He who sees the High Priest reading does not see the burning of the bull and the ram; he who sees the burning of the bull and the ram does not see the High Priest reading. Not because he would not be entitled to it but because the distance was large and the actions happened simultaneously.

MISHNAH: How is the priestly blessing? In the countryside they recited it as three blessings178Each one of the verses Num. 6:24–26 to be answered by “Amen”., but in the Temple as one blessing179To be answered by the people at the end by “praised be the Name of the glory of His kingdom forever and ever”.. In the Temple one says the Name as it is written, but in the countryside by its circumlocution180“The Lord” אֲדוֹנָי or κύριος.. In the countryside the Cohanim lift their hands to the height of their shoulders but in the Temple over their heads except for the High Priest who does not lift his hands over the diadem. Rebbi Jehudah says, the High Priest also lifts his hands over his head, as it is said181Lev. 9:22; since the ritual of blessing with raised hands is derived from this verse, it would be unreasonable to have the Cohanim not conform to Aaron’s, the High Priest’s, example.: “Aaron lifted his hands towards the people and blessed them.” How are the blessings of the High Priest182On the Day of Atonement; cf. Mishnah Yoma 7:1.? The organizer of the synagogue183On the Temple Mount. This is a non-scriptural ceremony, purely Pharisaic, but followed, at least since Hasmonean times, even by Sadducee High Priests. takes a Torah scroll and gives it to the president of the synagogue; the president of the synagogue gives it to the Second184The second in command in the Temple after the High Priest; in effect his executive officer.; the Second gives it to the High Priest. The High priest receives it standing, he stands and reads “after the death185Lev. 16:1–34, the description of the Atonement service.” and “but on the tenth186Lev. 23:26–32. Winding from Chap. 17 to 23 does not take much time.”; he rolls the Torah tight, puts it in his bosom and says: More than what I read before you is written here. “And on the tenth” in Numbers187Num. 29:7–11. he recites by heart, and recites eight benedictions188These are detailed in Halakhah 7.: For the Torah, for the Temple service, for thanksgiving, for forgiveness of sins, for the Temple, for Israel, for the Cohanim, and the remainder of the prayer.

Jerusalem Talmud Sotah

There195Mishnah Megillah 4:5., we have stated: “One winds in Prophets196In the public reading from Prophets after the Sabbath reading from the Torah, it is permissible to piece the reading together from different chapters of one prophet. but one does not wind in the Pentateuch.” One winds in one prophet, but not from one prophet to another, but among prophets of the Twelve it is permitted197Since all 12 minor prophets are written together in one scroll, moving from one to the next is like winding in one of the major prophets, each of which is written in his own scroll.. But one does not wind in the Pentateuch; Rebbi Jeremiah in the name of Rebbi Simeon ben Laqish: Because one does not wind the Torah in public. Rebbi Yose asked, think of it, if it was a small portion198In the Palestinian 3½ year cycle, it might be that the portion was too small to be read by seven different persons; may some readers read from another place after the allotted portion was already recited?? But that Israel should hear it in its order199Even if one reads more than the allotted portion on one Sabbath, it must be a continuous text.. But did we not state200The Mishnah here.: “He reads ‘after the death185Lev. 16:1–34, the description of the Atonement service.’ and ‘but on the tenth186Lev. 23:26–32. Winding from Chap. 17 to 23 does not take much time.’ ”? It is different here, because that is the order of the day201This is a holiday reading, not a Sabbath reading; it has to concentrate on the texts dealing exclusively with that holiday.. Know that it is so since Rebbi Simeon ben Laqish said, one does not recite by heart, and here he recites by heart202From the text too far removed to be wound without inconveniencing the public.. Rebbi Yose commanded Bar Ulla, the organizer of the congregation of Babylonians: When the Torah has been brought back, wind it behind the curtain203In Yoma, the text reads: כַּד דְּהִיא חָדָא אוֹרִיָּא תְּהֵא גַייֵל לָהּ לְהָדֵי פָרוֹכְתָא. “When you have only one Torah, wind it by the curtain.” The text here is preferable since a good organizer will wind the Torah well before it is used the next time. The editors who mishandled the text, replacing the text here by that from Yoma in modern editions, probably never were Torah readers themselves.. If there are two, return one and bring the other204This is not the common usage where one takes out both scrolls and reads from them one after the other. This shows that in Babylonia already in Talmudic times one read from two different scrolls at special occasions (in particular, holidays). One has to correct the statement by Elbogen (cf. Note 205, p. 127) that this practice is not recorded before Rav Yehudai Gaon..
