ותניא א"ר יוסי למה כתוב עליהן אב"ג לידע איזה מהן נתרמה ראשון להביא הימנה ראשון שמצוה בראשון
It is quite right according to R'Shimi in the name of Raba, who said he sends the last away: that is because with him he completes the atonement, but what is the view of R'Papi in the name of Raba? - He holds with R'Jose who says: The commandment is properly fulfilled with the first one. Which view of R'Jose is referred to here?
Tosefta Shekalim (Lieberman)
What does it mean "half [פרס]" before Passover and "half [פרס]" before Pentecost and "half [פרס]" before of Tabernacles? R. Yose the son of R. Yehuda says: Not less than fifteen days before the [relevant] pilgrimage festival. And why is it written on the baskets [which contain the shekels in the temple] "Alef, Beit, Gimel"? They write "Alef, Beit, Gimel" on it, because they started with the first and bring out of it. When the first was empty, you bring out from the second. When the second was empty, you bring out from the third. When all three were empty, and the time came to separate the [next] appropriation, one gives from the new, but if not, from the old one.
