Talmud for Yoma 1:5

מְסָרוּהוּ זִקְנֵי בֵית דִּין לְזִקְנֵי כְהֻנָּה, וְהֶעֱלוּהוּ לַעֲלִיַּת בֵּית אַבְטִינָס, וְהִשְׁבִּיעוּהוּ וְנִפְטְרוּ וְהָלְכוּ לָהֶם. וְאָמְרוּ לוֹ, אִישִׁי כֹהֵן גָּדוֹל, אָנוּ שְׁלוּחֵי בֵית דִּין, וְאַתָּה שְׁלוּחֵנוּ וּשְׁלִיחַ בֵּית דִּין, מַשְׁבִּיעִין אָנוּ עָלֶיךָ בְּמִי שֶׁשִּׁכֵּן שְׁמוֹ בַבַּיִת הַזֶּה, שֶׁלֹּא תְשַׁנֶּה דָבָר מִכָּל מַה שֶּׁאָמַרְנוּ לָךְ. הוּא פוֹרֵשׁ וּבוֹכֶה, וְהֵן פּוֹרְשִׁין וּבוֹכִין:

The elders of beth-din [who had taught him the order of the day] delivered him to the elders of the priesthood [to teach him the (service of) the incense handfuls, viz. (Leviticus 16:12): "…and his full handfuls of incense of spices, etc.", a difficult service], and they took him up to the chamber of Beth Avtinas [the makers of the incense, those who crushed it and compounded its spices], and they beswore him [not to be a Sadducee, i.e., not to prepare the incense on the coal-pan on the outside (in the sanctuary) and bring it inside (in the holy of holies), For they expound (Leviticus 16:2): "For with the cloud shall I appear upon the ark cover" — With the cloud of smoking incense (prepared on the outside) shall he (the high-priest) come, and then I shall appear upon the ark cover. And this is not so, for it is written (Ibid. 13): "And he shall put the incense upon the fire before the L rd" (in the holy of holies).], and they took their leave of him, saying: "Our lord, high-priest, we are the emissaries of beth-din, and you are our emissary and the emissary of beth-din. We beswear you in the name of Him who reposed His name in this house, that you not alter one thing of all we have told you." He goes to a side and cries [that they suspected him of being a Sadducee], and they go to a side and cry [that they suspected him, the master having said (Shabbath 97a): "One who suspects the innocent is smitten in his body."]

Jerusalem Talmud Yevamot

What about it⁹⁴What is the practice about prohibited Gentile marriages.? Rebbi Yose said, about any incest prohibition which for a Jewish court is a capital crime, a descendant of Noah⁹⁵Any Gentile. is forewarned; and about any incest prohibition which for a court is not a capital crime, a descendant of Noah is not forewarned⁹⁶This is characterized as R. Meïr’s minority opinion in the Babli, Sanhedrin 57b.. They objected: Is not a case involving the sister a capital crime for a Jewish court and the descendants of Noah are not forewarned⁹⁷The example is exceedingly bad since incest with one’s sister is punished by Heaven with extirpation (Lev. 20:17) but is not a capital crime on Earth. Maybe the reference should be to a man married to a woman and her daughter; cf. Note 82.? Rebbi Hila in the name of Rebbi Simeon ben Laqish: “Because of these abominations, the Eternal, your God, uproots them before you.⁹⁸Deut. 18:12, speaking of idolatry.” This teaches that the Holy One, praise to Him, does not punish if He did not warn⁹⁹The prohibition of idolatry is universal, valid for all descendants of Noah (Babli Sanhedrin 57b). Therefore, Gentiles can be punished for idolatrous practices since they have been warned about them. R. Hila seems to agree that the incest prohibitions which exceed the bare minimum are directed against idolatrous practices..

Jerusalem Talmud Chagigah

“They agree that if it falls on the Sabbath that its slaughter-day is after the Sabbath.” So the House of Hillel are saying, its slaughter-day is after the Sabbath. Whose are the hides¹⁴⁷By biblical decree, the hides belong to the Cohanim serving at the moment of sacrifice, Lev. 7:8. Now on a holiday where all of Israel is commanded to appear in the Temple, all Cohanim also are asked to appear and therefore have equal claim to all hides of holiday sacrifices. But on all other days, only the watch of service of this week has a claim; in fact, only the clan serving on that very day. Therefore if the slaughter-day is treated as an extension of the holiday, all Cohanim must be admitted to service and the hides belong to all watches. But if it is a regular weekday, only the serving clan or, if its personnel is not sufficient, the serving watch are admitted to service and to receive the prebends.? Rebbi Tabi in the name of Rebbi Joshia: Rebbi Joḥanan and Rebbi Simeon ben Laqish disagree. Rebbi Joḥanan said, of all watches. Rebbi Simeon ben Laqish said, of this watch. And you are saying, its slaughter-day is after the Sabbath; whose are the hides? The disagreement between Rebbi Joḥanan and Rebbi Simeon ben Laqish¹⁴⁸Is it really a problem on Pentecost which falls on a Sabbath and the Cohanim on pilgrimage cannot leave the place of the Temple on the Sabbath and therefore are all available for service on the next day?? Rebbi Joḥanan said, Pentecost has all of seven days as make-up¹⁴⁹Cf. Halakhah 1:1, Note 33. Babli 17a,b.. Rav Hoshaia objected: was it not stated, just as the New Moon is one day after its count, to Pentecost is one day after its count? Rebbi La said, if he did not bring his holiday sacrifice on the first day, he may bring it all seven days¹⁵⁰It is obvious that the pilgrimage offerings are holiday offerings, to be serviced by all Cohanim who therefore are entitled to their share of the hides..

The rabbis increase the water and decrease the days; Rebbi Jehudah decreases the water and increases the days¹¹⁴One log, not three; for eight days, not seven..
