the blood of the bull, he** must **repeat** the action **and sprinkle the blood of the goat after** sprinkling **the blood of the bull. And if it is so** that Ulla is correct, the mishna **should have said** that **he must return and slaughter** another bull. The Gemara answers: **Ulla interpreted** the mishna as referring only **to the presentations in the Sanctuary** that were performed out of order. However, it is essential that the presentations in the Holy of Holies must be performed before the slaughter of the goat. **And likewise, Rabbi Afes said** that the mishna is referring **to the presentations in the Sanctuary.**


###### Yoma 61a:3
[Yoma 61a:3](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Yoma/r/61a:3)

וְכֵן בַּהֵיכָל וְכֵן בַּמִּזְבֵּחַ וְכוּ׳. תָּנוּ רַבָּנַן: ״וְכִפֶּר אֶת מִקְדַּשׁ הַקּוֹדֶשׁ״ — זֶה לִפְנַי וְלִפְנִים, ״אֹהֶל מוֹעֵד״ — זֶה הֵיכָל, ״מִזְבֵּחַ״ — כְּמַשְׁמָעוֹ, ״יְכַפֵּר״ — אֵלּוּ עֲזָרוֹת.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
§ The mishna states: **And similarly in the Sanctuary, and likewise on the golden altar,** if the blood spills he must go back and begin that cycle of sprinklings afresh. **The Sages taught:** “And he shall make atonement for the most sacred place, and he shall make atonement for the Tent of Meeting and for the altar; and he shall make atonement for the priests and for all the people of the assembly” (Leviticus 16:33). **“And he shall make atonement for the most sacred place,” this is the innermost sanctum,** the Holy of Holies; **“the Tent of Meeting,” this is the Sanctuary; “altar”** is meant **as per its plain meaning; “he shall make atonement,” is** referring to the second mention of this phrase in the verse, **these are the courtyards.**


###### Yoma 61a:4
[Yoma 61a:4](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Yoma/r/61a:4)

״הַכֹּהֲנִים״ — כְּמַשְׁמָעָן, ״עַם הַקָּהָל״ — אֵלּוּ יִשְׂרָאֵל, ״יְכַפֵּר״ — אֵלּוּ הַלְוִיִּם. הוּשְׁווּ כּוּלָּן לְכַפָּרָה אַחַת, שֶׁכּוּלָּן מִתְכַּפְּרִין בְּשָׂעִיר הַמִּשְׁתַּלֵּחַ בִּשְׁאָר עֲבֵירוֹת, דִּבְרֵי רַבִּי יְהוּדָה.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
**“The priests”** is meant **as per its plain meaning; “people of the assembly,” these are the Israelites; “he shall make atonement,” these are the Levites,** who also gain atonement. **They are all equated** in this verse **in** that they achieve **one atonement** in this verse, which indicates **that they all achieve atonement through the scapegoat** for all **other transgressions,** apart from the ritual impurity of the Temple and consecrated objects, i.e., entering the Temple or eating consecrated food while ritually impure. The bull presented inside atones only for the priests, while the goats atone solely for Israelites. Only the scapegoat atones equally for all Jews. This is **the statement of Rabbi Yehuda.**


###### Yoma 61a:5
[Yoma 61a:5](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Yoma/r/61a:5)

רַבִּי שִׁמְעוֹן אוֹמֵר: כְּשֵׁם שֶׁדַּם הַשָּׂעִיר הַנַּעֲשֶׂה בִּפְנִים מְכַפֵּר עַל יִשְׂרָאֵל בְּטוּמְאַת מִקְדָּשׁ וְקָדָשָׁיו — כָּךְ דַּם הַפָּר מְכַפֵּר עַל הַכֹּהֲנִים בְּטוּמְאַת מִקְדָּשׁ וְקָדָשָׁיו. וּכְשֵׁם שֶׁוִּידּוּי שֶׁל שָׂעִיר הַמִּשְׁתַּלֵּחַ מְכַפֵּר עַל יִשְׂרָאֵל בִּשְׁאָר עֲבֵירוֹת — כָּךְ וִידּוּי שֶׁל פָּר מְכַפֵּר עַל הַכֹּהֲנִים בִּשְׁאָר עֲבֵירוֹת.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
**Rabbi Shimon says: Just as the blood of the goat presented inside atones for Israelites** who sinned **with the ritual impurity of the Temple and its consecrated objects, so too, the blood of the** High Priest’s **bull atones for the priests** who sinned **with the ritual impurity of the Temple and its consecrated objects. And just as the confession over the scapegoat atones for Israelites with regard to all other transgressions, so too, the confession over the bull atones for the priests with regard to all other transgressions,** and therefore the priests do not require atonement through the scapegoat.


