2. פָּרִים הַנִּשְׂרָפִים וּשְׂעִירִים הַנִּשְׂרָפִים שְׁחִיטָתָן בַּצָּפוֹן,

2. The bulls and the goats that were to be burned [outside the Beis HaMikdash Courtyard] would be slaughtered in the northern area [of the Beis HaMikdash Courtyard].

קִבּוּל דָּמָן בִּכְלִי שָׁרֵת בַּצָּפוֹן, וְדָמָן טָעוּן הַזָּיָה עַל הַפָּרֹֽכֶת, וְעַל מִזְבַּח הַזָּהָב. מַתָּנָה אַחַת מֵהֶן מְעַכָּֽבֶת.

Their blood would be received in a sacramental vessel in the northern area [of the Beis HaMikdash Courtyard]. That blood was to be sprinkled toward the curtain [before the Holy of Holies] and on the golden altar. If even one [sprinkling was omitted, atonement] would be withheld.

שִׁירֵי הַדָּם הָיָה שׁוֹפֵךְ עַל יְסוֹד מַעֲרָבִי שֶׁל מִזְבֵּֽחַ הַחִיצוֹן, אִם לֹא נָתַן לֹא עִכֵּב,

The [kohen performing the service] poured out the remainder of the blood on the base at the western side of the outer altar. If it was not poured out, [atonement] was not withheld.

אֵֽלּוּ וָאֵֽלּוּ נִשְׂרָפִין בְּבֵית הַדָּֽשֶׁן:

[The animals offered in] all the above sacrifices would be burned in the place where the ashes [from the altar] were deposited.

3. חַטָּאוֹת הַצִּבּוּר וְהַיָּחִיד, אֵֽלּוּ הֵן חַטָּאוֹת הַצִּבּוּר: שְׂעִירֵי רָאשֵׁי חֳדָשִׁים וְשֶׁל מוֹעֲדוֹת,

3. [The following laws apply to both] the communal and individual sin-offerings. These are the communal sin-offerings: the goats offered on Rosh Chodesh and on the festivals.

שְׁחִיטָתָן בַּצָּפוֹן, וְקִבּוּל דָּמָן בִּכְלִי שָׁרֵת בַּצָּפוֹן, וְדָמָן טָעוּן אַרְבַּע מַתָּנוֹת עַל אַרְבַּע קְרָנוֹת, כֵּיצַד:

They would be slaughtered in the northern area [of the Beis HaMikdash Courtyard]. Their blood would be received in a sacramental vessel in the northern area [of the Beis HaMikdash Courtyard], and was to be applied [on the altar] four times, [once] on each of the corners. How was this performed?

עָלָה בַכֶּֽבֶשׁ וּפָנָה לַסּוֹבֵב, וּבָא לוֹ לְקֶֽרֶן דְּרוֹמִית מִזְרָחִית, מִזְרָחִית צְפוֹנִית, צְפוֹנִית מַעֲרָבִית, מַעֲרָבִית דְּרוֹמִית.

[The kohen] would ascend via the ramp [at the southern side of the altar] and turn to the surrounding walkway [on the edge of the altar]. He would approach [in turn] the southeastern corner, the northeastern corner, the northwestern corner and the southwestern corner, [applying the blood on each of the corners].

שִׁירֵי הַדָּם הָיָה שׁוֹפֵךְ עַל יְסוֹד דְּרוֹמִי,

He would pour the remainder of the blood on the base at the southern side of the altar.

וְנֶאֱכָלִין לִפְנִים מִן הַקְּלָעִים לְזִכְרֵי כְהֻנָּה בְּכָל מַאֲכָל, לְיוֹם וָלַֽיְלָה עַד חֲצוֹת:

[The meat from these sacrifices] could be eaten by male kohanim within the Beis HaMikdash Courtyard, prepared in any manner, during the day [the sacrifice was offered] and on the following night until midnight.

4. הָעוֹלָה, קֹֽדֶשׁ קָדָשִׁים, שְׁחִיטָתָהּ בַּצָּפוֹן,

4. The burnt-offering was a sacrifice of the most sacred order. [The animal designated for this offering] would be slaughtered in the northern area [of the Beis HaMikdash Courtyard].

