Rabbi said: For the evening sacrifice from the morning sacrifice! It is quite right according to the Rabbis, for that is written [specifically] in connection with the continual offering of the evening, but what is the ground of Rabbi's statement? — Rabbah b. ‘Ulla said: Scripture said: ‘For the one lamb’. Now which is the lamb in connection with which the word ehad [one] is used? Say: It is the lamb of the continual offering of the morning. And what do the Rabbis [reply]? — ‘Ehad’, i.e., the unique, the best of the flock. And [what is] Rabbi's [answer]? — He infers that from: And all your choice vows.

And we asked investigatingly concerning it: Why is a Scriptural statement necessary for that, and Abaye said: This was in accord with R. Judah who said: A forbidden act produced without intent, remains forbidden! That applies only to forbidden things in the whole Torah, but here hardening is [forbidden] only by Rabbinic ordination.

MEIR SAID: HE STRIPPED, SANCTIFIED HIS HANDS AND HIS FEET. HE WENT DOWN AND IMMERSED HIMSELF, CAME UP AND DRIED HIMSELF. AFTERWARDS THEY BROUGHT HIM WHITE GARMENTS. HE PUT THEM ON AND SANCTIFIED HIS HANDS AND HIS FEET. IN THE MORNING HE PUT ON PELUSIUM LINEN WORTH TWELVE MINAS, IN THE AFTERNOON INDIAN LINEN WORTH EIGHT HUNDRED ZUZ. THESE ARE THE WORDS OF R. MEIR. THE SAGES SAY: IN THE MORNING HE PUT ON [GARMENTS] WORTH EIGHTEEN MINAS AND IN THE AFTERNOON [GARMENTS] WORTH TWELVE MINAS, ALTOGETHER THIRTY MINAS. ALL THAT AT THE CHARGE OF THE COMMUNITY AND IF HE WANTED TO SPEND MORE OF HIS OWN HE COULD DO SO.ᵃᵇᶜᵈᵉᶠᵍʰⁱʲᵏˡᵐⁿᵒᵖᵠʳˢᵗᵘᵛ
