Yoma 45

YOMA 45 has been anonymously sponsored towards a REFU'AH SHELEMAH to Shmuel Yakov ben Ayala Hinda, Ilana Golda bas Chana and Klarees Marcia bas Mammie.

1) From where do we learn that the Ketores on Yom Kipur had to be doubly refined?

2)

(a) Why did the Kohanim ascend the ramp on the east side?

(b) Why did the Kohen Gadol ascend it in the middle, and make Kidush Yadayim ve'Raglayim from a special golden basin - on Yom Kipur?

3)
(a) Which two Ma'arachos had to burn daily on the Mizbe'ach ha'Olah?

(b) What was the extra Ma'arachah that they had to kindle on Yom Kipur for?

(c) What was the purpose of ...

  1. ... the third daily Ma'arachah - according to Rebbi Yossi?
  2. ... the fourth daily Ma'arachah - according to Rebbi Meir?
(d) What was the extra Ma'arachah that they had to kindle on Yom Kipur for?
4)
(a) What do we learn from the Pasuk in Tzav:
  1. ... "Hi ha'Olah al *Mokdah* al ha'Mizbe'ach ... "?
  2. ... "ve'Eish ha'Mizbe'ach *Tukad* Bo"?
(b) What does Rebbi Yehudah hold regarding the number of Ma'arachos?

(c) Rebbi Yossi learns the third Ma'arachah (for preserving the main Ma'arachah) from "ve'ha'Eish al ha'Mizbe'ach *Tukad* Bo ... ".
What does Rebbi Yehudah learn from that Pasuk?

(d) Rebbi Yossi learns this from the same Pasuk as Rebbi Shimon: "ve'Nasnu Aharon ha'Kohen Eish al ha'Mizbe'ach".
What does Rebbi Yehudah learn from there?

5)
(a) What do we learn from the Pasuk in Korach "Ach el K'lei ha'Kodesh ve'el ha'Mizbe'ach Lo Yikravu"?

(b) In that case, seeing as Rebbi Yehudah has already learned that lighting the splinters of wood must be performed on top of the Mizbe'ach, why does he now need a Pasuk ("ve'Nasnu") to preclude Zarim (or even Kohanim without their Bigdei Kehunah, who are also considered Zarim) from performing it?

6)
(a) What does Rebbi Meir learn from the extra 'Vav' in "*ve*'Eish ha'Mizbe'ach Tukad Bo"?

(b) What do the other Tana'im learn from the extra 'Vav'?

Answers to questions

45b---------------------------------------45b

7)

(a) According to the Rabbanan of Rebbi Meir, what was done with the limbs and the fat-pieces of yesterday's Korbanos that had not been completely burned on the Mizbe'ach?

(b) And what did they do if there was no room on the Mizbe'ach?

(c) The Rabbanan learn this from the Pasuk "Asher Tochal es ha'Olah al ha'Mizbe'ach" (which is not needed for the beginning of the Avodah).
What does Rebbi Meir learn from this Pasuk?

8)
(a) From where do all the Tana'im learn the extra Ma'arachah for the Ketores on Yom Kipur?

(b) But did we not learn earlier that the Rabbanan of Rebbi Meir do not Darshen the 'Hey'?

9)
(a) What do we learn from the Pasuk "Eish Tamid *Tukad* Bo, Lo Sichbeh"?

(b) We try to learn that the fire for the pan on Yom Kipur and the flame of the Menorah were taken from the Mizbe'ach ha'Olah, from a 'Gezeirah-Shavah' of "Eish" "Eish".
From where did we try to learn it?

(c) We retract from that however, because there is another way of learning them from there.
What is it?

(d) How do we finally learn the flame for the *Menorah* from the Pasuk "*Eish Tamid* Tukad al ha'Mizbe'ach"?

10)
(a) How do we subsequently try to apply the previous conclusion (by Menorah) to the fire for the Ketores on Yom Kipur?

(b) We refute it in the same way as we refuted the previous attempt to learn the two fires (for the Menorah and the Ketores on Yom Kipur) from the fire for the Ketores (using the logic of Samuch).
How do we finally learn that the fire for the Ketores on Yom Kipur had to be taken from the Mizbe'ach ha'Olah from the Pasuk in Acharei-Mos "ve'Lakach Me'lo ha'Machtah Gachalei Eish me'Al ha'Mizbe'ach *mi*'Lifnei Hashem"?

(c) Why does the Torah need to write both and "mi'Lifnei Hashem"? Let it just write ...

  1. ... "me'Al ha'Mizbe'ach"?
  2. ... "mi'Lifnei Hashem"?
