משנה: יוֹם טוֹב הָרִאשׁוֹן שֶׁל חָג הָיוּ שָׁם שְׁלשָׁה עָשָׂר פָּרִים וְאֵילִים שְׁנַיִם וְשָׂעִיר אֶחָד. נִשְׁתַּיְירוּ שָׁם אַרְבָּעַה עָשָׂר כְּבָשִׂים לִשְׁמוֹנָה מִשְׁמָרוֹת. בַּיּוֹם הָרִאשׁוֹן שִׁשָּׁה מַקְרִיבִין שְׁנַיִם שְׁנַיִם וְהַשְּׁאָר אֶחָד אֶחָד. בַּשֵּׁנִי חֲמִשָּׁה מַקְרִיבִין שְׁנַיִם שְׁנַיִם וְהַשְׁאָר אֶחָד אֶחָד. בַּשְּׁלִישִׁי אַרְבָּעָה מַקְרִיבִין שְׁנַיִם שְׁנַיִם וְהַשְׁאָר אֶחָד אֶחָד. בָּרְבִיעִי שְׁלשָׁה מַקְרִיבִין שְׁנַיִם שְׁנַיִם וְהַשְּׁאָר אֶחָד אֶחָד. בַּחֲמִישִׁי שְׁנַיִם מַקְרִיבִין שְׁנַיִם שְׁנַיִם וְהַשְּׁאָר אֶחָד אֶחָד. בַּשִּׁשִּׁי אֶחָד מַקְרִיב שְׁנַיִם וְהַשְּׁאָר אֶחָד אֶחָד. בַּשְּׁבִיעִי כּוּלָּן שָׁוִוין. בַּשְּׁמִינִי חָזְרוּ לַפַּיֵיס כִּרְגָלִים. אָמְרוּ מִי שֶׁהִקְרִיב הַיּוֹם לֹא הָיָה מַקְרִיב פְּרִים לְמָחָר אֶלָּא חוֹזְרִין חֲלִילָה:
MISHNAH: On the first holiday of Tabernacles there were thirteen bulls, and two rams, and one goat. There remained there fourteen sheep for eight watches125The families of Cohanim were divided into 24 “watches” enumerated in 1Chr. 24:7–18. As stated in Halakhah 8, in principle each watch was serving for one week in the Temple, the succession being determined by the order fixed in Chronicles; after watch 24 a new cycle is started with watch 1. But on holidays, all watches are equal, since all their members are obligated to appear in the Temple with the rest of Israel. On the first day there were 16 animals other than sheep; if each animal was given to a separate watch, there remained 14 sheep for the remaining 8 watches..
On the first day, six were sacrificing two each, and the remaining, one each. On the second day, five were sacrificing two each, and the remaining, one each. On the third day, four were sacrificing two each, and the remaining, one each. On the fourth day, three were sacrificing two each, and the remaining, one each. On the fifth day, two were sacrificing two each, and the remaining, one each. On the sixth day, one was sacrificing two, and the remaining, one each126The number of bulls decreased by one every day (Num. 29:12–31); therefore the number of watches available for the sheep increased by one every day, the number of watches getting two sheep decreased by one every day.. On the seventh day, all were equal. On the eighth day they returned to the lottery as on holidays127The lottery, to determine which Cohen received which office in the service, as described in Yoma Chapter 2, open to all Cohanim irrespective of their watches.. They said, he who sacrificed today may not sacrifice bulls the next day, but they were taking turns128There were 70 bulls in all during the week of Tabernacles. Therefore 22 watches had the occasion to work on 3 bulls each, but 2 watches received only two..

