Yuma 3:11

The following people involved with the avoda of the Bais Hamikdash were remembered negatively. The house of Garmu did not want to teach anybody how to make the lechem hapanim. The house of Avteenes did not want to teach people how to make the kitores. Higroves, the son of Levi, had a special way of making music that he was unwilling to teach to others. Ben Kamtzur did not want to teach the special method of writing.

On the first ones it says, ‘zecher tzadik levracha’. On these people it says, ‘The names of the wicked should rot’.

Yuma 4:1

The Cohein Gadol quickly took from the utensil the two lots, on one was written lahashem and on the other was written lazazel. The deputy was on his right side and the head of his father’s house was on the left. If the lot on his right hand said lahashem the deputy would say, ‘My master Cohein Gadol pick up your right hand.’ If the lottery of lahashem was on his left hand, the head of his father’s house would say, ‘My master Cohein Gadol pick up your left hand.’ He put the two lots on the he-goats and over the one that said lahashem, he said ‘lahashem a chatas’. Reb Yishmael says he didn’t have to say it was for ‘a chatas’ just ‘lahashem’. The people who were there would say, ‘Baruch shame kivod malchuso lilom vaed.’
