1) [line 24] IKAR SHIRAH B'FEH - "The essential aspect of the songs of the
Beis ha'Mikdash is the singing"
(a) Wine libations were brought with many of the Korbanos, as it states in
Bamidbar 15:5-10. One of the appointments of the Levi'im in the Beis
ha'Mikdash was to sing Tehilim and play musical instruments at the time that
the wine were poured into special pipes at the top of the Mizbe'ach ha'Olah.
At the time that it was poured on the Mizbe'ach, the Leviyim began singing
verses from Tehilim.
(b) There is a Machlokes as to whether the musical instruments are an
essential aspect of the songs in the Beis ha'Mikdash. Those who hold that
Ikar Shirah b'Feh (the main aspect is the singing) rule that the musical
instruments are not necessary, and that instruments may be played by those
who are not Leviyim as well as by Leviyim.
2) [line 37] "...BEIS AV ECHAD ACHUZ L'ELAZAR V'ACHUZ ACHUZ L'ISAMAR." -
"...one [extra] unit for [each family of] Elazar, but one unit for [one
family of] Isamar." (Divrei ha'Yamim I 24:6) - The number of the divisions of
the families of Elazar was doubled while the number of the divisions of the
families of Isamar remained the same.
