Commentary for Pesachim 5:10

קְרָעוֹ וְהוֹצִיא אֵמוּרָיו, נְתָנוֹ בְמָגִיס וְהִקְטִירָן עַל גַּבֵּי הַמִּזְבֵּחַ. יָצְתָה כַת רִאשׁוֹנָה וְיָשְׁבָה לָהּ בְּהַר הַבַּיִת, שְׁנִיָּה בַּחֵיל, וְהַשְּׁלִישִׁית בִּמְקוֹמָהּ עוֹמֶדֶת. חֲשֵׁכָה, יָצְאוּ וְצָלוּ אֶת פִּסְחֵיהֶן:

After he has slit it open and taken out its eimurin [the fats offered up on the altar], he places them in a maggis [a dish. (The targum of "its dishes" is "magisohi")], and he (the Cohein) smokes them upon the altar. After the first group leaves, it waits in the Temple Mount [This, on Shabbath, when they cannot carry out their Pesach]; the second, in the chel [between the soreg (one of the approaches of the Temple fortification) and the wall of the women's court at the beginning of the Temple ascent]; and the third stays in its place. When night fell, they went out and roasted their Pesach, [the roasting of the Pesach not overriding Shabbath.]