###### Yoma 61a:6
[Yoma 61a:6](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Yoma/r/61a:6)

תָּנוּ רַבָּנַן: ״וְכִלָּה מִכַּפֵּר אֶת הַקּוֹדֶשׁ״ — זֶה לִפְנַי וְלִפְנִים, ״אֹהֶל מוֹעֵד״ — זֶה הֵיכָל, ״מִזְבֵּחַ״ — כְּמַשְׁמָעוֹ, מְלַמֵּד שֶׁכּוּלָּן כַּפָּרָה כַּפָּרָה בִּפְנֵי עַצְמָן.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
**The Sages taught** in another *baraita*: “And when he has finished atoning for the sacred place, and the Tent of Meeting, and the altar, he shall present the live goat” (Leviticus 16:20). **“And when he has finished atoning for the sacred place,” this is** the sprinklings in **the innermost sanctum,** the Holy of Holies; **“Tent of Meeting,” this is the** sprinklings toward the curtain in the **Sanctuary; “altar,” as per its plain meaning.** This **teaches that they each** constitute **a separate atonement unto themselves,** i.e., each one of these actions achieves a distinct atonement. If a disqualification occurs in any of the atoning actions, he must return to the beginning of that action.


###### Yoma 61a:7
[Yoma 61a:7](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Yoma/r/61a:7)

מִכָּאן אָמְרוּ: נָתַן מִקְצָת מַתָּנוֹת שֶׁבִּפְנִים וְנִשְׁפַּךְ הַדָּם — יָבִיא דָּם אַחֵר וְיַתְחִיל בַּתְּחִלָּה בְּמַתָּנוֹת שֶׁבִּפְנִים. רַבִּי אֶלְעָזָר וְרַבִּי שִׁמְעוֹן אוֹמְרִים: אֵינוֹ מַתְחִיל אֶלָּא מִמָּקוֹם שֶׁפָּסַק. גָּמַר אֶת הַמַּתָּנוֹת שֶׁבִּפְנִים וְנִשְׁפַּךְ הַדָּם — יָבִיא דָּם אַחֵר וְיַתְחִיל בַּתְּחִילָּה בְּמַתָּנוֹת שֶׁבַּהֵיכָל.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
**From here** the Sages **stated:** If the High Priest **presented some of the presentations inside** the Holy of Holies **and** then **the blood spilled, he brings other blood and begins from the start of the presentations inside. Rabbi Elazar and Rabbi Shimon say:** He need not start the cycle of sprinklings again; rather, **he begins only from the place where he stopped.** If **he finished the presentations inside and** then **the blood spilled, he brings other blood and starts at the beginning of the presentations in the Sanctuary.** However, he does not begin the presentations inside anew, as he has already sprinkled all the required blood inside, and that stage of the service is complete.


###### Yoma 61a:8
[Yoma 61a:8](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Yoma/r/61a:8)

נָתַן מִקְצָת מַתָּנוֹת שֶׁבַּהֵיכָל וְנִשְׁפַּךְ הַדָּם — יָבִיא דָּם אַחֵר וְיַתְחִיל בַּתְּחִילָּה בַּהֵיכָל. רַבִּי אֶלְעָזָר וְרַבִּי שִׁמְעוֹן אוֹמְרִים: אֵינוֹ מַתְחִיל אֶלָּא מִמָּקוֹם שֶׁפָּסַק.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
If **he presented some of the presentations in the Sanctuary and the blood spilled, he brings other blood and begins** again **from the start in the Sanctuary,** as he has not yet completed all the sprinklings in the Sanctuary. **Rabbi Elazar and Rabbi Shimon say: He begins only from the place where he stopped.**


###### Yoma 61a:9
[Yoma 61a:9](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Yoma/r/61a:9)

גָּמַר מַתָּנוֹת שֶׁבַּהֵיכָל וְנִשְׁפַּךְ הַדָּם — יָבִיא דָּם אַחֵר וְיַתְחִיל בַּתְּחִילָּה בְּמַתְּנוֹת הַמִּזְבֵּחַ. נָתַן מִקְצָת מַתָּנוֹת שֶׁבַּמִּזְבֵּחַ וְנִשְׁפַּךְ הַדָּם — יָבִיא דָּם אַחֵר וְיַתְחִיל בַּתְּחִילָּה בְּמַתְּנוֹת הַמִּזְבֵּחַ. רַבִּי אֶלְעָזָר וְרַבִּי שִׁמְעוֹן אוֹמְרִים: מִמָּקוֹם שֶׁפָּסַק הוּא מַתְחִיל. גָּמַר מַתָּנוֹת שֶׁבַּמִּזְבֵּחַ וְנִשְׁפַּךְ הַדָּם — דִּבְרֵי הַכֹּל לָא מְעַכְּבִי.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
If **he finished the presentations in the Sanctuary and the blood spilled, he brings other blood and begins at the start of the presentations at the altar,** as he has already achieved the atonement of the sprinklings in the Sanctuary. If **he presented some of the presentations at the altar and the blood spilled, he brings other blood and begins at the start of the presentations at the altar,** as the atonement of the altar has yet not been completed. In this case, too, **Rabbi Elazar and Rabbi Shimon say** that **he begins from the place where he stopped.** If **he finished the presentations at the altar and the blood spilled** before he poured the remainder of the blood at the base of the outer altar, **everyone agrees** that the remainders **are not indispensable,** and he need not slaughter another offering for this mitzva.


