בכל יום. כשחותה גחלים ממערכה שניה של קטורת להכניס על מזבח הפנימי לקטורת שחרית וערבית:
חותה בשל כסף ומערה בשל זהב. ואינו חותה בשל זהב, שחתיית הגחלים שוחקת הכלי ומחסרתו והתורה חסה על ממונן של ישראל:
והיום חותה בשל זהב. שלא להטריח על כהן גדול לערות מכלי אל כלי:
כבדה. שהיה דופנה עבה:
והיום קלה. שהיה דופנה דק:
והיום ארוכה. כדי שתהא זרוע של כהן גדול מסייעתו:
והיום אדום. מזהב הקרוי זהב פרוים, על שם שדומה לדם פרים:
פרס. חצי מנה:
דקה מן הדקה. דכתיב (ויקרא ט״ז:י״ב) ומלא חפניו קטורת סמים דקה. ומה תלמוד לומר והלא כבר נאמר (שמות ל׳:ל״ו) ושחקת ממנה הדק אלא לומר לך שקטורת של יום הכפורים תהא דקה מן הדקה:

Mishnayos Yoma Perek 4 Mishnah 5
יומא פרק ד׳ משנה ה׳
Bartenura
בכל יום עולין במזרחו של כבש – as the Master stated: “All turns/movements that you face should not be other than in the path of the right side, which is to the east. For the ramp is in the south, therefore when one ascends to the east of the ramp which is nearest to the right turn.
והיום כהן גדול – because of his honor [in order to] demonstrate his importance that he is like a member of the household, and he walks in the place where he desires, what the other priests are not allowed to do.
בכל יום עולין במזרחו של כבש. דאמר מר כל פינות שאתה פונה לא יהו אלא דרך ימין, שהוא למזרח, שהרי הכבש בדרום, לכך עולין במזרחו של כבש שסמוך לפנות לימין:
והיום כהן גדול. משום כבודו להראות חשיבותו שהוא כבן בית והולך במקום שהוא חפץ מה שאין שאר כהנים רשאין לעשות כן:
