פירוש על ברכות 55:14
Tosafot on Berakhot
AND THE ADDITIONAL PRAYER [MAY BE RECITED] ALL DAY. Our Gemara clearly states that the time for musaf is the entire day. Tosfos has other Gemaros that seem to be in conflict with our Gemara. Rabainu Shimshon ל"ז asked: How can we say here that the time for musaf is the entire day, the Gemara in Tomid Nishchat (P’sochim 58a) says that musafim are offered in the sixth hour of the day and the cups of frankincense that were on the table with the showbread all week long, were offered on the altar in the seventh hour. This of course is a contradiction to our Gemara that says the musafim can be offered all day long.
There seems to be an easy solution to this problem. The Gemara in P’sochim may be saying that the sixth hour is the optimum trime for offering musafim and our Mishna is saying that in the event the musafim were not offered at the sixth hour they can be offered all day long. Tosfos rejects this solution.
And if you say that these words, of the Gemara in P’sochim are teaching us that it is a preferred mitzvoh to offer the musafim at the sixth hour but de facto, when one did not offer them during the sixth hour, the entire day is their time and that is what our Gemara is discussing, But we have a Gemara in Yomo (70a)1 it appears that the musafim were slaughtered together with the daily sacrifices and offered on the altar together with the tomid. Since we have a contradiction between the Gemara in P’sochim that says the musafim were offered at the sixth hour and the Gemara in Yomo that says they were offered together with the Tomid, which was not later than the fourth hour and usually much earlier, we must reconcile those two Gemaros. We can say that the Gemara in Yomo is discussing when they actually offered the musafim and the Gemara in Psochim is speaking about a de facto situation and is giving the time limit if one missed the preferred time. If so, our Gemara that says that musafim could have been offered all day long is a contradiction with the Gemara in P’sochim. The Gemara in P’sochim says that the upper limit is the sixth hour and our Gemara is saying that the upper limit is all day long.
And he, Rabainu Shishon of Senz answered: that there in P’sochim the Gemara is speaking about Shabos. The Gemara is saying that on Shabos the preferred mitzvoh is to offer the musafim in the sixth hour. The Gemara in Yomo is speaking of other days that there is a musaf offering such as Yom Tov or Rosh Chodesh. On those days it is preferred that the musaf be offered together with the Tomid, which is much earlier than the sixth hour. Our Gemara is speaking of all days that there is a musaf and is teaching us that if we missed the preferred time on Shabos which is the sixth hour or the preferred time of Yom Tov which is together with the Tomid, we may offer the musaf at any time during the day.