###### Yoma 61a:10
[Yoma 61a:10](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Yoma/r/61a:10)

אָמַר רַבִּי יוֹחָנָן: וּשְׁנֵיהֶם מִקְרָא אֶחָד דָּרְשׁוּ: ״מִדַּם חַטַּאת הַכִּפּוּרִים אַחַת בַּשָּׁנָה״,

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
**Rabbi Yoḥanan said: And both of them,** meaning the first *tanna*, i.e., Rabbi Meir, the accepted author of unattributed *mishnayot*, Rabbi Elazar, and Rabbi Shimon, **derived** their opinions **from one verse:** “And Aaron shall make atonement upon its corners once a year; **with the blood of the sin-offering of atonement once a year** he shall make atonement for it throughout your generations; it is most sacred to the Lord” (Exodus 30:10).


###### Yoma 61a:11
[Yoma 61a:11](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Yoma/r/61a:11)

רַבִּי מֵאִיר סָבַר: חַטָּאת אַחַת אָמַרְתִּי לָךְ, וְלֹא שְׁתֵּי חַטָּאוֹת. רַבִּי אֶלְעָזָר וְרַבִּי שִׁמְעוֹן סָבְרִי: חִטּוּי אֶחָד אָמַרְתִּי לָךְ, וְלֹא שְׁנֵי חִטּוּיִין.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
Rabbi Yoḥanan elaborates: **Rabbi Meir holds** that God said: **I said to you** to bring **one sin-offering and not two sin-offerings.** In other words, the High Priest may not sprinkle the blood of two offerings on the inner altar. Consequently, if the blood of the sin-offering spilled in the middle of the rite, he may not complete the presentation with the blood of another animal; rather, he must slaughter new offerings so that he can present all the sprinklings at the altar from one sin-offering. **Rabbi Elazar and Rabbi Shimon hold** that God said: **I said to you** to perform **one sprinkling and not two sprinklings.** If he already sprinkled once, the High Priest need not sprinkle again, and if the blood spilled in the middle, the rite is completed with the blood of another offering.


###### Yoma 61a:12
[Yoma 61a:12](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Yoma/r/61a:12)

תַּנְיָא, אָמַר רַבִּי: לִי חִלֵּק רַבִּי יַעֲקֹב בַּלּוּגִּין.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
§ **It was taught** in a *baraita* that **Rabbi** Yehuda HaNasi **said: Rabbi Ya’akov differentiated for me** with respect **to *lugin*.** In other words, Rabbi Ya’akov said that although Rabbi Elazar and Rabbi Shimon disagree with Rabbi Meir with respect to the sprinkling on Yom Kippur, maintaining that the High Priest restarts from where he stopped, if some of the oil from the *log* used for purifying the leper spills in the middle of the sprinkling, these *tanna’im* do not disagree that the priest must start that rite afresh.


###### Yoma 61a:13
[Yoma 61a:13](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Yoma/r/61a:13)

וְלֹא? וְהָתַנְיָא: נָתַן מִקְצָת מַתָּנוֹת שֶׁבִּפְנִים וְנִשְׁפַּךְ הַלּוֹג — יָבִיא לוֹג אַחֵר וְיַתְחִיל בַּתְּחִילָּה בְּמַתָּנוֹת שֶׁבַּהֵיכָל. רַבִּי אֶלְעָזָר וְרַבִּי שִׁמְעוֹן אוֹמְרִים: מִמָּקוֹם שֶׁפָּסַק הוּא מַתְחִיל.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
The Gemara expresses surprise at this claim: **And** do they **not** disagree with regard to this issue as well? **But wasn’t it taught** explicitly in a *baraita*: If **he presented some of the presentations** of oil **that** he sprinkles **inside** the Temple **and the *log* spilled, he brings another *log* and begins from the start of the presentations in the Sanctuary;** and **Rabbi Elazar and Rabbi Shimon say: He begins from the place where he stopped.**


