3)
(a) Everyone agrees that they would pour oil on the incumbent's head and place oil [which is equivalent to anointing] between his eye-lashes). What does one Tana learn from the Pasuk in Tzav "Vayitzok mi'Shemen ha'Mishchah al Rosh Aharon, Vayimshach Oso Lekadsho"?
(b) How does the Tana who gives precedence to the anointing, and who learns it from the Holy vessels, on which they anointed (without pouring at all), explain the above Pasuk?
(c) How does the Beraisa explain the Pasuk in Tehilim "ka'Shemen ha'Tov al ha'Rosh ha'Yored al ha'Zakan, Z'kan Aharon"?
(d) What does Rav Papa say happened to the drops of oil whenever Aharon shaved (as the Kohen Gadol was obligated to do every day).
(e) What is the significance of the Pasuk written in the same Kapitel ...
1. ... "ke'Tal Chermon"?
2. ... "Hinei Mah Tov u'Mah Na'im Sheves Achim Gam Yachad"?

1. ... live until the end of the coming year?

7)
(a) In the Pasuk in Vayikra "Im ha'Kohen ha'Mashi'ach Yecheta" (in connection with the Par He'elam Davar), why does the Torah need to add ...
1. ... "Kohen"? What would we have thought had it only written "Mashi'ach"?
2. ... "Mashi'ach"? What would we have thought had it only written "Kohen"?
(b) What do we then learn from the extra 'Hey' in both "ha'Kohen and ha'Mashi'ach"?
(c) And we base this Limud on Rava, who says "ha'Yerech", 'ha'Meyumenes she'be'Yerech'. What do we learn from there?
(d) How could the Tana even suggest that "Mashi'ach" means a king, seeing as a king brings a Sa'ir, and not a Par?

8)
(a) We establish the Reisha of our Mishnah, which distinguishes between a Kohen Mashu'ach and a Merubeh Begadim with regard to a Par He'elam Davar, not like Rebbi Meir. Why is that? What does Rebbi Meir say in a Beraisa about a Kohen Gadol Merubeh Begadim?
(b) From where does he learn that?
(c) We query this however, from the Seifa ('Ein bein Kohen Meshamesh le'Kohen she'Avar ... '), based on another statement of Rebbo Meir, who rules in a Beraisa that, when the Kohen ha'Meshamesh becomes Tahor, the Kohen she'Avar continues to perform the Avodah. On what basis does Rebbi Yossi disqualify him from performing the Avodah in the capacity of ...
1. ... a Kohen Gadol?
2. ... a Kohen Hedyot?
(d) What incident does Rebbi Yossi cite with regard to Yosef ben Eikim from Tzipori (a Kohen Gadol who once became Tamei and whom they replaced)?
(e) In any event, the author of the Seifa appears to be Rebbi Meir. How do we reconcile this with the fact that we just established the Reisha like the Rabbanan?

(a) We just established the Reisha of our Mishnah like the Rabbanan, and the Seifa like Rebbi Meir. What does Rav Chisda comment on this?
(b) What does Rav Yosef mean when he establishes the entire Mishnah like Rebbi?
(c) Rava establishes the entire Mishnah like Rebbi Shimon. On what basis does he do that?

