הַפַּיִס הַשְּׁלִישִׁי, חֲדָשִׁים לַקְּטֹרֶת בֹּאוּ וְהָפִיסוּ. וְהָרְבִיעִי, חֲדָשִׁים עִם יְשָׁנִים, מִי מַעֲלֶה אֵבָרִים מִן הַכֶּבֶשׁ וְלַמִּזְבֵּחַ:

The third lottery: "Whoever is new to the incense, come to the lottery!" [Thus would they proclaim in the azarah, viz.: Let those who had never offered up the incense come to participate in the lottery. They would not allow one who had already done so to do so again because it confers wealth (upon those who offer it), viz. (Deuteronomy 33:10-11:) "They shall place incense before You … The L rd shall bless his wealth." Because every priest who offered up the incense derived wealth and blessing from it, they allowed no one to repeat it so that all would be given an opportunity for wealth and blessing.] And the fourth (lottery): "New and old!" [i.e., Those who had won the lottery before and those who had never won, come and join the lottery.] Who shall take up the limbs from the ramp to the altar? [When they brought the limbs from the slaughterhouse, they did not take it to the altar, but placed it on the upper half of the ramp towards the east. They would then conduct a new lottery: Who shall take them up thence to the altar? They would do so by reason of (Proverbs 14:28): "In the multitude of the people is the glory of the King."]
