Others make this deduction:<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' Which supports Rami b. Hama and refutes the Elders of the south.');"><sup>10</sup></span> [The headplate makes atonement] only for the iniquity of the holy things, but not for the iniquity of those who hallow them.<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' I.e., only when the sacrifice itself is defiled, but not when its owners or the priests - 'those who hallow them' - are unclean. This is deduced direct from Scripture, which speaks only of the 'holy things'.');"><sup>11</sup></span>
Sifrei Devarim
(Devarim 18:5) "For in him (the Cohein) did the L-rd your G-d choose from all of your tribes to stand to serve in the name of the L-rd": We are hereby taught that his service is valid only standing, and if he sat and served, his service is invalid.