(a) Besides the eight Halachos of a Kohen Gadol discussed in our Mishnah, the Beraisa adds another six that pertain to him exclusively (and not to a Kohen Hedyot). Which two prohibitions pertain to him with regard to Korbanos, even though he is permitted to sacrifice them even when he is an Onan?
(b) A Kohen Gadol has first choice in two matters. One of them is that he may choose to sacrifice any Korban that he pleases. What is the other?
(c) He wears the eight garments of a Kohen Gadol, and only he may perform the Avodah on Yom Kipur. For which Chiyuv Kareis is he exempt from bringing a Korban Chatas?
click for answer
(a) From which ...
1. ... solitary case does the Tana preclude a Merubeh Begadim? With whose opinion does this conform?
2. ... two cases does he preclude a Kohen she'Avar? With whose opinion does this conform?
(b) And what does he add regarding 'Lo Porei'a ve'Lo Poreim (not to allow his hair to grow long and not to rent his clothes in mourning), Ein Metamei li'Kerovim, Muzhar al ha'Besulah, Asur be'Almanah, and Machzir es ha'Rotzei'ach'?
(c) Why specifically these five?
(d) The last Halachah ('Machzir es ha'Rotzei'ach') is the opinion of Rebbi Yehudah. What do the Chachamim say?
(e) Rava establishes this Beraisa like Rebbi Shimon [like he did our Mishnah]).. How does Rav Papa prove this?
click for answer
(a) The Pasuk in Emor, which forbids a Kohen Gadol to let his hair grow long, rent his garments and render himself Tamei for a deceased relative begins "ve'ha'Kohen ha'Gadol me'Echav asher Yutzak al Rosho Shemen ha'Mishchah, u'Milei es Yado Lil'bosh es ha'Begadim". If "ha'Kohen ha'Gadol ... " refers to a Kohen Mashu'ach, which category of Kohen Gadol is contained in the words ...
1. ... "asher Yutzak al Rosho"?
2. ... "u'Milei es Yado Lil'bosh es ha'Begadim"?
(b) And what does the Tana learn from the word ...
1. ... "Alav" (in the Pasuk in Emor "ki Neizer Shemen Mishchas Elokav Alav" [in connection with an Onan])?
2. ... "ve'Hu (in the Pasuk [Ibid.] in connection with a Kohen Gadol "ve'Hu Ishah bi'Vesulehah Yikach"?
(c) This is the opinion of Rebbi Yishmael. Whom, according to Rebbi Akiva, does "ve'Hu" come to include?

(a) Rava asked Rav Nachman whether a Kohen Gadol who contracts Tzara'as is permitted to marry an Almanah. What are the two sides to the She'eilah?
(b) Rav Nachman was unable to resolve the She'eilah. How did his son Rav Huna resolve it from the previous Beraisa?
(c) What was Rav Papa's reaction when he heard this from Rav Huna b'rei de'Rav Nachman?
click for answer
(a) We already learned earlier that when a close relative dies, a Kohen Gadol performs neither P'ri'ah nor P'rimah, and that he sacrifices Korbanos as usual. How does our Mishnah qualify the Din of 'Eino Porem'? How does the Tana distinguish between the P'rimah of a Kohen Hedyot, and that of a Kohen Gadol?
(b) Rav and Shmuel both take 'Lema'alah' in our Mishnah (of a Kohen Gadol's P'rimah) literally. Rav explains 'Lematah' literally, too. What does Shmuel say?
(c) What distinction does the Beraisa draw between the K'ri'ah for parents and for other relatives?
(d) Why does that present Shmuel with a problem?
click for answer
(a) To solve the problem, we establish Shmuel like Rebbi Yehudah. What does Rebbi Yehudah say about a tear that does not totally divide the two sections of the garment?
(b) In another Beraisa, Rebbi Yehudah discusses the Pasuk in Emor "es Rosho Lo Yifra, u'Vegadav Lo Yifrom". What does he mean when he says that if the Pasuk had said 'Rosh' and 'Beged', he would have interpreted it to mean that of a Sotah?
(c) How does he explain the Pasuk now that it says "Rosho" and "Begadav"?
(d) What does Rebbi Yishmael say?
(e) How do we then reconcile Shmuel with Rebbi Yehudah, seeing as he (Shmuel) holds that a Kohen Gadol is obligated to perform K'ri'ah?
click for answer
(a) What does our Mishnah say about ...
1. ... one thing that is more common or more holy than another?
2. ... a case where a Par Mashi'ach and a Par ha'Eidah are both waiting to be sacrificed?
(b) What do we Abaye and Tana de'bei Rebbi Yishmael respectively, learn from the Pasuk ...
1. ... in Pinchas "Mil'vad Olas ha'Boker asher le'Olas ha'Tamid"?
2. ... in Emor "Ve'kidashto" (in connection with a Kohen)?
(c) In which two areas, besides with regard to being called up to the Torah, must one give a Kohen precedence?
