Три раза в год (т. Е. В трех фестивалях) все часы были равны в eimurei haregalim [то есть, «что было сказано» (амур) в отношении праздников, например, грудь и плечо отдельных фестивальных мирных предложений, всесожжения (посещения храма) всесожжения (oloth re'iah), общины mussafim и жертвы козьего греха], а также в раздаче хлеба для показа [когда Суббота выпала на празднике. Ибо в Шаббат (предыдущий) шоу хлеб был убран, а другой организован, а именно. (Левит 24: 8): «В день субботний он все устроит». На Ацерет (Шевуот) ему говорят: «Вот маца, вот хамец». [Когда Ацерет выпадает на Субботу, и он (Кохейн) делится на два хлеба, которые являются хамец, и на хлеб шоу, который является маца—каждому говорят, когда ему дают свою долю в шоу хлеб: «Вот маца»; и когда ему дают свою долю в двух хлебах: «Вот хамец». Потому что одно предложение не распространяется вместо другого; но он получает долю от каждого предложения, а именно. (Там же 7:10): «Для всех сынов Аарона будет один человек, а другой». Поэтому ему сообщают, что ему дают свою долю, будь то хамец или маца.] Часы, время которых установлено [чтобы служить в этот субботний день, на который выпадает праздник], жертвуют темидином, [потому что они не для ради праздника], обетов и подарков [за весь год, которые были принесены на фестивале] и других подношений для собраний, [включая тельца «забывчивости» собрания и козлов для (искупления) идолопоклонства) где Бет-Дин ошибся в своем правлении, и большая часть собрания действовала согласно их правлению. Если они были предложены на фестивале, фиксированные часы приносят их в жертву.], И он жертвует всем, [включая (подношения) "летнего времени жертвенника", когда он (жертвенник) празден: когда тамид был приносятся в жертву и нет жертвоприношений обетов или подарков, за то, что осталось в лишках, берут деньги, за них покупают зверей за всесожжения и приносят их в жертву в качестве жертвоприношений. Это тоже, если они принесены в жертву на фестивале— неподвижные часы приносят их в жертву.] Если праздник выпал рядом с Субботой — или до или после него —все часы были равны в распределении хлеба шоу. [Если праздник выпал после Шаббата, хотя Шаббат не был в разгар праздника, тем не менее, поскольку они должны были прийти в канун субботы из-за праздника (не имея возможности прийти в субботу), они участвовали в шоу хлеб. Точно так же, если восьмой день (Суккот) выпал накануне субботы, хотя Шаббата не было в разгар праздника, они делили хлеб на шоу, поскольку не могли уйти.]

באימורי הרגלים – in what is offered on the Festivals, that is to say, the sacrifices that are offered on the Festivals, where all the divisions of duty for priests were equivalent, such that the breast and the foreleg of the Festival peace-offerings of each and every person and the burnt offerings made for appearance [in the Temple] and of the Additional offerings/Musaf of the community and the goats of the sin-offerings.

English Explanation of Mishnah Sukkah
Introduction
In yesterday’s mishnah we learned that the twenty-four priestly watches equally divided the sacrifices that were offered on account of the festival. Our mishnah now discusses the ownership over the other sacrifices that would have been offered on the three festivals.

ובחלוק לחם הפנים – when the Shabbat occurred during the festival, for on the Sabbath they would remove it and set up another, as it is written (Leviticus 24:8): “He shall arrange them before the LORD regularly every sabbath day…”

English Explanation of Mishnah Sukkah
At three periods in the year all the priestly watches shared equally in the festival sacrifices and in the division of the showbread. This is a reference to the previous mishnah. On all three festivals all of the watches shared equally in all of the sacrifices that came on account of the festival. This would include the musafim mentioned yesterday, but also the “hagigah” and other special sacrifices that individuals would bring on account of the festival. They also divided the showbread equally, despite the fact that the showbread is not really a sacrifice that comes on account of the festival.

ובעצרת – when it occurred on Shabbat, and there is division/distribution of the Hametz/leavened two loaves [of Shew Bread] and the distribution of the Shew Bread when it is unleavened, we say to each and every one that we are giving him their portion of the shewbread, “here you have unleavened.” For since we do not divide a sacrifice corresponding to a sacrifice, but from each sacrifice each person takes his portion, as we derive it from (Leviticus 7:10): “[But every other grain offering, with oil mixed in or dry,] shall go to the sons of Aaron all alike,” therefore, we announce to him when we give him his portion, whether from unleavened bread or from leavened bread.

English Explanation of Mishnah Sukkah
On Shavuot they used to say to the priest, “Here is matzah for you, here is chametz for you.” On Shavuot there were both the matzot of the showbread and leavened bread (chametz) from the two special loaves on Shavuot. Therefore they could amusingly say to the priest coming to take his share: here’s your matzah, here’s your chametz.

משמר שזמנו קבוע – to serve on this Shabbat where a Festival occurs during it.
Ask RabbiBookmarkShareCopy
English Explanation of Mishnah Sukkah
A watch whose period of service was fixed [for that festival week] offered the tamid, vow-offerings and freewill-offerings and all other public offerings; and it offered them all. The watch whose week fell on the week upon which there was a festival would get the offerings that were brought not on account of the festival. They would get the tamid, the daily offerings. They also received the individual voluntary offerings vow offerings and free-will offerings. They also received other public offerings not listed in the previous mishnah. This would include the Shabbat musaf offerings. Finally, they would get any offering that was brought for some reason other than the festival. This would include first-born animals and tithes. We should note that despite the fact that the festival offerings were divided up equally among the different watches, it surely would have been a bonus to have one’s watch fall on the festival for the simple reason that more people came to the Temple at these times. It was at these times of the year that people would have brought their voluntary offerings, their first-born animals, their animal tithes and other offerings. Hence, it was probably quite lucrative to have your watch fall during the festival.

מקריב תמידין – which are not for the Festival.
Ask RabbiBookmarkShareCopy
English Explanation of Mishnah Sukkah
A festival which fell next to Shabbat, either before or after it, all the watches shared equally in the distribution of the showbread. If Shabbat fell either on the day before the festival or the day after, all of the watches would receive an equal portion of the showbread. If it fell before the festival, they would have to get to Jerusalem before Shabbat, a day earlier than if the festival had fallen during the week. If it fell after the festival, they would have to stay a day later. Since they had to be there anyway, they received a portion of the showbread even though Shabbat was not on the festival.

מקריב את הכל – to include the altar’s summer time (a time when the altar was unemployed for private offerings, and the free-will burnt offerings had to be supplied from the Temple fund – see Mishnah Shekalim, Chapter 4, Mishnah 4 and Talmud Sukkah 56a), when it is unused for the offerings of the daily offerings have ceased and they do not bring thee vows or donations, they take from the excess monies from the remnant of the Temple treasury for congregational sacrifices and purchase from it burnt-offering sacrifices and offer them, and they are donations of the community, and even those if they were offered on the Festival, the priestly division of duty whose time is fixed offers them.

בין מלפניה בין מלאחריה – if Yom Tov/The Jewish Festival fell after Shabbat, even though there would not be a Sabbath during the Festival, even so, since it is necessary to advance their coming from Friday for the Festival, for on the Sabbath, they would not be able to come, we divide the shewbread [between them]. And similarly, if the eighth day came before it on Friday/the Eve of the Sabbath, even though there is no Sabbath in the midst of the Festival, we divide it [among them], for they would not be able to go.
