L'encens du matin était offert entre le sang et les membres. [Pas exactement, car nous avons appris plus haut: "Il a reçu le sang et l'a aspergé. Il est entré pour brûler l'encens, ajuster les lampes et offrir la tête et les membres"—d'où l'on voit que l'encens était offert entre le sang et les lampes, et non entre le sang et les membres. Le tanna ne vient pas nous informer maintenant de l'ordre exact des offrandes, mais seulement pour souligner que l'aspersion du sang et l'offrande des membres ne sont pas venus l'un après l'autre, car l'encens est intervenu, comme le réglage des lampes après la (combustion de) l'encens avant l'offrande des membres.] (L'encens) de l'après-midi (a été offert) entre les membres et les libations. Si le grand prêtre était vieux ou délicat, ils chauffaient de l'eau pour lui [la veille de Yom Kippour] et la mettraient dans le froid [creux de son mikvé], afin que le froid soit [un peu] dissipé. (voir Bartenura sur 1: 7)
Bartenura on Mishnah Yoma
בין דם לאברים – Not specifically, for it is taught in the Mishnah (four) above, that he received the blood and toss it, and went in to offer the incense and to cleanse the lamps and to sacrifice the head and the limbs, but the incense is offered between the blood and the lamps. But, the Tanna/teacher [of our Mishnah] does not come now to inform us the order of the offerings one after the other how they were, but wants to state only that he tossing of the blood and the offering of the limbs did follow one after the other, for the incense interrupted between them, and the same law applies regarding the cleansing of the lamps after the incense offering prior to the offering of the limbs.

English Explanation of Mishnah Yoma
If the high priest was either old or of delicate health warm water they would heat some water for him and pour into the cold [water], to temper its coldness. If the high priest cannot handle the frequent immersions because the water is just too cold, they heat up some water on the day before Yom Kippur and put it into the cold water to temper its coldness. The Talmud explains that they would put some iron rods into the fire on the day before Yom Kippur and then on Yom Kippur put them into the water to heat it up. We should note that doing this outside of the Temple would be prohibited because of “sh’vut” rabbinic Shabbat prohibitions. However, in the Temple such prohibitions are waived.
