1)[line 2]îðçú ðñëéíMINCHAS NESACHIM

The Minchas Nesachim is a Korban Minchah (meal-offering; see Background to Menachos 2:1) that is brought together with a Korban Shelamim or Olah, whether the Korban is offered by the Tzibur (Bamidbar 28:11-15, 20-21) or by an individual (Bamidbar 15:3-16). It is called Minchas "Nesachim" because it is normally brought along with the Nesachim (wine libations) that are offered with these Korbanos.

Plates of metal that measured one square Amah into which one-Amah-long nails were inserted were built onto the roof of the Heichal (RASHI to Erchin 6a); (b) the roof of the Heichal was sloped such that its peak was only one Amah wide ("Amah Kalya" - lit. "ended in one Amah"). Bits of metal and nails were affixed there to prevent ravens from landing (RASHI to Moed Katan 9a).

13)[line 36]ùùä áúé àáåúSHISHAH BATEI AVOS - the six Batei Avos that serve in the Beis ha'Mikdash during the six days of the week (MISHMAROS: BATEI AVOS)

(a)The Kohanim are divided into 24 shifts according to their families (Mishmaros), each of which serves for one week in the Beis ha'Mikdash, in a constant cycle. The Mishmaros change on Shabbos, when the outgoing Mishmar does the Avodah in the morning and the incoming Mishmar does the Avodah in the afternoon.

(b)Every Mishmar is further divided into six Batei Avos, with the Kohanim of each Beis Av serving on a different day of the week. A leader of each Beis Av is chosen; he is known as the Rosh Beis Av. On Shabbos, all of the Batei Avos of the Mishmar do the Avodah together (RASHI). (Some contend that the Mishmaros are divided into seven, and not six, groups, and only one group serves on Shabbos (RASHI to Ta'anis 26a - for more on this, see Insights to Shekalim 18:1).

(c)On the Shalosh Regalim (the holidays of Pesach, Shavu'os and Sukos) all of the Mishmaros come to Yerushalayim to fulfill the Mitzvah of Aliyah l'Regel. At those times, Kohanim from any Mishmar are permitted to do the Avodah of the Regel.

(Six separate collection boxes for the Korbenos Nedavah were established in the Beis ha'Mikdash, so that each Beis Av (see previous entry) would have its own box and be entitled to the hides of the Korbanos brought from the money of that box. In this way, no disputes would arise, which would be likely to happen if there was only one collection box for the Nedavos.)
