Тельцу предлагают двадцать четыре (священника): голову и ногу —голова с одним и нога с двумя; хвост и нога—хвост с двумя и нога с двумя; сундук и гере—сундук с одним и гере с тремя; две передние ноги, с двумя; две грудные клетки, с двумя; внутренности, мука и вино, по три на каждого. Когда это так? [что все эти священники необходимы для каждого зверя, и требуется лотерея]? С коммунальными предложениями. Но с индивидуальными предложениями, если он [один священник] желает предложить это [все] [без лотереи], он может сделать это. Добыча и разделение [индивидуальных и коммунальных предложений] одинаковы. [Они могут быть выполнены не священником, не требующим Cohein.]

English Explanation of Mishnah Yoma
Introduction
The final mishnah of this chapter teaches that sacrificial bulls, who were far larger than the rams and young sheep mentioned in the previous mishayot, and whose sacrifice required more flour and wine, were offered by twenty-four priests, instead of the nine for a sheep and eleven for a ram.

English Explanation of Mishnah Yoma
To what does this refer? To communal offerings. But individual offerings, if a single priest wants to offer [all], he may do so. This section refers to all of the above mishnayot in which priests divide the task of offering various parts of a young sheep, a ram or a bull. The mishnah now teaches that this division refers to public offerings, such as the tamid or the musaf (the additional offering). However, if any of these animals are brought by individuals a single priest may perform all of the tasks himself. Assumedly, although the mishnah does not state this, the individual who brings the sacrifice is the same one who is allowed to decide which or how many priests offer it.

English Explanation of Mishnah Yoma
But as to the flaying and dismembering [of both communal and individual sacrifices] the same regulations apply. When it comes to the flaying and cutting up (dismembering) of both communal and individual sacrifices, the same rules apply. This refers to the fact that both of these tasks may be performed by non-priests and do not require any priestly count.
