Halakhah for Menachot 4:4

הַתְּמִידִין אֵינָן מְעַכְּבִין אֶת הַמּוּסָפִים, וְלֹא הַמּוּסָפִים מְעַכְּבִין אֶת הַתְּמִידִים, וְלֹא הַמּוּסָפִים מְעַכְּבִין זֶה אֶת זֶה. לֹא הִקְרִיבוּ כֶבֶשׂ בַּבֹּקֶר, יַקְרִיבוּ בֵּין הָעַרְבָּיִם. אָמַר רַבִּי שִׁמְעוֹן, אֵימָתַי, בִּזְמַן שֶׁהָיוּ אֲנוּסִין אוֹ שׁוֹגְגִין. אֲבָל אִם הָיוּ מְזִידִין וְלֹא הִקְרִיבוּ כֶבֶשׂ בַּבֹּקֶר, לֹא יַקְרִיבוּ בֵּין הָעַרְבָּיִם. לֹא הִקְטִירוּ קְטֹרֶת בַּבֹּקֶר, יַקְטִירוּ בֵּין הָעַרְבָּיִם. אָמַר רַבִּי שִׁמְעוֹן, וְכֻלָּהּ הָיְתָה קְרֵבָה בֵּין הָעַרְבָּיִם, שֶׁאֵין מְחַנְּכִין אֶת מִזְבַּח הַזָּהָב אֶלָּא בִקְטֹרֶת הַסַּמִּים, וְלֹא מִזְבַּח הָעוֹלָה אֶלָּא בְתָמִיד שֶׁל שַׁחַר, וְלֹא אֶת הַשֻּׁלְחָן אֶלָּא בְלֶחֶם הַפָּנִים בְּשַׁבָּת, וְלֹא אֶת הַמְּנוֹרָה אֶלָּא בְשִׁבְעָה נֵרוֹתֶיהָ בֵּין הָעַרְבָּיִם:

[The absence of ] the<i>temidim</i> [daily offerings of lambs, one after dawn and before sunset] near does not invalidate the <i>musafim</i> [additional offerings offered on Shabbat, Rosh Chodesh, and holidays], neither does [the absence of] the <i>musafim</i> invalidate the <i>temidim</i>, neither does the absence of [one of the] <i>musafim</i> invalidate the other <i>musafim</i>. Even if they did not offer the lamb in the morning, they must offer it towards evening. Rabbi Shimon said: When is this so? Only when they had acted under duress or in error, but if they acted deliberately and did not offer the lamb in the morning they may not offer it towards evening. If they did not burn the incense in the morning, they burn it towards evening. Rabbi Shimon said: all of it was burned towards evening [in such a case] - for the golden altar is dedicated only by the incense of spices, and the altar for the whole burnt offering [is dedicated only] by the daily offering of the morning, and the table [is dedicated only] by the showbread on Shabbat, and the menorah [is dedicated] only by [the kindling of] seven lamps towards evening.
