יומא 71:1

Soncino English Talmud · Berean Standard Bible

for the whole portion here follows the order with the exception of this verse. Why? — R. Hisda said: We have it on tradition that the high priest underwent five immersions and ten sanctifications on that day. And if you were to say that they are recorded in their normal order, you would find but three immersions and six Sanctifications. To this R. Zera demurred: But perhaps he interrupted [the service of the day] with the he-goat that was to be offered up outside? — Abaye replied: Scripture said, ‘He come forth and offer his burnt-offering’ i.e., on his first coming forth he is to offer his burnt-offering, and that of the people. Raba said: Scripture said, And shall put off the linen garments [etc.]. . Now it was necessary [to add] ‘which he put on’, for can a man put off except what he had put on before? What then is the purpose of stating ‘which he put on’? I.e., which he had put on before. — To this Rabba son of R. Shila demurred: But perhaps he interrupted with the he-goat to be offered up outside? — Surely it is written: ‘He come forth and offer, etc.’ — But is the rest of the section written in accord with the actual order? Surely the verses say: And the fat of the sin-offering shall he make smoke on the altar, and then: And the bullock of the sin-offering and the goat of the sin-offering, whereas we learned: HE WHO SEES THE HIGH PRIEST WHEN HE READS DOES NOT SEE THE BULLOCK AND THE HE-GOAT THAT ARE BURNT, whereas the sacrificial portions of the sin-offering were smoked up afterwards? — Read: From this passage on. But what makes you find fault with the verses, why don't you find fault with the Mishnah rather? — Said Abaye: Scripture states: And he that letteth go... and he that burneth, i.e., just as the letting go takes place before, so does the burning. — On the contrary! [Say:] Just as the burning takes place now, so does the letting go take place now! — ‘And he that letteth go’ implies [to that which was referred to] before. Raba said, Scripture says: [But the goat . . . for Azazel] shall be set alive. How long must it needs be set alive? Until the time of Atonement — Now when is the time of Atonement? At the time when the blood is sprinkled, not beyond it. When he who was to take [the he-goat] away came back and met the high priest in the street, he would say to him: Sir high priest, we have fulfilled your request. If he met him in his house, he would say to him: We have fulfilled the request of Him Who grants life to all who live. Rabbah said: When Rabbis in Pumbeditha would take leave of each other, they would say: May He Who grants life to all who live, grant you a long, happy, and right life! — I shall walk before the Lord in the lands of the living. Rab Judah said: That means the place of markets [public thoroughfare]. For length of days, and years of life, and peace, will they add to you. But are there years, which are years of life, and years, which are not years of life? — R. Eleazar said: These are such years of man as have changed from evil to good. Unto you, O men, I call. R. Berekiah said: They are the disciples of the wise, who resemble women, and do mighty deeds like man. R. Berekiah also said: If a man wishes to offer a libation upon the altar, let him fill the throat of the disciples of the wise with wine, as it is said: ‘Unto you, O men, [ishim] I call’. Furthermore did R. Berekiah say: If a man sees that Torah ceases from his seed, let him marry the daughter of a disciple of the wise, as it is said: Though the root thereof wax old in the earth, and the stock thereof die in the ground
