The priests who won the privilege of the removal of ash from the inner altar and of the removal of ash from the Candelabrum would precede the other priests and would hold four vessels in their hands: The basket, and the jug, and the two keys. The basket is similar to a large gold vessel with a capacity of three kav [letarkav], but it holds only two and a half kav. And the jug is similar to a large flask [lekitton] of gold. And as for the two keys, with one of them the priest would lower his arm to his armpit through a small opening in the door and open the lock that was at the bottom of the door on the inside, and he would pass through that door into a compartment. And the other one is the key with which the priest opened the lock on the inner door of the compartment, through which he entered the Sanctuary, and that lock he opened directly.

ืืื ื โ it is the language of (Deuteronomy 26:2): โ[you shall take some of every first fruit of he soil, which you harvest from the land that the LORD your God is giving you], put in a basket.โ It is similar to a basket but its mouth is wide.
ืืืืื (oil vessel โ in the shape of a large wine cup) โ a ladle; in the Arabic language they call it ALCUZ.
ืฉื ื ืืคืชืืืช โ to open two locks that are on the northern wicket.
ืชืจืงื (three kabs, a dry measure) โ a utensil that holds three kabim, and the language of โtarkav,โ is two [kabim] and a kab, and it was similar to a tarkav, but it didnโt hold other than two kabs and a half, and it was of gold.
ืืื ืืืจื ืืืืช ืืฉืื โ the northern wicket as is taught in the Mishnah further on (see Mishnah 7): โHe came to the northern wicket/door.โ It had wo locks, the one was below, inside at the bottom of the opening, and the Kohen that wanted to enter, would put in his forearm into the hole in the wall until his armpit and open it with his hand through the inside, and the other [lock], he opens with a key immediately without effort like all the other openings.
ืืืื (directly) โ like [Tractate Pesahim 37a โ Bartenura, at least as published in the standard ืืืื ืืืืขื edition of the Mishnah, states that this quote is on Pesahim 37b]: โhe may form the dough in a mould and attach it to the cake directlyโ (i.e., well-fitting without loss of time), meaning to say, quickly without trouble.
