תשעים ושלשה כלי כסף וכלי זהב. לא אתפרש למה הוצרכו למנין של כלים הללו. ובירושלמי במסכת חגיגה אמרו כנגד תשעים ושלש אזכרות שבנבואות חגי זכריה ומלאכי:
השקו את התמיד. סמוך לשחיטתו, כדי שיהא עורו נפשט יפה:
בכוס של זהב. אית דאמרי גוזמא קתני דלא של זהב היה, אלא של נחושת יפה כזהב. ואית דאמרי בכוס של זהב ממש, שאין עניות במקום עשירות:
אף על פי שמבוקר. דתמיד טעון בקור ממום ארבעה ימים קודם שחיטתו, דומיא דשה הפסח:

ושלשה סדרים (three rows) – of hooks, it was this one above that one in all the pieces of the tree, to suspend/hang large animal or a small one.
על שלחנות של שיש שבין העמודים – for on them they would rinse the insides and it was possible to make them out of gold, for there is no poverty in the place of wealth/splendor, but they did not make them of anything other than marble because the gold shakes and smells bad, but the marble is cold and cools off and preserves it so that it does nor become putrid.

ושלשה סדרים. של אונקליות זו למעלה מזו היה בכל חתיכת עץ, לתלות בהמה גדולה או קטנה:
על שלחנות של שיש שבין העמודים. שעליהם מדיחין הקרבים. והיה אפשר לעשותן של זהב, שאין עניות במקום עשירות, ולא עשאום אלא של שיש לפי שהזהב מרתיח ומסריח, והשיש מקרר ומצנן ומעמידו שלא יסריח:

After World War II, in 1947, Rav Yonah Sztencl, a disciple of Rav Frommer, expanded the program, advocating for a comprehensive study of Shishah Sidrei Mishnah.

תשעים ושלשה כלי כסף וכלי זהב – it is not explained why it was necessary for the number of these utensils. But in the Jerusalem Talmud in the Tractate Hagigah, they said that it corresponds to the ninety-three mentionings [of the Divine Name] in the prophecies of Haggai, Zechariah and Malachi.
השקו את התמיד – [they gave the lamb to be slaughtered as the daily offering water] near the time of its slaughtering, in order that its hide will be straightened out/become flat nicely.
בכוס של זהב – there are those who state that an exaggeration was taught, for it (i.e, the cup that the lamb drank from) was not made of of gold, but of a fine copper that like gold, and there are those who stated that it was a cup actually of gold, for there is no poverty in the place of wealthy splendor.[to demonstrate the greatness and honor attributed to the place].
אע"פ שמבוקר – the daily offering requires inspection from physical defect four times prior to its slaughter, simila to the Passover lamb.
