(a) The Memuneh (See Tos. Yom-Tov) would then instruct the Kohanim to go and see whether the time of Shechitah - (i.e. daybreak) had arrived.
(b) According to the Tana Kama, if it had, whoever saw it would declare - 'Barkai' - meaning that 'the morning has lit up'.
(c) According to Matisyah ben Shmuel (See Tos. Yom-Tov), he would say - the entire eastern horizon has lit up.
(a) The people standing there would then add 'as far as Chevron?' To which he would reply 'Yes!'
(b) They did that that - in order to mention the merits of the Avos.
(c) The Halachah is - like Matisyah ben Shmuel.
(a) They did all this - because it once happened that the moon shone brightly, and, thinking that dawn had broken, they brought the Korban Tamid, whilst it was still nighttime.
(b) They subsequently - burned that Korban Tamid.
(c) Having ascertained that it was time to bring the Korban Tamid - they took the Kohen Gadol down to be Toveled.
(d) Based on the principle that they had concerning the Beis-ha'Mikdash, a Kohen had to perform ...
1. ... Tevilah - after relieving himself (li'Gedolim).

(a) Before entering the Azarah (See Tos. Yom-Tov) - a person has to Tovel ...
(b) ... even if he is already Tahor.
(c) We learn this from the Kohen Gadol on Yom Kipur - who had to Tovel even when going from Avodas Chutz to Avodas P'nim, and vice-versa, how much more so somebody who comes from Chol (his house) to Kodesh (the Beis-ha'Mikdash).
(a) The Kohen Gadol had to Tovel five times on Yom Kipur - and to perform ten Kidushei Yadayim ve'Raglayim (See Tos. Yom-Tov).
(b) The latter four Tevilos took place - in the Kodesh in the Beis ha'Parvah (See Tiferes Yisrael).
(c) The first Tevilah differed from them - inasmuch as it took place in the Chol on top of the Sha'ar ha'Mayim ...
(d) ... because it was located next to the Lishkas Falhedrin, where the Kohen Gadol stayed during the seven days prior to Yom Kipur (as we learned at the beginning of the Maseches).
(a) For the first Tevilah, seeing as the Kohen Gadol was exposed to the public - they put up a sheet between him and the people.
(b) Specifically a white linen sheet - to remind him that the main Avodah of the day was performed wearing white linen garments (as opposed to the whole year round, when he served in the 'golden' garments)..
(c) After he undressed, Toveled and dried himself, he wore the eight 'golden' garments for the first Avodah (the Korban Tamid)?
(d) This Tevilah also differed from all the other Tevilos - in that it did not require Kidush Yadayim ve'Raglayim before it was performed (since he only changed from his weekday clothes [See Tos. Yom-Tov]).
(e) Before beginning the Avodah - he washed his hands and feet from the Kiyor (See Tos. Yom-Tov).
(a) Instead of the regular full Shecitah, the Mishnah states 'K'ratzo' - which means that he Shechted only the majority of the two Simanim of the Tamid.

(a) The Mishnah says that the morning Ketores was brought between the Avodas ha'Dam and the bringing of the Evarim on to the Mizbe'ach. Why is this not quite correct? Which other Avodah came before the bringing of the Evarim on to the Mizbe'ach?
(b) Then why did the Tana say what he said? What is his main Chidush?
(c) Between which two Avodos was the afternoon Ketores (shel bein-ha'Arbayim) brought?

(a) When the Kohen Gadol concluded the Avodas ha'Tamid, they brought him to the Beis ha'Parvah - a chamber called after the wizard who built it).

1. ... 'in the morning' is - when he entered the Kodesh Kodshim to place the 'spoon and the pan containing the Ketores.
2. ... 'in the afternoon' is - when he entered to remove them.
(a) the Chachamim, the Begadim that he wore in the morning were worth eighteen Manah - whereas those that he wore in the afternoon were worth twelve (See Tos. Yom-Tov).
