מאי ואני באתי בדבריך היינו דכתיב (יחזקאל ח, יא) ושבעים איש מזקני [בית] ישראל ויאזניהו בן שפן עומד בתוכם עומדים לפניהם ואיש מקטרתו בידו ועתר ענן הקטורת עולה (יחזקאל ח, ג) וישלח תבנית יד ויקחני בציצת ראשי ותשא אותי רוח בין הארץ ובין השמים ותבא אותי ירושלימה במראות אלהים אל פתח שער הפנימית הפונה צפונה אשר
Whence do we know it about [abstention from] washing? - R'Zutra, son of R'Tobiah said: Scripture reads: And it is come into his inward parts like water, and like oil into his bones.<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' Ps. CIX, 18.');"><sup>15</sup></span> But perhaps that applies to drinking it? - It is compared to oil; just as the oil is applied externally, so also the water [is such as is applied] externally. But a Tanna teaches just the reverse, for we learned: Whence do we know that anointing oneself is like drinking on the Day of Atonement?

VIII, 11.');"><sup>19</sup></span> [Furthermore]: And the form of a hand was put forth, and I was taken by a lock of my head; and a spirit lifted me up between the earth and the heaven, and brought me into the visions of God to Jerusalem, to the door of the gate of the inner court that looketh toward the north; where
