Mga Sanggunian sa Talmud para sa Levitico 6:4: Jerusalem Talmud Yoma & Jerusalem Talmud Nazir

MISHNAH: Originally, anybody who wanted to remove the ashes¹The ritual removal of some ashes from the altar by a priest in special attire (Lev.6:3), followed by the less formal removal of the remainder of the ashes, Lev. 6:4. from the altar could remove them. If they were many of them, they ran up the ramp²The ramp on the South side of the altar, leading to the top without stairs (Ex.20:23).; he who was first within four cubits³4 cubits from the top of the altar. got the right to do it. If two were at equal times, the overseer used to say to them, show fingers⁴Since people may not be counted, one counts fingers instead. The overseer calls out a large number and then counts down finger by finger repeatedly and the person whose finger is then number 1 is selected. (In modern Hebrew, מצביע no longer means to show a finger, or to point with a finger, but “to vote”; a misinterpretation of this Mishnah..). What do they hold up? One or two⁵If a Cohen has arthritic fingers and cannot lift a single finger, he may show two which, being close to one another, will be counted as one.; but one does not show a thumb in the Temple⁶Since the thumb is far from the other fingers, the thumb and one other finger might erroneously be counted as two persons..
It happened that two were equally running up the ramp when one pushed the other who broke his leg. When the court saw that they might come into danger they enacted that they should remove the ashes from the altar only by lottery⁴Since people may not be counted, one counts fingers instead. The overseer calls out a large number and then counts down finger by finger repeatedly and the person whose finger is then number 1 is selected. (In modern Hebrew, מצביע no longer means to show a finger, or to point with a finger, but “to vote”; a misinterpretation of this Mishnah..). There were four lotteries, and this was the first of them.

HALAKHAH: “Three kinds are forbidden for the nazir,” etc. Impurity, as it is written⁴Lev. 6:6.: “During all the days he vowed to the Eternal he shall not come close to a human corpse.” Shaving, as it is written⁵Lev. 6:5.: “During all the days of his nazir vow, a shaving knife shall not come onto his head.” Anything from the vine, as it is written⁶Lev. 6:4.: “During all the days of his vow, of anything coming from the wine-vine [he shall not eat.]”

A non-Cohen who removed¹¹The formal removal of ashes from the altar.. Rebbi Joḥanan said, he is liable. Rebbi Simeon ben Laqish said, he is not liable. What is Rebbi Simeon ben Laqish’s reason? Service of bringing¹²Num. 18:7.. This excludes what is a removal. What is Rebbi Joḥanan ’s reason? Anything concerning the altar¹²Num. 18:7.. Rebbi Yose ben Rebbi Abun in the name of Rav: The four kinds of service for which a Cohen would be liable if done outside¹³Outside a divinely approved place of worship; after the building of the Temple, outside of the Temple district. Worship outside the Temple is sinful only if it imitates Temple ceremonies. Babli 24a., the non-Cohen is liable for inside. What are these? Burning incense, and pouring blood, and making libations of water and wine. This follows Rebbi Simeon ben Laqish. Levi said, even removal of the ashes;¹⁴Babli 24a. this follows Rebbi Joḥanan. If he¹⁵The non-Cohen. stirred the coals, the disagreement of Rebbi Joḥanan and Rebbi Simeon ben Laqish. If he¹⁵The non-Cohen. removed the remainder of the ashes, the disagreement of Rebbi Joḥanan and Rebbi Simeon ben Laqish, following him who said, others¹⁶Lev. 6:4. Sifra Ṣaw Pereq 2(6)., of lesser value than these. But for him¹⁷According to Sifra, R. Eleazar (the Tanna.) who said others, to include people with bodily defects, there is no difference between a Cohen with a bodily defect and a non-Cohen. Everybody agreed that the non-Cohen who arranged the woods¹⁸The logs of firewood on the altar. is liable. Rebbi Zeˋira said, but only for the two logs on which the verse insists that they are Cohen’s service: Aaron’s the priest’s sons shall put fire on the altar and arrange woods¹⁹Lev. 1:7. Since a simple plural always means 2 (Note 138); this establishes a formal requirement that two new logs be brought to the altar at the start of the morning service; Lev. 6:5. Babli 24b..
