Synopsis

Excerpt from New Edition of the Babylonian Talmud

Concerning the services proper at the Temple, we have to translate here for our English readers what we have already written in our Hebrew commentary to Tract Shekalim, chapter iv., Mishna D From this Mishna we can see that during the time of the Temple the leaders of the priests kept everything secret, and their customs were not known to any one else; otherwise there could not have been a dispute concerning the services there immediately after the destruction of the Temple. Moreover, R. Ishmael, himself a priest, and his forefathers, Elisha and Ishmael, were prominent priests during the time of the Temple; also R. Hanina the Segan was one of the promi nent priests, still they knew not exactly the ceremonies and the manner Of their performance, and differed in their opinions greatly. This must be borne in mind by the readers Of the tracts treating the services and sacrifices.
