Parallel
יומא 48:2
Soncino English Talmud · Berean Standard Bible
If he, in removing the coals [for the incense], had an unlawful intention — what then? Are preliminary means of a religious act to be considered as the act itself or not? — The question remains unsolved. The question was asked of R. Shesheth: If the blood was carried [to the altar] in the left hand, what is the law? R. Shesheth answered: You have learnt it: He took the pan of burning coals in his right hand and the ladle in his left . But he could have settled that point to them from what we have learnt: [He carried] the right hind-leg in the left hand with the inside of the skin outward? — If the argument were based on that I might have assumed this applies only to a carrying [of such things] which are not indispensable to atonement, but in the case of a carrying [of things] which are indispensable to atonement, [it would] not [apply], therefore he has to bring [the above reference].7
