יומא פרק ב׳ משנה ד׳

4
Before the third lottery, the appointee declared: Let only those priests who are new to offering the incense come and participate in the lottery for the incense. The fourth lottery was open to those new to the service along with those old hands who had already performed it,to determine who would take the limbs up from the ramp, where they had been placed earlier, to the altar.
הַפַּיִס הַשְּׁלִישִׁי, חֲדָשִׁים לַקְּטֹרֶת בֹּאוּ וְהָפִיסוּ. וְהָרְבִיעִי, חֲדָשִׁים עִם יְשָׁנִים, מִי מַעֲלֶה אֵבָרִים מִן הַכֶּבֶשׁ וְלַמִּזְבֵּחַ:
ד׳

חדשים לקטורת – this is what they would announce in the Temple court, that is to say, whomever was not worthy of the incense all of his life, should come and decide by chance. But they would not allow someone who was found worthy of it once [already] to repeat it, because he becomes wealthy as it is written (Deuteronomy 33:10-11): “They shall offer You incense to savor [and whole-offerings on Your altar]. Bless, O LORD, his substance…” For since every Kohen who offers incense would become wealthy and blessed on its account, therefore, they would not allow a person to repeat it, in order that all could be wealthy and blessed through it.

חדשים גם ישנים – he who was worthy of the lottery other times and he who never was worthy of it ever, come and participate in the lottery.

מי מעלה אברים מן הכבש למזבח – when they would bring up the limbs from the slaughter house, they would not bring them to the Altar, but rather place them on the lower half of the ramp in the east and conduct another lottery – who will bring them from the place where they are lying on the ramp to the altar, and they would do such because of [the Biblical adage] (Proverbs 14:28): “A numerous people is the glory of a king…”

חדשים לקטורת. כך היו מכריזין בעזרה. כלומר מי שלא זכה בקטורת כל ימיו יבא ויפיס. ולא היה מניחין למי שזכה בה פעם אחת לשנות בה, מפני שמעשרת, דכתיב (דברים ל״ג:י׳) ישימו קטורה באפך וכו׳ ברך ה׳ חילו. ולפי שכל כהן המקטיר קטורת היה מתעשר ומתברך בשבילה לפיכך לא היו מניחין לשנות בה אדם, כדי שיהיו הכל מתעשרים ומתברכים בה:

חדשים גם ישנים. מי שזכה בפייס פעמים אחרות, ומי שלא זכה בו מעולם, בואו והפיסו:

מי מעלה אברים מן הכבש למזבח. כשהיו מוליכין האברים מבית המטבחים לא היו מוליכים אותם למזבח אלא נותנים אותם מחצי כבש ולמטה במזרח ומפיסין פייס אחר מי מעלה אותם ממקום הנחתן בכבש למזבח. והיו עושין כן משום ברוב עם הדרת מלך:

Mishnah 2

Mishnayos Yoma Perek 2 Mishnah 5

יומא פרק ב׳ משנה ה׳

5
The daily offering is sacrificed and its limbs are carried by nine priests, as mentioned in a previous mishna. These nine carry the limbs and the accompanying libations and meal-offerings. Occasionally, the service is performed by ten priests, occasionally by eleven, and sometimes by twelve priests; no fewer than nine and no more than twelve. How so? The daily offering itself is sacrificed by nine priests, as explained earlier. On the festival of Sukkot a priest in whose hand is a jug of water for the water libation is added, and there are ten priests. On Sukkot, a water libation is poured on the altar in addition to the standard wine libation. In the daily afternoon offering, eleven priests participate in the service. How so? The daily offering itself is sacrificed by nine, and there are an additional two priests in whose hands are two logs that are placed on the altar. The mitzva of placing the two logs in the morning was assigned in the first lottery, as the Gemara explained earlier. On Shabbat, eleven priests participate. How so? The daily morning offering itself is performed by nine, and there are an additional two priests in whose hands are two vessels of frankincense that accompany the shewbread. This frankincense is burned on Shabbat. And on Shabbat that occurs within the festival of Sukkot there is an additional priest in whose hand is a jug of water for the water libation, for a total of twelve priests.
תָּמִיד קָרֵב בְּתִשְׁעָה, בַּעֲשָׂרָה, בְּאַחַד עָשָׂר, בִּשְׁנֵים עָשָׂר, לֹא פָחוֹת וְלֹא יוֹתֵר. כֵּיצַד. עַצְמוֹ בְּתִשְׁעָה. בֶּחָג, בְּיַד אֶחָד צְלוֹחִית שֶׁל מַיִם, הֲרֵי כָאן עֲשָׂרָה. בֵּין הָעַרְבַּיִם, בְּאַחַד עָשָׂר, הוּא עַצְמוֹ בְּתִשְׁעָה, וּשְׁנַיִם בְּיָדָם שְׁנֵי גְזִירֵי עֵצִים. וּבְשַׁבָּת בְּאַחַד עָשָׂר, הוּא עַצְמוֹ בְּתִשְׁעָה, וּשְׁנַיִם בְּיָדָם שְׁנֵי בְזִיכֵי לְבוֹנָה שֶׁל לֶחֶם הַפָּנִים. וּבְשַׁבָּת שֶׁבְּתוֹךְ הֶחָג, בְּיַד אֶחָד צְלוֹחִית שֶׁל מָיִם:

תמיד קרב – from the time the limbs are brought and onward, it is considered.

עצמו – on every day, nine [priests]; six for the limbs and the innards, as we stated above (Mishnah 3) and one for the fine flour, and one for the baked cakes and one for the wine.

ובחג – [and on the holiday] which requires two libations, one of wine and one of water and in the hand of one Kohen is a flask (i.e., a bottle with a wide belly and a narrow neck) .

ושל בין הערבים – for on each day, two [things] are in their hands, two pieces of wood, to add to the wood of the arrangement of wood on the altar in the Temple, as it is written (Leviticus 1:7): “[The sons of Aaron the priest shall]…lay out wood upon the fire,” for if it was not the matter of the morning daily-offering, of which it is was already stated (Leviticus 6:5): “every morning the priest shall feed wood to it,” give it for the matter of the daily offering of the mid-afternoon where they add two pieces of wood.

תמיד קרב. משעת הולכת אברים ואילך קחשיב:

עצמו. בכל יום תשעה. ששה לאברים ולקרבים, כדאמרינן לעיל, ואחד לסולת. ואחד לחביתין ואחד ליין:

ובחג. שצריך שני נסוכין, אחד של יין ואחד של מים ביד כהן אחד צלוחית של מים:

של בין הערבים. שבכל יום שנים בידם שני גזירי עצים להוסיף על עצי מערכה דכתיב, (ויקרא א׳:ז׳) וערכו עצים על האש, אם אינו ענין לתמיד של שחר שכבר נאמר וביער עליה הכהן עצים תנהו ענין לתמיד של בין הערבים שמוסיפים שני גזירי עצים:
