יומא ד׳:ב׳ - ד׳:ג׳

לשון של זהורית – red colored wool.

כנגד בית שלוחו – corresponding to the gate that it would be taken out.

ולנשחט – he would tie a crimson-colored strap corresponding to its slaughter house, that is to say, at its neck, and now it would not come to be switched with the goat that is to send off, for this one (i.e., the goat that is to be sent off) is tied at its head, and this one at its neck. And [regarding] both of them, with the rest of the goats, they are not switched, for these, a crimson-colored strap is tied and the other goats, there is no crimson-colored strap tied to them.

עויתי פשעתי חטאתי – Our Mishnah is [according to] Rabbi Meir, as it is written (Leviticus 16:21): “[Aaron shall lay both his hands upon the head of the live goat] and confess over it all the iniquities and transgressions of the Israelites, whatever their sins, [putting them on the head of the goat…]}. But the Sages dispute him and say, that “iniquities” are those acts committed wantonly, and “transgressions” are [acts of] rebellion, and “sins” are inadvertent sins, for after he (i.e., the High Priest) confessed on the iniquities and on the [acts of] rebellion, he returns and confesses on the inadvertent acts, in astonishment, but rather, he states, I sinned, I committed iniquities, I committed transgressions. And similarly, regarding David, he says (Psalms 106:6): “We have sinned like our forefathers; we have gone astray, done evil.” And the Halakha is according to the Sages. But what is it that Moses stated (Exodus 34:7): “...forgiving iniquity, transgression and sin?” Such said Moses before God, that the Jewish people sins and does repentance, their iniquities become like inadvertent sins.

ממרס – he stirs and shakes and mixes it, so that it not become congealed when he delays until he performs the service of the incense.

על הרובד הרביעי – each row of the stones of the floor is called a terrace (i.e., a paved level space between the steps in the Temple hall) (see Tractate Yoma 43b), and it is impossible to explain the fourth terrace in the hall containing the golden altar. The fourth row that is in the midst of the hall containing the golden altar from the opening of the hall containing the golden altar and inwards, for it is written (Leviticus 16:17): “[When he goes in to make expiation in the Shrine], nobody else shall be in the Tent of Meeting [until he comes out],” but it teaches the fourth terrace of the hall containing the golden altar, that is to say, the fourth terrace in the courtyard, that goes from the hall containing the golden altar to the courtyard, he counts the terraces and places it on the fourth terrace and stands there and stirs it. For inside the hall containing the golden altar, it is impossible as we have stated.

וחותה – he takes coals out with a pan and sets down the coal-pan until he grabs handfuls of the incense [with both hands] and places it within the pan and afterwards brings the pan and the coal-pan inside.