וְקִבּוּל דָּמָהּ בִּכְלִי שָׁרֵת בַּצָּפוֹן, וְדָמָהּ טָעוּן שְׁתֵּי מַתָּנוֹת שֶׁהֵן אַרְבַּע,

Its blood would be received in a sacramental vessel in the northern area [of the Beis HaMikdash Courtyard] and it was to be dashed twice on the altar [in a manner that enabled it to reach all] four [sides of the altar].

וּטְעוּנָה הֶפְשֵׁט וְנִתּֽוּחַ, וְכָלִיל לָאִשִּׁים:

The hide was to be removed from the sacrificial animal, which was to be cut into portions, and burned entirely on the fires [of the altar].

https://youtu.be/Mw5Bibw9434

1. אֵיזֶהוּ מְקוֹמָן שֶׁל זְבָחִים, קָדְשֵׁי קָדָשִׁים שְׁחִיטָתָן בַּצָּפוֹן.             

Where were the places of sacrifice in the Bet-Hamikdash? The most holy offerings were slaughtered on the north side of the altar.

פָּר וְשָׂעִיר שֶׁל יוֹם הַכִּפּוּרִים שְׁחִיטָתָן בַּצָּפוֹן,

The bull and the goat [offered on] Yom Kippur would be slaughtered in the northern area [of the Beis HaMikdash Courtyard].

וְקִבּוּל דָּמָן בִּכְלִי שָׁרֵת בַּצָּפוֹן,

Their blood would be received in a sacramental vessel in the northern area [of the Beis HaMikdash Courtyard].

וְדָמָן טָעוּן הַזָּיָה עַל בֵּין הַבַּדִּים, וְעַל הַפָּרֹֽכֶת, וְעַל מִזְבַּח הַזָּהָב. מַתָּנָה אַחַת מֵהֶן מְעַכָּֽבֶת.

That blood was to be sprinkled between the staves [of the Ark], toward the curtain [before the Holy of Holies], and on the golden altar. If even one [sprinkling was omitted, atonement] would be withheld.

שִׁירֵי הַדָּם הָיָה שׁוֹפֵךְ עַל יְסוֹד מַעֲרָבִי שֶׁל מִזְבֵּֽחַ הַחִיצוֹן, אִם לֹא נָתַן לֹא עִכֵּב:

[The Kohen Gadol] poured out the remainder of the blood on the base at the western side of the outer altar. If it was not poured out, [atonement] was not withheld.

We entreat You, with the great power of Your right hand, release the bound.

Accept the supplication of Your people; fortify us, purify us, O Awesome One.

Please, O Mighty One, guard those who seek Your oneness, as one guards the apple of the eye.

Bless them, purify them; bestow upon them always Your merciful righteousness.

Mighty and Holy One, in Your abundant goodness, guide Your congregation.

Unique and Exalted One, turn to Your people, who recall Your holiness.

Accept our entreaty; hear our cry, Knower of hidden things.

Blessed be the name of His glorious kingdom forever and ever.

Master of the worlds, You commanded us to offer the daily sacrifice at its

appointed time and to offer the incense at its designated time,

with the kohanim performing their service, the Levites [singing]

on their platform, and the Yisraelites attending [the sacrifices].

But now, because of our sins, the Beis HaMikdash was destroyed and the daily offering and the incense-offering were disrupted.

We have neither a kohen performing his service, nor a Levite on his platform, nor a Yisraelite attending.

Therefore, may it be Your will, God, our Lord and God of our fathers, that the utterance of our lips be considered and accepted by You

as if we had offered the daily sacrifice at its appointed time, stood in attendance for it, and offered the incense at its designated time, as it is written:

“We will compensate for [the sacrifice of] bulls by [the prayers of] our lips.”

And it is said, This is the law for the burnt offering, for the meal offering, for the sin offering, for the guilt offering, for the consecration offering, and the sacrifice of the peace offering.

Abbaye would recount the [sequence of offerings, beginning with]

the arrangement [of wood on the outer altar], based on scholarly tradition,

according to the teaching of Abba Shaul.

The large arrangement [of wood on the altar]

preceded the second arrangement [of wood,

from which coals were taken] for the incense-offering.

The second arrangement [of wood] for the incense-offering

preceded the placement of the two logs.

The placement of the two logs preceded the

clearing of the ashes from the inner altar.

