א ולא פליג רבי יהודה
1 and here R'Judah does not dispute?<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' Tosaf s.v. Velo expresses amazement at the fact that the questioner overlooks the Tosefta, in which R. Judah actually does dispute the anonymous MISHNAH: It is to be found in Parah XII, 8, which, as Tosaf suggests, the questioner may not have known the Mishnah containing no such dispute of R. Judah's.');"><sup>1</sup></span> - Abaye said: Since the Master said that this chapter contains [texts] implying an exception from a preceding implication, and [texts] independent of preceding or following implications he surely disputes.
ב אמר אביי כיון דאמר מר משמע מוציא מיד משמע ומשמע ממילא פליג
2 And the clean person shall sprinkle upon the unclean;<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' Num. XIX, 19.');"><sup>2</sup></span> 'clean' implies that he was unclean before,<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' The word 'tahor' (a clean person) is superfluous, since Scripture just speaks of him, hence it must mean one who is clean again, hence was unclean before. The inference for a tebul-yom (v. Glos.) thus appears justified.');"><sup>3</sup></span>

3 that informs us that a tebul-yom is qualified [to officiate] at the heifer [ceremony]. R'Assi said: When R'Johanan and Resh Lakish engaged in investigating questions about the heifer, they were unable to produce more than what a fox can bring up from a ploughed field, but they said this chapter contains [texts] implying an exception from a preceding implication, and [texts] independent of preceding or following implications.<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' Hence it is impossible to explain them on one schema, because of the particular condition of this chapter, but for the tradition, the inferences would appear incompatible.');"><sup>4</sup></span>
ד אמר ר' אסי כי הוו בה ר' יוחנן וריש לקיש בפרה לא מסקי מינה אלא כמאי דמסיק תעלא מבי כרבא אלא אמרי משמע מוציא מיד משמע ומשמע ממילא
4 A tanna<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' V. Glos. s.v. (b) .');"><sup>5</sup></span> recited before R'Johanan: All the slaughterings may be performed by a lay Israelite with the exception of that of the [red] heifer.
ה תני תנא קמיה דר' יוחנן כל השחיטות כשירות בזר חוץ משל פרה אמר ליה ר' יוחנן פוק תני לברא לא מצינו שחיטה בזר פסולה
5 R'Johanan said to him: Go out and teach it in the street!<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' I.e., it is not fit for the Academy, we cannot accept your report.');"><sup>6</sup></span> We do not find that slaughtering is disqualified [if performed] by a lay Israelite.
ו ור' יוחנן לא מיבעיא לתנא דלא ציית אלא אפי' לרביה לא ציית דאמר ר' יוחנן משום ר"ש בן יהוצדק שחיטת פרה בזר פסולה ואני אומר כשירה לא מצינו שחיטה שפסולה בזר
6 Nor would R'Johanan not listen only to a tanna [in this matter] he would not even listen to his own master, for, whereas R'Johanan said in the name of R'Simeon B'Jehozadak: The slaughtering of the heifer by a lay Israelite is invalid [he added]: But I say, it i valid, for we do not find that slaughtering [of sacrifices] by a lay Israelite is invalid. HE CAME TO HIS SECOND BULLOCK: Why is it that in the first confession he does not say 'And the children of Aaron, Thy holy people' and in the second confession he mentions: 'The children of Aaron, Thy holy people'? - The school of R'Ishmael taught: Common sense dictates<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' Lit., 'the norm of justice'.');"><sup>7</sup></span>

11 HE WOULD TAKE THEM UP WITH A COAL-PAN CONTAINING FOUR KABS, AND EMPTY IT INTO ONE CONTAINING THREE KABS,<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' This list will prove' helpful: 1 log=6 eggs; 1 kab =4 logs; 1 se'ah =6 kabs.');"><sup>13</sup></span> THIS DAY HE TOOK THEM OUT WITH ONE CONTAINING THREE KABS, IN WHICH HE BRINGS OUGHT [THE CINDERS] IN, TOO.

14 THIS IS THE STATEMENT OF R'MENAHEM. ON OTHER DAYS HE WOULD OFFER HALF A MINA [OF INCENSE] IN THE MORNING AND HALF A MINA IN THE AFTERNOON, TODAY HE ADDS ALSO HIS TWO HANDS FULL.<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' Both the daily incense on the golden altar in the inner Sanctuary. and the special incense for the day - the latter on a golden pan - were on the Day of Atonement, offered up by the high priest alone.');"><sup>15</sup></span>
