Jerusalem Talmud Berakhot
Or Rebbi Yehudah learned from testimony21Since we said that the rules of prayer are imitations of the rules of sacrifices and we do not find that the perpetual sacrifice was ever brought later than four hours in the day. Usually it is brought at first dawn. since Rebbi Simon said in the name of Rebbi Joshua ben Levi: In the time of the hellenistic government22The Babli (Menaḥot 64b) telescopes this story and the next into one and dates it at the civil war of the two Hasmonean brothers Hyrkanos and Aristobulos. they23The officials of the Temple lowered the boxes from the wall of besieged Jerusalem; in each box was payment for the lamb to be placed in it for the daily sacrifice. lowered them two boxes with gold and they gave them two lambs to pull up. Once they lowered them two boxes with gold and they gave them two kid goats24Which cannot be used for the perpetual sacrifice. to pull up. At that moment the Holy One, praise to Him, enlightened their eyes and they found two certified lambs in the hall of lambs25Since the verse (Num. 28:3) requires that the perpetual sacrifice be “a yearling sheep without blemish”, the sheep were usually held in a separate “hall of lambs” and were inspected three times before being used as sacrifice.. About that time did Rebbi Yehudah bar Abba26In the Babli (27a), the name is Rebbi Yehudah ben Baba. Levi Ginzberg points out that the name Yehudah bar Abba is found instead of Yehudah ben Baba is some Mishnah manuscripts at Idiut 6:1, 8:2, Yebamot 16:7 and that R. Yehudah ben Baba, who was killed in the aftermath of the war of Bar Kokhba, is much too late to testify about occurrences in the Temple. Hence, the name “bar Abba” should not be changed. testify that the perpetual morning sacrifice was brought at four hours.
