So is the Mishnah: “but the Anointed is not liable for the impurity of the Temple and its sancta, everybody’s opinion, and neither is the Prince for hearing a sound, the words of Rebbi Simeon.¹⁰⁹Babli 9a; Tosephta 1:10. The Babli 9b points out that there are three levels of variable sacrifices and the argument of Note 84 excludes only the sacrifice of the very poor for the High Priest. In R. Simeon’s opinion, the High Priest is still liable at least for a poor man’s sacrifice for disregarding a summons to testify.” Rebbi Joḥanan said, and the Sanctuary he shall not leave, nor desecrate. Therefore, if he left, he would not desecrate¹¹⁰Lev. 21:12. The argument seems to be: If the High Priest does not leave the Sanctuary, he has no occasion to desecrate it. Therefore the verse is read as: and the Sanctuary he shall not leave; he will not desecrate. The implication would be that the High Priest not only is exempt from bringing a sacrifice (which is a dubious distinction since it denies him a means of atonement) but his infraction of the Sanctuary’s purity does not need atonement.. Rebbi Ashian¹¹¹A student of R. Jonah’s. The reading of B, R. Joshia, referring to an Amora preceding R. Jonah by two generations, is impossible., Rebbi Jonah: Rebbi Abun bar Cahana found a difficulty. Is it not written, a widow, or a divorcee, or a desecrated, a harlot, these he shall not marry, therefore if he married he would not desecrate¹¹²Lev. 21:13. The next verse gives the reason for the prohibition: So he may not desecrate his descendants. Since the child of a Cohen from a woman forbidden to him by the special rules of the priesthood is desecrated, R. Johanan’s interpretation of v. 12 is shown to be unacceptable.? What about it? ¹¹³A slightly different version of the following is in the Babli, 9b. Ḥizqiah said, this person would be extirpated from the community¹¹⁴Num. 19:19. The entire Chapter deals with the preservation of the purity of the Sanctuary (Sifry Num. 129).. One whose sacrifice is identical to that of the community. This excludes the Anointed whose sacrifice is not equal to that of the community¹¹⁵By his office he is excluded from being one of the community. His sacrifice is either a bull or nothing; the sacrifice of a member of the community is the variable offering (a female sheep or goat, or two pigeons, or flour.). They objected, is not also the Prince’s sacrifice not equal to that of the community¹¹⁶It always is a goat.? It is equal on the day of Atonement¹¹⁷On that day, the High Priest brings three sacrifices (Lev. 16) cf. Note 16. The first one for himself and his family; the second for his fellow priests and their families, and the third a double offering for the people. There the king (unless he is a usurping High Priest and king) is included with the people.. But his brothers the priests are not equal on the day of Atonement! They are equal on the other days of the year¹¹⁸The lesser priests are subject to the rules of the variable value sacrifice.. Rebbi Yudan bar Shalom said, they are equal in that the blood is given outside¹¹⁹On the Day of Atonement, only the blood of the first and third sacrifices are brought inside the Temple to purify the incense altar; the blood of the second sacrifice, the atonement of the priests, is sprinkled on the large outside alter like any other sacrifice. Similarly, the blood of the prince’s purification sacrifice is treated like that of a commoner, to be sprinkled on the outside altar..
