Yoma 34A

תלמוד לומר: ״וערך עליה העולה״, ואמר רבא: ״העולה״⁠ — היא עולה ראשונה.

The verse states: “And the priest should burn wood upon it in the morning, in the morning, and he should place the burnt-offering upon it” (Leviticus 6:5), and Rava said: The verse could have simply said: And he should place upon it, indicating that everything sacrificed on the altar is placed upon it; but instead, the verse states: “And he should place the burnt-offering upon it,” to teach that it ascends the altar first.

ומנחה לחביתין, עולה ומנחה.

Abaye continued: The sacrifice of the meal-offering precedes the sacrifice of the High Priest’s daily griddle-cake offering, half of which he sacrifices in the morning and half in the afternoon, as the verse states: “To bring offerings by fire to YHWH, burnt-offerings, meal-offerings, sacrifices, and libations, on each day what is proper to it” (Leviticus 23:37). Since the Torah states burnt-offerings and meal-offerings, apparently the daily burnt-offering precedes the meal-offering. And since the meal-offering is part of the burnt-offering sacrifice, it precedes the griddle-cake offering, which is a meal-offering unrelated to the burnt-offering.

וחביתין לנסכים, שום מנחה.

Abaye continued: And the griddle-cake offering precedes the pouring of the libations of the daily offering. This is because it is in the category of meal-offering. Since it has been established that the meal-offering that accompanies the daily offering is sacrificed after the daily offering, all meal-offerings are sacrificed after the daily-offering prior to any other service.

ונסכים למוספין, זבח ונסכים. ומוספין לבזיכין, והתניא: בזיכין קודמין למוספין! תנאי היא.

Abaye continued: And the libations precede the sacrifice of the additional offerings, as it is written: Offerings and libations, from which it is derived that the libations are brought immediately after the daily offering, before any other offering is sacrificed. And the additional offerings precede the vessels of frankincense that are brought on Shabbat. The Talmud asks: But wasn’t it taught in a baraita: The vessels of frankincense precede the additional offerings? The Talmud answers: This is the subject of a dispute between the tanna’im R' Yishmael and R' Akiva (Pesaḥim 58a).
