Now were these never omitted? Surely it has been taught: Their meal-offering and their drink-offerings,<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' Num.

XXIX, 18.');"><sup>14</sup></span> even on the following day.<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' V. supra 44b. It can thus happen that the meal-offering and the drink-offerings were, for some reason, not offered during the day, in which case the seventh and ninth priest would not be required.

R'Johanan said, There is a difference of opinion between Abba Jose B'Dosethai and the Rabbis. Abba Jose B'Dosethai says, He<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' The High Priest in bringing daily for his meal-offering a tenth of fine flour which he divided and offered half in the morning and half in the evening.');"><sup>22</sup></span> must set aside for [his meal-offering] two handfuls of frankincense, one handful to be offered in the morning and the other in the evening.
