Commento su Yoma 2:3

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:

La seconda lotteria: chi massacra [la tamide?] Chi spruzza? [eccetera. A tutti questi servizi è stata assegnata una lotteria. È stato assegnato quello con cui è terminato il conteggio, come abbiamo spiegato. Spruzzava il sangue sull'altare dopo averlo ricevuto nella ciotola (l'irrigatore era il ricevitore) e quello accanto a lui avrebbe massacrato (la tamide). E anche se la macellazione precede la ricezione del sangue, tuttavia, poiché il servizio di aspersione è maggiore di quello della macellazione (macellazione, al contrario di aspersione, essendo kasher con un non sacerdote, la mitzvah del sacerdozio che ottiene dal ricevere), per questo il primo alla lotteria è stato premiato con l'aspersione e quello accanto a lui, la macellazione. Quello accanto a lui rimuove le ceneri dall'altare (interno); quello accanto a lui rimuove le ceneri dalla menorah e così via.] Chi rimuove le ceneri dall'altare interno? Chi rimuove le ceneri dalla menorah? Chi porta gli arti sulla rampa? La testa e la gamba [destra] [con un sacerdote], le due zampe anteriori [con un secondo sacerdote], la coda e la gamba [sinistra] [con un terzo sacerdote], il seno [il grasso del seno rivolto verso il suolo , tagliato su entrambi i lati, senza la testa delle costole] e la gerah [il luogo in cui si apre gerah (cud), cioè la gola, a cui sono attaccate la trachea, con il fegato e il cuore], i due gabbie toraciche, interiora, farina, [il petto e la gerah, con un quarto; le due gabbie toraciche, con un quinto; le viscere, con un sesto; la farina [un issaron per la libagione del pasto della tamide) con un settimo], e il chavitin [un mezzo issaron per le offerte del pasto del sommo sacerdote, che viene offerto ogni giorno con il mid'im. cioè. (Levitico 6:13): "... metà di esso al mattino e metà di sera", con un ottavo], e il vino [tre ceppi per la libagione di tamid, con un nono]. Tredici sacerdoti furono premiati con la presente [(attraverso questa lotteria) i tredici servizi sacerdotali elencati qui secondo l'ordine della Mishnah.] Ben Azzai disse prima di R. Akiva nel nome di R. Yehoshua: [la tamide] è sacrificata nel modo di camminare [nella sua vita. Il primo tanna sostiene che le parti più scelte vengono offerte per prime, e Ben Azzai tiene (che viene offerto) nel modo in cui cammina: la testa e il piede, il torace e la gerah, le due zampe anteriori, le due gabbie toraciche , la coda e la zampa (posteriore). L'halachah non è conforme a Ben Azzai.]

English Explanation of Mishnah Yoma

The second count:
who slaughters [the daily regular offering],
who sprinkles [the blood],
who removes the ashes from the inner altar,
who removes the ashes from the candlestick, 5-10) Who takes the limbs [of the offering up to the ramp],
the head and the [right] hind-leg,
the two forelegs,
the tail and the [left] hind-leg,
the breast and the throat,
the two flanks,
the innards,
the fine flour,
the cakes
and the wine. Altogether thirteen priests merited a task.
Ben Azzai said before Rabbi Akiba in the name of Rabbi Joshua: [the daily offering] was offered up in the way it walks.

In yesterday’s mishnah we learned that the priest who won the first count would remove the ashes from the large outer altar. Today we learn about the second count. There were thirteen different tasks assigned through this one count. The first task would be performed by the person whose finger the counted ended on, and the next would be assigned to the person on his right and so on.
All of these tasks are connected to the “tamid”, the daily offering.
Some of these tasks are self-explanatory, so I shall not delay upon them. I will only discuss those which are not.
Section three: “who removes the ashes from the inner altar”: this is the incense altar.
Sections five-ten: “Who takes the limbs [of the offering up to the ramp]”: we learned in Shekalim 8:8 that the priests would take the limbs up to the middle of the ramp and then before they were brought to the altar, the priests would go read the Shema. The mishnah now lists the parts of the animal. The fifth through the tenth priests all take one of these parts up to the ramp.
Section eleven: “The fine flour” is referred to in Exodus 29:9 and Numbers 28:5.
Section twelve: “The cakes”: this refers to the high priest’s minhah offering, which was offered each day, half in the morning and half at night. These cakes were cooked on a griddle with oil (Leviticus 6:13-14).
Section thirteen: “And the wine”: the thirteenth priest would bring the wine libation (Exodus 29:40 and Numbers 28:7).
Section fourteen: Ben Azzai disputes the order in which the parts of the animal were brought up the ramp and put onto the altar. He holds that the parts of the animal are sacrificed from the front of the animal to the back. The Talmud explains that the order is: 1) head and right hind-leg: 2) the breast and throat; 3) the two forelegs; 4) the flanks; 5) the tail and the left hind-leg.
In contrast, the first opinion in the mishnah holds that they are sacrificed in order of their size, with the one exception that the head comes first because of Leviticus 1:12 which lists the head first.

Bartenura on Mishnah Yoma

מי זורק וכו' – all the acts of Divine worship are done at one arbitration/count (i.e., by counting out a certain number of raised fingers of those among whom a decision is to be made. For whomever completed through him the count, according to how we explained it, is worthy, and he casts the blood to the altar after he receives the blood in the bowl (out of which the sprinkling of the blood is done), for the person who casts the blood is the person who receives it. And nearest him is the person who slaughters, and even though the slaughtering precedes the reception of the blood, nevertheless, because the Divine service of the casting is greater than the slaughtering, for the slaughtering is valid [when done] by a foreigner (i.e., a non-Kohen), which is not the case regarding the casting and the reception [of the blood] and further which is the commandment of the Kohanim, therefore, the first one who was found worthy in the arbitration for the casting [of the blood], and the one nearest him, in the slaughtering, and the one next to the slaughterer, removes the ashes from the altar, and the one nearest to the individual who removes the ashes from the altar removes the ashes from the candelabrum/Menorah, and similarly for all of them.

היה קרב – the daily afternoon offering. The first teacher holds that the best and most beautiful is offered first, but [Shimon] Ben Azzai holds that it is according to the way in which it is walked, the head and the leg, the breast and the neck, and the two forelegs, and the chest surrounding the lungs and the rib, and the rump and the hind legs. But the Halakha is not according to Ben Azzai.
