Chapter 128

א ואם היה השני מובחר ממנו יביאנו
1 but if the second one be very much better, he shall offer it up. Raba said: Our Mishnah points to be in accord with Rab, whereas the Baraitha is in accord with R'Johanan.
ב אמר רבא דיקא מתניתין כוותיה דרב וברייתא כוותיה דר' יוחנן מתניתין כוותיה דרב דקתני אם של שם מת זה שעלה עליו הגורל לשם יתקיים תחתיו ואידך כדקאי קאי
2 Our Mishnah is in accord with Rab for it reads: IF THE ONE THAT WAS CAST FOR THE LORD DIED, HE [THE HIGH PRIEST] SHOULD SAY: LET THIS ON WHICH THE LOT FOR THE LORD HAS FALLEN STAND IN ITS STEAD' [implying] that the other remains as it is.<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' In the state of holiness, without being rejected.');"><sup>1</sup></span> The Baraitha is in accord with R'Johanan, for it reads: As to the second.<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' The second mentioned in the Mishnah, that it is left to pasture.');"><sup>2</sup></span>
ג ברייתא כוותיה דר' יוחנן דקתני שני איני יודע אם שני שבזוג ראשון אם שני שבזוג שני כשהוא אומר יעמד חי ולא שחבירו מת מאי משמע יעמד חי ולא שכבר עמד
3 I do not know whether [it means] the second of the first pair, or the second of the second pair. But from the words 'shall be set alive'<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' Lev. XVI, 10. One that 'shall be set alive', not one which had been set alive again, a second time.');"><sup>3</sup></span>
ד תנן ועוד אמר רבי יהודה נשפך הדם ימות המשתלח מת המשתלח ישפך הדם בשלמא לרבי יוחנן דאמר בעלי חיים נדחין משום הכי ימות המשתלח אלא לרב דאמר בעלי חיים אינן נדחין אמאי ימות המשתלח
4 [I infer: only this one] but not one whose pair has died.<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' Hence the second in the Mishnah must refer to the second of the first pair.');"><sup>4</sup></span> How does that follow? - 'It shall now be set alive', [and] not the one that has been set [alive] before [but whose pair has died].
ה אמר לך רב אליבא דרבי יהודה לא קא אמינא כי אמינא אליבא דרבנן
5 We learned: FURTHERMORE DOES R'JUDAH SAY: IF THE BLOOD WAS POURED AWAY, THE SCAPEGOAT IS LEFT TO DIE; IF THE SCAPEGOAT DIED, THE BLOOD IS POURED AWAY. Now that is quite right according to R'Johanan, who holds living animals are rejected [permanently], - therefore the scapegoat is left to die.
ו בשלמא לרב בהא פליגי רבי יהודה ורבנן אלא לר' יוחנן במאי פליגי אמר רבא הא אמרינן דייקא מתני' כוותיה דרב
6 But according to Rab, who holds that living animals are not rejected [permanently], why should the scapegoat be left to die? - Rab will answer you: What I say, I say in accordance with the view, not of R'Judah, but of the Sages.<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' [Who, as is to be inferred from the words of R. Judah, held that the second in the first pair is to be offered, because in their view living animals are not rejected permanently].');"><sup>5</sup></span> It is quite right according to Rab: Therein lies the difference between the Sages and R'Judah; but according to R'Johanan, wherein lies the difference?<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' R. Johanan holds that the Sages insist that the second of the first pair must not be offered. Wherein then does R. Judah, in his additional remark ('Furthermore') differ from the Sages.');"><sup>6</sup></span>
ז תנן שאין חטאת צבור מתה הא דיחיד כי האי גוונא מתה בשלמא לרבי יוחנן כדרבי אבא אמר רב דאמר רבי אבא אמר רב
7 - Raba said: That is what we have said [above]: The Mishnah points to be in accord with Rab. We learned: FOR A COMMUNITY SIN-OFFERING IS NOT LEFT TO DIE. This [implies] that one of an individual, in such a case, would be left to die. Now that will be right according to R'Johanan,<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' Who holds that the second of the first pair is left to pasture.');"><sup>7</sup></span> following R'Abba in the name of Rab, for R'Abba said In the name of Rab:
