הַפַּיִס הַשֵּׁנִי, מִי שׁוֹחֵט, מִי זוֹרֵק, וּמִי מְדַשֵּׁן מִזְבֵּחַ הַפְּנִימִי, וּמִי מְדַשֵּׁן אֶת הַמְּנוֹרָה, וּמִי מַעֲלֶה אֵבָרִים לַכֶּבֶשׁ, הָרֹאשׁ וְהָרֶגֶל, וּשְׁתֵּי הַיָּדַיִם, הָעֹקֶץ וְהָרֶגֶל, הֶחָזֶה וְהַגֵּרָה, וּשְׁתֵּי הַדְּפָנוֹת, וְהַקְּרָבַיִם, וְהַסֹּלֶת, וְהַחֲבִתִּין, וְהַיָּיִן. שְׁלשָׁה עָשָׂר כֹּהֲנִים זָכוּ בוֹ. אָמַר בֶּן עַזַּאי לִפְנֵי רַבִּי עֲקִיבָא מִשּׁוּם רַבִּי יְהוֹשֻׁעַ, דֶּרֶךְ הִלּוּכוֹ הָיָה קָרֵב:

The second lottery: Who slaughters [the tamid?] Who sprinkles? [etc. All of these services were assigned with one lottery. The one with whom the count ended, as we explained, was awarded. He sprinkled the blood upon the altar after receiving it in the sprinkling bowl (the sprinkler being the receiver), and the one next to him would slaughter (the tamid). And even though slaughtering precedes receiving of the blood, still, because the service of sprinkling is greater than that of slaughtering (slaughtering, as opposed to sprinkling, being kasher with a non-priest, the mitzvah of the priesthood obtaining from receiving on), because of this the first in the lottery was awarded sprinkling and the one next to him, slaughtering. The one next to him removes the ashes from the (inner) altar; the one next to him removes the ashes from the menorah, and so on.] Who removes the ashes from the inner altar? Who removes the ashes from the menorah? Who brings the limbs up the ramp? The head and the [right] leg [with one priest], the two forelegs [with a second priest], the tail and the [left] leg [with a third priest], the breast [the fat of the breast facing the ground, cut on either side, without the heads of the ribs] and the gerah [the place where it brings up gerah (cud), i.e., the throat, to which are attached the windpipe, with the liver and the heart], the two rib cages, the entrails, the flour, [the breast and the gerah, with a fourth; the two rib cages, with a fifth; the entrails, with a sixth; the flour [an issaron for the meal libation of the tamid) with a seventh], and the chavitin [a half-issaron for the meal-offerings of the high-priest, which is offered every day with the t'midim. viz. (Leviticus 6:13): "…half of it in the morning and half of it in the evening," with an eighth], and the wine [three logs for the tamid libation, with a ninth]. Thirteen priests were awarded hereby [(through this lottery) the thirteen priestly services enumerated here according to the order of the Mishnah.] Ben Azzai said before R. Akiva in the name of R. Yehoshua: It [the tamid] is sacrificed in the manner of its walking [in its lifetime. The first tanna holds that the choicer parts are offered first, and Ben Azzai holds (that it is offered up) in the manner of its walking: the head and the foot, the chest and the gerah, the two forelegs, the two rib cages, the tail and the (hind) leg. The halachah is not in accordance with Ben Azzai.]
