צאו וראו. על מקום גבוה שהיה להם במקדש:
זמן השחיטה. שהשחיטה פסולה בלילה שנאמר (ויקרא י״ט) ביום זבחכם:
ברקאי. האיר והבריק השחר:
האיר פני כל המזרח. שלא היה אומר כלום עד שהאירו פני [כל] פני המזרח, שאין מספיק כשהבריק כנקודה בלבד. והלכה כמתיא בן שמואל:
עד שהוא בחברון. אותן העומדים למטה שואלים לו הגיע האור בחברון, והוא אומר הין. וכדי להזכיר זכות האבות הקבורים בחברון אומרים כן:

Bartenura
משלכת הטלאים – the chamber/office where the lambs of the daily offering/תמיד were.
לשכת החותמות – of those who take fine flour for meal offering and wine for libations, for they would go near the superintendent appointed over the seals and give him the money according to the libations that he requires, and he gives him a seal and he brings the seal to the superintendent over the libations and he receives from him libations. And the chamber that the superintendent sits in is called the chamber of the seals. And in Tractate Shekalim (see Chapter 5, Mishnah 3), it explains that there four seals in the Temple and it was written on them: “calf, ram, kid and sinner” When he brings the seal that is written on it, “calf,” it is known that he gave money for the libations of a bull. [When he brings the seal that is written on it] “ram,” it is known that he gave money for the libations of a ram, for the Aramaic translation of a ram is דכרא /male of the flock (ram). [When he brings the seal that is written on it], “kid,” it is known that he brought the money for the libations of a lamb. [When he brings the seal that is written on it], “sinner,” it is known that he brought the money for the libations for a leper.