הלכה: תַּנֵּי. כָּל הַמִּשְׁמָרוֹת שֶׁהָיוּ בַמִּקְדָּשׁ הָיוּ שׁוֹנוֹת וּמְשַׁלְּשׁוֹת בַּפָּרִים חוּץ מִשְׁתַּיִם הָאַחֲרוֹנוֹת שֶׁהָיוּ שׁוֹנוֹת וְלֹא הָיוּ מְשַׁלְּשׁוֹת בַּפָּרִים. רִבִּי לָעְזָר שָׁאַל. מָהוּ לְהַתְחִיל מֵהֶן לָרֶגֶל הַבָּא. אָמַר רִבִּי יוֹסֵה. מַתְנִיתָא אָמְרָה כֵן. בַּשְּׁמִינִי חָזְרוּ לַפַּיֵיס כִּרְגָלִים. לֹא צוֹרְכָה דִילָא כְּהָדָא דְתַנֵּי בְשֵׁם רִבִּי נָתָן. דְּתַנֵּי רִבִּי נָתָן. שְׁמִינִי לֹא הָיָה בוֹ פַּיִיס. עַל דַּעֵתֵּיהּ דְּרִבִּי נָתָן מָהוּ לְהַתְחִיל מֵהֶן לָרֶגֶל הַבָּא.
HALAKHAH: It was stated: All watches in the Temple doubled and tripled with bulls, except for the two last ones who doubled but did not triple128,There were 70 bulls in all during the week of Tabernacles. Therefore 22 watches had the occasion to work on 3 bulls each, but 2 watches received only two.129Tosephta 4:15, Babli 55b.. Rebbi Eleazar asked, would one start with them on the next holiday? Rebbi Yose said, the Mishnah says this, “on the eighth day they returned to the lottery as on holidays.130Since on all other holidays, when there are only one or two bulls, the lottery is among individual Cohanim, not watches, it is clear that the remaining two watches are not given preferential treatment on the separate holiday following Tabernacles.” It only is a problem following what was stated in the name of Rebbi Nathan: On the eighth day there was no lottery. In Rebbi Nathan’s opinion, would one start with them on the next holiday?

אָמַר רִבִּי יוֹחָנָן. וְתַנֵּי כֵן. שְׁמִינִי רֶגֶל בִּפְנֵי עַצְמוֹ. פַּיִיס בִּפְנֵי עַצְמוֹ. בְּרָכָה בִּפְנֵי עַצְמָהּ. קָרְבָּן בִּפְנֵי עַצְמוֹ. רֶגֶל. דְּאָמַר רִבִּי אַבִּין בְּשֵׁם רִבִּי אָחָא. כּוּלְּהֹם כְּתִיב וּבַיּוֹם וְכָאן כְּתִיב בַּיּוֹם. לְלַמְּדָךְ שֶׁהוּא רֶגֶל בִּפְנֵי עַצְמוֹ. פַּיִיס. אָמַר רִבִּי יוֹסֵה. מַתְנִיתָא אָמְרָה כֵן. בַּשְּׁמִינִי חָזְרוּ לַפַּיֵיס כִּרְגָלִים. בְּרָכָה. אָמַר אִילָא. זְמָן. קָרְבָּן. פַּר אֶחָד אַיִל אֶחָד.
131This is copied in Ḥagigah1:6 (76c 1. 23,ח). Rebbi Joḥanan said, it was stated so that the eighth day was a separate holiday, a separate lottery, a separate benediction, a separate sacrifice132Tosephta 4:17.. Holiday, as Rebbi Abbin said in the name of Rebbi Aḥa, for all of them is written and on day, but here is written on day, to teach you that it is a separate holiday133In the list of sacrifices for days 2–7 of Tabernacles the first words always are and on day, Num. 29:17,20,23,26,29,32, but the listing for the eighth day starts on the eighth day without connective (Num. 29:35).. Lottery, Rebbi Yose said, the Mishnah says this, “on the eighth day they returned to the lottery as on holidays.” Benediction, Illa134He is R. La as noted in Ḥagigah. said, time135“Who let us live, and supported us, and let us reach this time.”. Sacrifice, one bull and one ram135*Num. 29:36. These numbers are characteristic of the High Holidays..
