Mishnah 3
8)
(a)The Kohen Gadol then Shechted the bull, received the blood in a bowl, which he promptly handed to another Kohen. What does the Tana mean when he says that the other Kohen was 'Memareis the blood'?
(b)Why was this necessary?
(c)Bearing in mind that each row of tiles in the Beis-Hamikdash was called a 'Roved', where was the Kohen standing whilst he stirred the blood?
(d)Why can the Mishnah not mean 'the fourth row in the Heichal'?
(e)What did the Kohen Gadol then do before sprinkling the blood of his bull?
8)
(a)The Kohen Gadol then Shechted the bull (See Tos. Yom-Tov), received the blood in a bowl, which he promptly handed to another Kohen. When the Tana says that the other Kohen was 'Memareis' the blood, he means - that he stirred, shook and mixed it ...
(b)... to prevent it from congealing, whilst the Kohen Gadol had to perform another Avodah before sprinkling it (as we shall see shortly).
(c)Bearing in mind that each row of tiles in the Beis-Hamikdash was called a 'Roved', the Kohen was standing - in the Azarah (See Tos. Yom-Tov) on a tile in the fourth row from the Heichal whilst he stirred the blood.
(d)The Mishnah cannot mean 'the fourth row in the Heichal' - because the Torah specifically states in Acharei-Mos that when the Kohen Gadol entered the Heichal on Yom Kipur, nobody else was permitted to be there.
(e)Before sprinkling the blood of his Par - the Kohen Gadol performed the Avodas ha'Ketores.
9)

Mishnah 4
10)
(a)Throughout the year, the Kohen would take the shovel-full of ashes for the Ketores with a silver Machtah and pour them into a golden one. Why was that?
(b)Then why, on Yom-Kipur, did the Kohen Gadol use a golden Machtah only?
(c)According to the Tana Kama, throughout the year, the Kohen would use a Machtah that held four Kabin of ashes, and then pour the ashes into one that held three. How much did the Machtah of Yom-Kipur hold?
(d)In which point does Rebbi Yossi disagree?
10)
(a)Throughout the year, the Kohen would take the shovel-full of ashes for the Ketores with a silver Machtah and pour them into a golden one - because shovelling hot coals spoils the vessel, and Hash-m 'has pity on the money of Yisrael' (See Tos. Yom-Tov).
(b)On Yom-Kipur however, the Kohen Gadol used a golden Machtah only - so that the Kohen Gadol should need to exert himself more than necessary, by having to pour the ashes from one vessel into another.
(c)According to the Tana Kama, throughout the year, the Kohen would use a Machtah that held four Kabin of ashes, and then pour the ashes into one that held three. The Machtah of Yom-Kipur however - held three Kabin.

(c)Why was that?
11)
(a)Throughout the year, the Machtah used by the Kohen was heavy, whereas that of Yom Kipur was light - that- due to the difference between the thickness of the walls.
(b)The difference between the handle of the Machtah all the year round and the one that that the Kohen Gadol used on Yom-Kipur was - that the latter was longer ...
(c)... to enable the Kohen Gadol to help bear the weight of the Machtah by placing the end of the handle under his arm-pit.
12)
(a)According to Rebbi Menachem, throughout the year, the Machtah for the Ketores was made of yellow-gold. What did the Kohen Gadol use on Yom-Kipur?
(b)Why was it called 'Zahav Parvayim'?
12)
(a)According to Rebbi Menachem. throughout the year, the Machtah for the Ketores was made of yellow-gold, whereas on Yom-Kipur - the Kohen Gadol used one of red-gold (which is far more valuable [See Tos. Yom-Tov[ and) which was called ...
(b)... 'Zahav Parvayim' - because it resembled the blood of bulls.
13)
(a)The two final distinctions between Yom Kipur and all the year round concerned the Ketores itself. Throughout the year, the Kohen brought a P'ras (half a Manah) in the morning and a P'ras in the afternoon. How much is a 'P'ras'?
(b)What did the Kohen Gadol add on Yom-Kipur?
(c)If, throughout the year, the Ketores was ground fine (Dakah), how did this differ on Yom Kipur?
(d)How do we learn this from the Pasuk in Acharei-Mos "u'M'lo Chafnaf Ketores Samim Dakah"?
13)

(c)Throughout the year, the Ketores was ground fine (Dakah), on Yom Kipur - it was ground very fine (Dakah min ha'Dakah [See Tos. Yom-Tov]).
(d)We learn this from the Pasuk in Acharei-Mos "u'M'lo Chafnaf Ketores Samim Dakah" - which indicates that, on Yom Kipur, the already finely-ground Ketores must be even finer.

(c)Why is that?
(d)What does Rebbi Yehudah say?

15)
(a)In similar fashion, the Tana Kama and Rebbi Yehudah argue over the Kohen Gadol's washing facilities. If the Kohanim washed their hands and feet from the Kiyor (the copper basin) in the Azarah, what is the Machlokes between the Tana Kama and Rebbi Yehudah with regard to the Kohen Gadol?
15)

If the Kohanim washed their hands and feet from the Kiyor (the copper basin) in the Azarah, on Yom Kipur, the Tana Kama maintainse, the Kohen Gadol washed from a golden crucible (See Tos. Yom-Tov), whereas according to Rebbi Yehudah, he did so the whole year round.
Mishnah 6

(b)If the ...
1. ... first Ma'asrachah was the big Ma'arachah on which they burned the Tamid shel Shachar, what purpose did the second Ma'arachah serve?
