Yoma 70

YOMA 59-88 have been dedicated to the memory of the late Dr. Simcha Bekelnitzky (Simcha Gedalya ben Shraga Feibush) of Queens N.Y. by his wife and daughters. Well known in the community for his Chesed and Tzedakah, he will long be remembered.

1) THE "TAMID SHEL BEN HA'ARBAYIM" ON YOM KIPUR

OPINIONS: The Mishnah discusses at which point in the day various parts of the Avodah on Yom Kipur are performed, such as the different Musaf offerings, the removal of the Kaf u'Machtah from the Kodesh Kadoshim, and the afternoon Ketores and the afternoon lighting of the Neros. The Mishnah does not mention at which point during the day the afternoon Korban Tamid is brought. When is the afternoon Korban Tamid brought on Yom Kipur?
(a) RASHI in the Mishnah (DH u'Par) and in the Gemara (70b, DH v'Achar Kach) explains that the afternoon Tamid is brought after the *fifth* Tevilah, following the Avodah of the removal of the Kaf u'Machtah (which was done after the fourth Tevilah). The Tamid is offered at the same time (that is, right before) the Ketores and the Neros. A clear source for this opinion is found in the Beraisa (Tana d'Bei Shmuel) near the end of this Amud that says that the Kohen Gadol brought his Ayil and the nation's Ayil (Ayilo v'Ayil ha'Am) and the Emorei Chatas after the third Tevilah, "but the Par ha'Olah, Shiv'as Kevasim, and Se'ir ha'Na'aseh ba'Chutz (i.e. all of the remaining Musaf offerings) [were brought] *together with the afternoon Tamid*." Since the Beraisa contrasts the times when the Ayilo v'Ayil ha'Am were brought with when the afternoon Tamid was brought, this clearly implies that the afternoon Tamid was not done at the same time as the Ayilo v'Ayil ha'Am, but was done after the fifth Tevilah. (See CHART #15, footnote 9, and Chart #16 footnote 1.)

(b) The RAMBAM (Hilchos Avodas Yom ha'Kipurim 4:2), though, rules that the Korban Tamid is brought after the *third* Tevilah, together with (i.e. right after) the Musaf offerings. The RAMBAN (Vayikra 16:32) adduces proof to this opinion from the wording of our Mishnah, which -- when discussing what was done after the fifth Tevilah -- mentions only the Ketores and the lighting of the Neros. If the Tamid is also brought after the fifth Tevilah, then the Mishnah should have mentioned it, since it mentions the other routine, daily Avodos done at that point. On the other hand, if the Tamid is brought after the third Tevilah, the Mishnah does not need to mention it because it anyway leaves out a number of Avodos done after the third Tevilah.

Further support for this opinion may be adduced from the next Beraisa cited by the Gemara, which says that the Se'ir ha'Na'aseh ba'Chutz is brought before the Ayilo v'Ayil ha'Am, after the *third* Tevilah. The Beraisa continues and says that after the Ayilo v'Ayil ha'Am, the Emorei Chatas are burned, and afterwards, the afternoon Tamid is brought. This implies that all of these Korbanos are brought after the third Tevilah. (Rashi, though, explains that when the Beraisa says, "afterwards, the afternoon Tamid is brought," it does not mean at the same time as the previously mentioned Korbanos, but it means much later, after the *fifth* Tevilah.)

Furthermore, the Mishnah says that the Se'ir ha'Na'aseh ba'Chutz is brought with the afternoon Tamid. According to Rashi, it must be that the Beraisa and Mishnah are arguing; the Mishnah maintains that the Se'ir was brought after the fifth Tevilah, and the Beraisa maintains that it was brought after the third Tevilah. (See Tosfos DH v'Achar Kach, and Chart 16 footnote 2.)

How does the Rambam understand the first Beraisa (Tana d'Bei Shmuel), which we cited above as a proof for Rashi's opinion? That Beraisa clearly says that the Korban Tamid is *not* brought during the same Tevilah as the Ayilo v'Ayil ha'Am!

RABEINU CHANANEL (cited in TOSFOS DH d'Tana) has a different Girsa in that Beraisa. The version in *our* Gemara says, "He then brought the Ayilo v'Ayil ha'Am and the Emorei Chatas [after the third Tevilah], *but* the Par ha'Olah, Shiv'as Kevasim, and Se'ir ha'Na'aseh ba'Chutz [were brought] together with the afternoon Tamid." The version of Rabeinu Chananel reads, "He then brought the Ayilo v'Ayil ha'Am and the Emorei Chatas *and* the Par ha'Olah, Shiv'as Kevasim, and Se'ir ha'Na'aseh ba'Chutz together with the afternoon Tamid." That is, all of those Korbanos, including the afternoon Tamid, were brought after the third Tevilah. This is likely the Girsa which the Rambam had as well.
