Mishnah 1

Mishnayos Yoma Perek 3 Mishnah 3

יומא פרק ג׳ משנה ג׳

3
A person does not enter the Temple courtyard for the Temple service, even if he is pure, until he immerses. Five immersions and ten sanctifications the High Priest immerses and sanctifies his hands and feet, respectively, on the day of Yom Kippur. And all of these immersions and sanctifications take place in the sacred area, the Temple courtyard, on the roof of the Hall of Parva, except for this first immersion alone. As that immersion is not unique to Yom Kippur, it may be performed outside the courtyard.
אֵין אָדָם נִכְנָס לָעֲזָרָה לָעֲבוֹדָה, אֲפִלּוּ טָהוֹר, עַד שֶׁיִּטְבֹּל. חָמֵשׁ טְבִילוֹת וַעֲשָׂרָה קִדּוּשִׁין טוֹבֵל כֹּהֵן גָּדוֹל וּמְקַדֵּשׁ בּוֹ בַיּוֹם, וְכֻלָּן בַּקֹּדֶשׁ עַל בֵּית הַפַּרְוָה, חוּץ מִזּוֹ בִלְבָד:
ג׳

לעבודה – not necessarily

עד שיטבול – and the matters are [understood] via a conclusion a minori ad majus, for just as the second to the High Priest is sanctified for the Holy {Service], from the Divine Service outside to the Divine Service inside, and from the Service inside [the Temple] to the Divine Service outside, and which requires immersion between each Divine Service, the individual who comes from his house which is from the “secular” to the Holy, does he not all the more so require ritual immersion?

על בית הפרוה – on the chamber/compartment of the House of the Parveh.

חוץ מזו – the first, which was in the non-holy area near the Gate of the Water, and it was at the side of his chamber.

לעבודה. לאו דוקא:

עד שיטבול. שהדברים קל וחומר ומה כהן גדול המשנה מקודש לקודש, מעבודת חוץ לעבודת פנים ומעבודת פנים לעבודת חוץ, טעון טבילה בין עבודה לעבודה, זה הבא מביתו שהוא מחול לקודש לא כל שכן שטעון טבילה:

על בית הפרוה. על לשכת בית הפרוה:

חוץ מזו. הראשונה, שהיתה בחול ע״ג שער המים, ובצד לשכתו היתה:

Mishnayos Yoma Perek 3 Mishnah 4

יומא פרק ג׳ משנה ד׳

4
They spread a sheet of fine linen between him and the people in the interest of modesty, and then the High Priest immersed and sanctified his hands and feet. The High Priest removed the white garments that he was wearing, descended to the ritual bath, and immersed. He ascended and dried himself with a towel. Then they brought him the golden garments of the High Priest, and he dressed in the garments, and he sanctified his hands and his feet. They brought him the sheep for the daily morning offering, which he slaughtered by cutting most of the way through the gullet and the windpipe. And a different priest completed the slaughter on his behalf so that the High Priest could receive the blood in a vessel and proceed with the order of the Yom Kippur service. As soon as the slaughter was completed, the High Priest received the blood in a vessel and sprinkled it on the altar. He entered the Sanctuary to burn the morning incense and to remove the ashes from the lamps of the candelabrum; and he left the Sanctuary and returned to the courtyard to sacrifice the head and the limbs of the sheep sacrificed for the daily offering and the High Priest’s daily griddle-cake offering, and the wine libation of the daily offering.
פֵּרְסוּ סָדִין שֶׁל בּוּץ בֵּינוֹ לְבֵין הָעָם. פָּשַׁט, יָרַד וְטָבַל, עָלָה וְנִסְתַּפֵּג. הֵבִיאוּ לוֹ בִגְדֵי זָהָב, וְלָבַשׁ וְקִדֵּשׁ יָדָיו וְרַגְלָיו. הֵבִיאוּ לוֹ אֶת הַתָּמִיד. קְרָצוֹ, וּמֵרַק אַחֵר שְׁחִיטָה עַל יָדוֹ. קִבֵּל אֶת הַדָּם וּזְרָקוֹ. נִכְנַס לְהַקְטִיר קְטֹרֶת שֶׁל שַׁחַר, וּלְהֵטִיב אֶת הַנֵּרוֹת, וּלְהַקְרִיב אֶת הָרֹאשׁ וְאֶת הָאֵבָרִים וְאֶת הַחֲבִתִּין וְאֶת הַיָּיִן:
ד׳

סדין של בוץ – in order that he recognize that the Divine service of the Day (i.e., Yom Kippur) would be in linen garments, since he is accustomed to serve all year long in golden garments.

ונסתפג – be wiped off (i.e., dried off).

וקדש ידיו ורגליו – from the basin (i.e., the laver for the priests in the Temple court), for he requires for all changes of clothing during the Day (i.e., Yom Kippur) sanctification for undressing and sanctification for dressing. But this first immersion [in the Mikveh] [is needed] since undressing was of weekday clothing, and tit was not necessary for sanctification of the hands and feet upon undressing.

קרצו – he slaughtered it through the majority of the two signs (i.e., the windpipe and gullet), he who was fit for slaughtering.

ומירק אחר – Another Kohen completed the slaughtering, for the receiving of he blood is not fit other than by the High Priest who needs to do it quickly and receive the blood.

על ידו – for him; alternatively, by him, after him and next to him, such as in the Book of Ezra (actually the Book of Nehemiah) (Chapter 3, verses 8 and 17): “Next to them, Melatiah the Gibeonite and Jadon the Meronothite repaired….”(and) “After him, the Levites repaired: Rehum son of Bani. Next to Him, Hashabiah, chief of Sof half the district of Keilah, repaired for his district.”

סדין של בוץ. כדי שיכיר שעבודת היום בבגדי בוץ, לפי שהוא רגיל לשמש כל השנה כולה בבגדי זהב:

ונסתפג. ונתקנח:

וקדש ידיו ורגליו. מן הכיור. שצריך לכל חליפות בגדי היום קדוש לפשיטה וקדוש ללבישה. וטבילה ראשונה זו שהפשיטה של בגדי חול היא, לא הוצרך קדוש ידים ורגלים על הפשיטה:

קרצו. שחטו ברוב שני סימנין, הכשר שחיטה בלבד:

ומירק אחר. וגמר כהן אחר בשחיטה. לפי שאין קבלת הדם כשרה אלא בכהן גדול וצריך למהר ולקבל:

על ידו. בשבילו. אי נמי על ידו, אחריו וסמוך לו כמו ועל ידו החזיק. בספר עזרא:
