Yoma 24A

לרבות את השחקים.

The phrase comes to include worn out garments, teaching that as long as they have not become tattered they may be used for Temple services.

״והניחם שם״, מלמד שטעונין גניזה. רבי דוסא אומר: ראוין הן לכהן הדיוט, ומה תלמוד לומר ״והניחם שם״⁠ — שלא ישתמש בהן יום הכפורים אחר.

The Talmud continues with another baraita connected to this debate. With regard to the garments of the High Priest, the Torah states: “And Aaron should go into the tent of meeting, and he should take off the linen garments that he had put on when he went into the Sanctuary, and should leave them there” (Leviticus 16:23). This verse teaches that the linen garments worn by the High Priest during the Yom Kippur service require storing away, i.e., they may not be used again. R' Dosa says: They do not have to be stored away, because although they may not be used again by the High Priest on a subsequent Yom Kippur, they are acceptable for use for a common priest. And what, then, is the meaning when the verse states: “And should leave them there,” which implies that they are not to be used again? It means that the High Priest himself may not use them on a subsequent Yom Kippur for service in the Holy of Holies; it does not mean that they may not be used at all.

מאי לאו בהא קא מיפלגי, דמר סבר: עבודה היא, ומר סבר: לאו עבודה היא.

The Talmud returns to the question of whether or not the removal of the ashes is considered a bona fide Temple service, requiring all 4 priestly garments, and whether or not this is the subject of debate between tanna’im. What, is it not with regard to this that R' Yehuda and R' Dosa disagree: One Sage, R' Yehuda, who derives from the phrase “he should wear” that all 4 garments are required, holds that the removal of the ashes is a bona fide service; and one Sage, R' Dosa, who derives a different teaching from “he should wear,” holds that it is not a bona fide service, and consequently only two of the 4 garments are required? Their dispute would therefore be identical to the dispute between R' Yoḥanan and Reish Lakish.
