Liturgy for Yoma 4:5
בְּכָל יוֹם כֹּהֲנִים עוֹלִים בְּמִזְרָחוֹ שֶׁל כֶּבֶשׁ וְיוֹרְדִין בְּמַעֲרָבוֹ, וְהַיּוֹם כֹּהֵן גָּדוֹל עוֹלֶה בָאֶמְצַע וְיוֹרֵד בָּאֶמְצַע. רַבִּי יְהוּדָה אוֹמֵר, לְעוֹלָם כֹּהֵן גָּדוֹל עוֹלֶה בָאֶמְצַע וְיוֹרֵד בָּאֶמְצַע. בְּכָל יוֹם כֹּהֵן גָּדוֹל מְקַדֵּשׁ יָדָיו וְרַגְלָיו מִן הַכִּיּוֹר, וְהַיּוֹם מִן הַקִּיתוֹן שֶׁל זָהָב. רַבִּי יְהוּדָה אוֹמֵר, לְעוֹלָם כֹּהֵן גָּדוֹל מְקַדֵּשׁ יָדָיו וְרַגְלָיו מִן הַקִּיתוֹן שֶׁל זָהָב:
Every day, the priests would ascend on the east of the ramp [As the master said: "Let all your turnings be to the right," which is to the east. For the ramp was in the south (of the altar), so that ascending on the east of the ramp, one would be turning right.], and they would descend on the west, but today, the high-priest would ascend in the middle and descend in the middle, [in point of his eminence, to show that he is like "a member of the Household," walking wherever he desires, as opposed to the other priests, who are not permitted to do so.] R. Yehudah says: The high-priest always ascends in the middle and descends in the middle. Every day, the high-priest would lave his hands and feet from the laver, but today, he would do so from the golden ladle. R. Yehudah says: The high-priest always laves his hands and feet from the golden ladle.

The Rabbis taught: How was the incense compounded? Three hundred and sixty-eight manim4A maneh is a weight; plural, manim. were comprised therein, three hundred and sixty-five corresponding to the number of days in the solar year, one maneh for each day— half in the morning and half in the afternoon. From the three remaining manim the Kohein Gadol brought two handfuls [into the Holy of Holies] on Yom Kippur; [for which purpose] they were put back into the mortar on the eve of Yom Kippur, and ground [again] very thoroughly, in order to make them very fine. Eleven kinds of spices were used for it. They were: 1) balm, 2) onycha, 3) galbanum, 4) frankincense— by weight, seventy maneh of each; 5) myrrh, 6) cassia, 7) spikenard and 8) saffron— in weight sixteen maneh of each; 9) twelve maneh of costus, 10) three of aromatic bark, and 11) nine of cinnamon. [Also used in the incense compound were:] Nine kabin5A kab is a sixth of a se’ah. of Carshina lye, Cyprus wine [measuring] three s’in and three kabin— if he had no Cyprus wine, he could use strong white wine— a fourth of a kab of Sodom salt, and a minute quantity of maaleh ashan.6This herb causes the smoke of the burning incense to ascend in a straight line. Rabbi Nosson of Babylonia says, Jordan amber was added of a minute quantity, and if one added honey,7Included are various sweeteners such as dates and other fruits. it (the incense) became unfit; and if one omitted8The same is true if one were to add to the prescribed number of eleven spices.—Etz Yosef any of its spices he was liable to the death penalty.”9The death penalty was given only if the Kohein Gadol actually entered the Holy of Holies with incense which was unfit. This was considered as an unwarranted entry into the Holy of Holies which carried the death decree.—Rashi
