מתני׳ <big><strong>שני</strong></big> שעירי יום הכפורים מצותן שיהיו שניהן שוין במראה ובקומה ובדמים ובלקיחתן כאחד ואף על פי שאין שוין כשרין לקח אחד היום ואחד למחר כשרין
This is the view of the Sages. R'Jose says: The commandment attaches properly to the first, but if the second be better than [the first] then he may offer it.
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.
