1)
(a) Who sanctified the floor of the Azarah of the Beis Hamikdash (with two Korb'nos Todah and 'Shir shel Pega'im')?
(b) What do we learn from the Pasuk in Vayikra "Velakach ha'Kohen"?
(c) From where do we now learn that nothing may interrupt between the Kohen's feet and the floor of the Azarah?
(d) Having taught us that the Kohen may not stand on ...
1. ... vessels whilst performing the Avodah, why does our Mishnah find it necessary to add an animal?
2. ... an animal, why does then he need to add another Kohen's foot?

2)
What does Rebbi Eliezer say in a Beraisa about a Kohen performing the Avodah whilst standing with one foot on a vessel or on a stone, and the other, on the floor of the Azarah?

3)
(a) What does Rebbi Ami say about a Kohen standing on a stone-slab in the Azarah which has come loose and which one ...
1. ... does not intend to fix (i.e. because they have in mind to replace it)?
2. ... intends to fix?
(b) According to Rabah Zuti's version of the She'eilah, the Kohen performed the Avodah on a spot where the stone-slab has been removed. What is then the She'eilah? What reason do we initially ascribe to Rebbi Ami for thinking that the Avodah might be Pasul?
(c) What prompts us to retract from this explanation and decide that David Hamelech certainly sanctified the floor of the Azarah together with the ground down to the center of the earth?
(d) Then what is the She'eilah? Why might the Avodah be Pasul?

4)
(a) What does the Tana Kama learn from the fact that in the
Pasuk in Vayikra "Velakach ha'Kohen mi'Dam ha'Chatas be'Etzba'o Venasan al Karnos ha'Mizbe'ach", the Torah places "be'Etzba'o" in between "Velakach" and "Venasan"?
(b) How does the Tana Kama learn this from the word "be'Etzba'o"?
(c) What does Rebbi Shimon say?

5)
(a) We query Rebbi Shimon in that if he Darshens the Gezeirah-Shavah, then what difference will it make that the Torah does not write 'Yad' by Kabalah (seeing as it writes 'Etzba'). To which Gezeirah-Shavah does this refer?
(b) And what is then the problem if he doesn't Darshen the 'Gezeirah-Shavah'?
(c) What is the problem with Rav Yehudah's explanation (that Rebbi Shimon does not Darshen the Gezeirah-Shavah, and what he really means is that the Torah does not write 'Yad Yemanis' by Kabalah)? Why would that not answer the question?
(d) In any event, Rav Yehudah's statement is incorrect, based on another Beraisa. What does Rebbi Yehudah say there about wherever the Torah writes 'Yad' or 'Etzba'?

6)
(a) Rava therefore explains that Rebbi Shimon in fact, holds of the Gezeirah-Shavah and that, had the Torah written 'Yad' instead of 'Etzba', he would have agreed with the Tana Kama, and applied 'Yad' both to "Velakach" and to "Venasan". What is the practical problem with applying 'Etzba' to "Velakach"?
(b) How does Rav Sama b'rei de'Rav Ashi dismiss this problem?
(c) How does Abaye therefore explain the Machlokes?
(d) At the end of the day, Does Rebbi Shimon now hold of the 'Gezeirah-Shavah' or not.

10)
(a) According to Rebbi Elazar b'Rebbi Shimon, where the Torah writes 'Etzba' by Kabalah, it requires the Kohen's right-hand, but not by Nesinah. Which Pasuk is he referring to?
(b) What does he hold with regard to 'Mikra Nidrash ... '? With which of the above Tana'im does he concur?
(c) And how does he Darshen the Pasuk in Tetzaveh (in connection with the Par ha'Milu'im) "Velakachta mi'Dam Ha'Par Ve'nasata al Karnos ha'Mizbe'ach be'Etzba'echa"?
(d) Why is that
click for answer
(a) Based on the Pasuk "Velakach ha'Kohen mi'Dam ha'Chatas be'Etzba'o" and the Pasuk in Tazri'a "Vetaval ha'Kohen es Etzba'o ha'Yemanis", how do we initially interpret Rabah bar bar Chanah Amar Rebbi Yochanan's statement 'Kol Makom she'Ne'emar 'Etzba u'-'Kehunah' Einah Ela Yemin'?
(b) We query this however from a Mishnah in Menachos. What does the Mishnah there say in connection with Kemitzah? What is now the problem?
(c) How does Rava therefore reinterpret Rebbi Yochanan's ruling?
click for answer
(a) How does Mar interpret the Pasuk in Vayikra "Vehikriv ha'Kohen es ha'Kol Vehiktir ha'Mizbeichah"? To which Avodah does this pertain?
(b) If the Kohen carried the head of the Tamid in his right hand to the Mizbe'ach, where did he carry the right hind-leg?
(c) What was noteworthy about the way he carried the latter?
(d) But did Rava not just say that wherever the Torah writes "Kehunah", it requires the right-hand?
(e) Then why does Rebbi Shimon validate Kabalah (by which the Torah writes "Vehikrivu B'nei Aharon ha'Kohanim") with the left-hand, even though Kabalah is crucial to the Avodah?
click for answer
(a) If Rebbi Shimon requires both 'Kehunah' and 'Etzba', how can he then say 'Kol Makom she'Ne'emar 'Yad', Eino Ela Yemin, 'Etzba' Eino Ela Yemin' (without mentioning 'Kehunah')?
(b) If 'Etzba' alone will suffice (even according to Rebbi Shimon), why does the Torah then add 'Kehunah'?
(c) What problem do we have with the fact that Rebbi Shimon in our Mishnah only permits Kabalah with the left-hand, but says nothing about Zerikah?
(d) How does Abaye answer this Kashya?
(e) But did we not learn earlier that Rebbi Shimon requires the right-hand by the Haza'ah of a Chatas?