The clearing of the ashes from the inner altar preceded the

cleaning of the five lamps [of the Menorah].

The cleaning of the five lamps preceded [the dashing of]

the blood of the daily offering.

[The dashing of] the blood of the daily offering preceded the

cleaning of the [remaining] two lamps [of the Menorah].

The cleaning of the two lamps preceded the incense-offering.

The incense-offering preceded [the offering of] the limbs on the altar.

[The offering of] the limbs preceded the meal-offering.

The meal-offering preceded the fried chavitin.

The chavitin preceded the wine libations.

The wine libations preceded the additional [Mussaf] offering.

The additional offering preceded the [two] bowls [of frankincense].

The bowls [of frankincense] preceded the afternoon daily offering.

This [sequence] is indicated by the verse,12 kohen]

shall arrange the burnt-offering upon it,

and upon it he shall burn the fat of the peace-offerings.”

[This can be understood to mean] “upon it” —

i.e., after it, [that is, after the morning daily offering],

you shall complete [the offering of] all the sacrifices.

Rabban Shimon ben Gamliel says: Balm is simply the sap that drips from the balsam tree. Carshina lye [was used] to rub on the onycha to improve its appearance. Wine from Cyprus served for steeping the onycha, to intensify [its fragrance]. Although the water of Raglayim could have served that purpose, the water of Raglayim was not brought into the Beis HaMikdash out of respect.

It is taught that Rabbi Nassan said: As [a priest] would grind the incense, [another] would say: “Grind thoroughly; thoroughly grind,” for the sound is beneficial for the spices.

If one mixed the compound in half quantities, it was fit for use. If only a third or a quarter [of the prescribed compound] was mixed, we have not heard [whether or not it would be fit for use].

Rabbi Yehudah said: The general rule is that if it was mixed in its proper proportions, it is fit for use even though it was compounded in half-quantities [or even in lesser quantities].

[A person who] left out one [of the spices] was liable to the death penalty [at the hands of Heaven].

It is taught that Bar Kappara says: Once every sixty or seventy years, the accumulated surpluses would amount to half [the required annual amount].

Bar Kappara also taught: Had [even] a minute quantity of honey been added to it, no man would have been able to resist the aroma. Why, then, were they not to mix honey into it? Because the Torah says: “You shall burn no leaven or any honey as a fire-offering to God.”

Our Sages taught:

It contained 368 maneh — 365 for each of the days of the year, a maneh for each day, half to be offered in the morning and half toward evening.

Of the remaining three maneh, the High Priest would bring two cupped handfuls into [the Holy of Holies] on Yom Kippur.

These [three maneh] had been returned to the mortar on the day before Yom Kippur and were ground very thoroughly so that they would be exceedingly fine.

[The incense-offering] comprised eleven kinds of fragrant spices:

1) balm; 2) onycha; 3) galbanum; 4) frankincense — each component weighing seventy maneh; 5) musk;

6) cassia; 7) spikenard; 8) saffron — each component weighing sixteen maneh; 9) costus, twelve [maneh]; 10) aromatic bark, three [maneh]; and 11) cinnamon, nine [maneh].

[The following were also included:] Carshina lye, nine kabin; and wine from Cyprus, three se’ah and three kabin.

If there was no wine from Cyprus, they would use aged white wine. [Also included were] a quarter [of a kav] of salt from Sodom, and a minute amount of a smoke-raising herb.

Rabbi Nassan the Babylonian says: A minute amount of Jordanian amber [was also added].

If honey was added, [the offering] was invalidated, and if one omitted any of its spices, he was liable to the death penalty [at the hands of Heaven].

You are God, our Lord, and the God of our fathers,

before Whom our ancestors burned the incense-offering when the Beis HaMikdash stood,

as You commanded them through Moshe Your prophet, as it is written in Your Torah.

God said to Moshe: Take for yourself fragrant spices: balm, onycha, and galbanum — fragrant spices and pure frankincense. Each one should be weighed individually.

Make it into incense, a compound as crafted by an expert blender, thoroughly mingled, pure and holy.

Grind some of it in a very fine manner, and place some of it before the [Tablets of] Testimony in the Tent of Meeting where I will meet with you.

It shall be of the highest degree of sanctity for you.
