Tosefta Shekalim (Lieberman)

What is meant by ”summer” [קיץ] of the altar? One buys burnt offerings and ”summers” [מקיצין] the altar.

Ben Azzai said to him: This is not the [proper] procedure! The worker who has done his work, whether for a 100 or for 200 [Zuz/Dinar], must not say: Give me this cow for a mine and this coat for 50 Zuz, for sacred things is not profaned by a job, but only by money.
