And with reference to this [Mishnaic statement] it was taught: Rabbi Simeon of Mizpah has this change in Tamid:<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' [ a difficult phrase.

Simeon insists that two separate applications had to be made from the south-western corner, one to the west and another to the south, and thus opposes the order given in Tamid, v. infra 15a, hence he could not be an authority for the Tractate.');"><sup>12</sup></span> - Rather, said R'Johanan: Who is the authority for the order [given] in [the Tractate] Yoma?
Sefer HaChinukh
From the laws of the commandment is that which they said in a bereita in Keritot 6a that the composition of the incense was eleven spices, four of which are explicit in the Torah and seven of which are a tradition. And that which they said (Yoma 26a; Mishnah Tamid 7:3) that the incense is made either by the high priest or by a regular priest. And [that] which they said (Menachot 49a) that if he did not burn it in the morning, he burns the whole amount of the day - which is the weight of a hundred dinar - in the afternoon. And the weight of a dinar is well known. And [that] every day he would burn half of it in the morning and half of it in the evening, after the afternoon sacrifice before the arrangement of all of the lights, after the [lighting] of five of their wicks - as they were not lit consecutively (Yoma 14b). And [that] they would do this matter [as follows], the priest that merited to burn the incense takes a vessel - the name of which is a teni - heaped full of incense (Mishnah Tamid 6:3), and all of the people leave from between the sanctuary and between the chamber and the altar, as it states (Leviticus 16:17), "And no man will be in the tent of meeting, etc." And he [then] burns [it] in the way that is explained there in the Gemara (Mishnah Tamid 6:3) - that he gently throws the incense upon the coals in the gold pan, and he bows down and exits. And the rest of its details, how it is done, and that which they said during the grinding of the spices, "Crush well, well" - because our Rabbis, may their memory be blessed, said (Keritot 6a) that the voice is good for spices while they grind them - is all in Keritot and in Tamid (see Mishneh Torah, Laws of Daily Offerings and Additional Offerings 3).
