Quotation su Yoma 2:2

מַעֲשֶׂה שֶׁהָיוּ שְׁנֵיהֶם שָׁוִין וְרָצִין וְעוֹלִין בַּכֶּבֶשׁ, וְדָחַף אֶחָד מֵהֶן אֶת חֲבֵרוֹ, וְנָפַל וְנִשְׁבְּרָה רַגְלוֹ. וְכֵיוָן שֶׁרָאוּ בֵית דִּין שֶׁבָּאִין לִידֵי סַכָּנָה, הִתְקִינוּ שֶׁלֹּא יְהוּ תוֹרְמִין אֶת הַמִּזְבֵּחַ אֶלָּא בְפַיִס. אַרְבָּעָה פְיָסוֹת הָיוּ שָׁם, וְזֶה הַפַּיִס הָרִאשׁוֹן:

Due (sacerdoti) una volta correvano da un collo all'altro su per la rampa, quando uno di loro spinse il suo vicino, che cadde e si ruppe una gamba. Quando beth-din vide che c'era un rischio in questo, istituirono che la rimozione delle ceneri fosse assegnata solo dalla lotteria [come descritto sopra]. C'erano quattro lotterie lì (nel tempio). [Si riunivano per lotterie quattro volte al giorno, e non si dirigevano tutti allo stesso tempo, al fine di aumentare un frastuono quattro volte, con una grande folla nell'azarah. E questo è per l'onore del re, vale a dire. (Salmi 55:15): "Nella casa di Do siamo andati clamorosamente!"] Questa è la prima lotteria.

Tosefta Shevuot

A ma’aseh about two priestly brothers were running next to one another and they were going up the ramp. One of them preceded his fellow to the four amot. One of them took a knife and stabbed him in his heart. Rabbi Tzadoq came stood on the steps of the porch on the Temple Mount and said, “Hear me, my brothers, the house of Israel. Indeed it is said, ‘If someone is found slain in the land’ (Deut 21:1). And us, from where shall we measure? From the Sanctuary or from the courtyard?” All of Israel moaned in tears after his [words]. After that, the father of the boy came. He said to them, “I shall atone for you! My son is [still] convulsing, so the knife has not become impure.” This teaches that the impurity of the knife was more serious to them than the shedding of blood. And so it says, “And also Manasseh spilled innocent blood” (II Kings 21:16). From here , they say, for the sin of bloodshed, the shekhinah was taken away and the Temple was rendered impure.