###### Yoma 61a:14
[Yoma 61a:14](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Yoma/r/61a:14)

גָּמַר מַתָּנוֹת שֶׁבַּהֵיכָל וְנִשְׁפַּךְ הַלּוֹג — יָבִיא לוֹג אַחֵר וְיַתְחִיל בַּתְּחִילָּה בְּמַתָּנוֹת שֶׁבַּבְּהוֹנוֹת. נָתַן מִקְצָת מַתָּנוֹת בַּבְּהוֹנוֹת וְנִשְׁפַּךְ הַלּוֹג — יָבִיא לוֹג [אַחֵר] וְיַתְחִיל בַּתְּחִילָּה בְּמַתָּנוֹת שֶׁבַּבְּהוֹנוֹת. רַבִּי אֶלְעָזָר וְרַבִּי שִׁמְעוֹן אוֹמְרִים: מִמָּקוֹם שֶׁפָּסַק הוּא מַתְחִיל. גָּמַר מַתָּנוֹת שֶׁבַּבְּהוֹנוֹת וְנִשְׁפַּךְ הַלּוֹג — דִּבְרֵי הַכֹּל מַתְּנוֹת הָרֹאשׁ לָא מְעַכְּבוֹת.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
Likewise, if **he finished the presentations in the Sanctuary and the *log* spilled, he brings another *log* and begins from the start of the presentations** that he puts on **the thumbs** of the leper. If **he put some of the presentations on** the leper’s **thumbs and the *log* spilled, he brings another *log* and begins from the start of the presentations on** his **thumbs. Rabbi Elazar and Rabbi Shimon say: He begins from the place where he stopped.** If **he finished the presentations on his thumbs and the *log* spilled, everyone agrees** that **the presentations on the head are not indispensable.** This *baraita* proves that Rabbi Elazar and Rabbi Shimon also disagree with Rabbi Meir with regard to the purifying oil of the leper.


###### Yoma 61a:15
[Yoma 61a:15](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Yoma/r/61a:15)

אֵימָא: לִי שָׁנָה רַבִּי יַעֲקֹב בַּלּוּגִּין.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
The Gemara answers: Rather, Rabbi Yehuda HaNasi’s statement must be amended, as one should **say: Rabbi Ya’akov taught me** this dispute **with regard to *lugin*.** Just as there is a dispute with regard to spilled blood during the presentations on Yom Kippur, Rabbi Ya’akov taught that a similar dispute applies to the leper’s *log* of oil.


###### Yoma 61a:16
[Yoma 61a:16](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Yoma/r/61a:16)

אָמַר מָר: מַתְּנוֹת הָרֹאשׁ — אֵין מְעַכְּבוֹת. מַאי טַעְמָא? אִילֵּימָא מִשּׁוּם דִּכְתִיב: ״וְהַנּוֹתָר מִן הַשֶּׁמֶן״ — אֶלָּא מֵעַתָּה: ״וְהַנּוֹתֶרֶת מִן הַמִּנְחָה״ הָכִי נָמֵי דְּלָא מְעַכְּבִי?!

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
The Gemara analyzes this issue: **The Master said** above that everyone agrees that the **presentations of** oil placed on **the head** of the leper **are not indispensable.** The Gemara asks: **What is the reason** for this? **If we say** it is **because it is written: “And the rest of the oil** that is in the priest’s hand he shall put upon the head of him that is to be purified, to make atonement for him before the Lord” (Leviticus 14:29), which indicates that this presentation involves only the rest of the oil and is therefore not an essential element of atonement, **however, if** that is **so,** consider the verse: **“But the rest of the meal-offering** shall be for Aharon and his sons; it is one of the sacred offerings of the Lord by fire” (Leviticus 2:3). Should we say, **so too, that they are not indispensable?** This cannot be the case, as the *halakha* is that if the remnants of the meal-offering are lost before the handful is burnt, the owner of the offering must bring another handful.


###### Yoma 61a:17
[Yoma 61a:17](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Yoma/r/61a:17)

שָׁאנֵי הָתָם, דִּכְתִיב: ״וּמִיֶּתֶר ... וְהַנּוֹתָר״.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
The Gemara answers: **It is different there,** with regard to the leper’s *log* of oil, **as it is written** earlier: **“And of the rest** of the oil that is in his hand, the priest shall put upon the tip of the right ear of him that is to be purified, and upon the thumb of his right hand, and upon the big toe of his right foot” (Leviticus 14:17), and it is also written: **“And of the rest** of the oil that is in the priest’s hand, he shall put upon the head of him that is to be purified” (Leviticus 14:18). This shows that the presentation on the head is performed only with the remainder of the oil, and therefore this action is certainly not indispensable.
