Commentary for Yoma 113:3

האי הימנו ודבר אחר הוא ולא הוי היקש

- But may something inferred by analogy be used as basis of another by analogy?<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' Above (55a) we inferred the number of upward and downward sprinklings with the blood of the bullock and the he-goat respectively. Here again an attempt is made to infer through analogy the number of upward and downward sprinklings in the Sanctuary from the sprinklings in the Holy of Holies. The rule is that in the laws appertaining to sacrifices something obtained by analogy may not become the basis or source of new inference by analogy; such inference is legitimate only when based upon the Biblical text itself.');">²</span>
