Answer: The Gemara answered that it is the end of the day's Avodah, even when it is done at night. Terumas ha'Deshen does not apply to it, like I explained above.

Gemara's question: We asked from Terumas ha'Deshen. Even though sometimes Hotza'as ha'Deshen does not follow it, in any case, when they needed, they would remove the ashes after Terumas ha'Deshen;

After Haramah, it says "u'Fashat Es Begadav v'Lavash Begadim Acharim v'Hotzi Es ha'Deshen..."

If so, it is not Avodah Tamah, for Avodah Tamah is only what never has Avodah after it, like I explained.

Gemara's answer: [They used to race to receive Terumas ha'Deshen. They enacted a lottery] due to an episode that occurred [in which a Kohen broke another's Kohen's leg]. I explain the text of Seforim like this;

However, Rashi says that this is not in the text. Based on what I explained, Rashi's question [that we established that Rav and Levi argue about Avodah not followed by Avodah] is not difficult.

Inference: [The coming Mishnah] did not teach two logs. This shows that they are Avodas Laylah.

Implied question: It says about the two logs "ba'Boker ba'Boker"!

Answer: Since it repeats ba'Boker ba'Boker, we say that it gives an [earlier] morning to the morning [at the end] of the night.

Explanation: [It should have its own lottery] because it is Avodah Tamah, for it is Avodas Laylah, and Avodas ha'Tamid, which is Avodas Yom, does not pertain to it.

Implied question: Why don't we ask from Zerikah, which is Avodah Tamah, and it does not have its own lottery?

Answer #1: Granted, there is no Avodah after it, since Haktarah Eimurim after it is not Me'akev, and sometimes it is not done at all, e.g. if the Eimurim became Tamei or were lost;

Even so, since when the Eimurim are around, they are Me'akev, Zerikah is not considered Avodah Tamah so much to have its own lottery.

Therefore, we ask from Terumas ha'Deshen. Even though Hotza'as ha'Deshen, which follows it, is not always done, since sometimes it is done, it (Terumas ha'Deshen) is not so important to have its own lottery, like I explained regarding Zerikah.

Answer #2: Zerikah is different, for another Avodah follows it during the day;

Arranging two logs is different, for there is no other Avodah the entire night.

Question: If so, why is there a lottery for Ketores by itself, which has an Avodah after it during the day?

Answer: Ketores is different, because it always requires new Kohanim.

Explanation: From "Ika d'Amrei" until "it should have its own lottery" is all from the second version [of R. Zeira's question];

Now we return to the conclusion above, due to Rava's question, i.e. it should have its own lottery.

Note: The Maharsha explains that Tosfos' text said "Ela ked'Amrinan." We conclude like above, that R. Yochanan discussed arranging two logs.

Gemara's retraction: Rather, it was said as follows. R. Asi said in the name of R. Yochanan that a Zar who arranges two logs is liable, for it is Avodas Yom..., like above.

However, [now] the Gemara elaborates to be more precise about Rava's words that Avodah Tamah requires a lottery.

[Rav Ashi] brings a support for R. Yochanan's teaching. Since we reject the support, we can no longer establish R. Yochanan' teaching, due to Rava's question.

Therefore, we need to say like above, [that a Zar is liable] because it is Avodas Yom.

Conclusion: Now we cannot ask that it should have its own lottery, for many daytime Avodos do not have their own lottery.

Question: There are also Nisuch ha'Yayin veha'Mayim, which are Avodos Tamos, and there is no lottery for them by themselves!

Answer: Since there are several Avodos after them during the day, we do not have a lottery for them by themselves;

However, there is no Avodah the entire night after the two logs. Therefore we should say that it is so important to have a lottery by itself.

The Gemara asked from limbs and fats (there is Avodah after them, and they have their own lottery), and answered that they are the last Avodah of the day. Therefore, they have their own lottery;

In the morning lottery, they cast lots also for the limbs of the afternoon Tamid. There is no Avodah the entire day after these limbs.

Note: I do not understand this. Just the contrary! Since there limbs are the last Avodah of the day, they should have a separate lottery! Why are they part of the morning lottery?

Implied question: Why do we ask "there is a lottery for Shechitah by itself"! (We cast for other matters with it!)

Answer: The lottery is primarily for Shechitah. The other Kohanim are drawn after him [the one who merits Shechitah], secondarily to him.

Citation (Pesachim 4a) Question: We should check [for Chametz on Erev Pesach] in the morning! A Beraisa teaches that the entire day is Kosher for Bris Milah, just Zerizim (zealous people) do it early, for it says "va'Yashkem Avraham..."!

Question: How can we learn from here that Zerizim need not do [the Mitzvah] the night before? Perhaps Avraham did not get up at night [to go to the Akeidah] because a Chacham should not go out alone at night (Chulin 91a)!

Answer: Avraham would not have refrained from rising at night due to this (that a Chacham should not go out alone at night), because Sheluchei (people going to do a) Mitzvah are not harmed.

Question #1: There, we learn this itself, that [a Chacham] should not go out alone at night, from "va'Yashkem Avraham ba'Boker"! (How can we learn two matters? Perhaps he waited until morning only for one reason!)

Question #2: Since Sheluchei Mitzvah are not harmed, why did he refrain from rising at night because a Chacham should not go out alone?

Answer: There are two verse va'Yashkem, one regarding the Akedah, and one when he prayed for Sedom;

Here we bring the verse of the Akeidah. Therefore, the question in Pesachim is proper. If Zerizim do Mitzvos early the previous night, also Avraham should have risen at night!

He had nothing to fear. Firstly, Sheluchei Mitzvah are not harmed. Secondly, there were two youths with him!

In Chulin (91a), we bring the verse of Sedom. There, he was alone, for others should not see the downfall of Sedom, like we find regarding Lot's wife.

Also, he was not a Shali'ach Mitzvah, for Hash-m did not want him to pray for them.
