Text Excerpt
ואחר כך שעיר הנעשה בחוץ, שנאמר: ״שעיר עזים אחד חטאת מלבד חטאת הכפורים״, ואחר כך אילו ואיל העם, ואחר כך אימורי חטאת, ואחר כך תמיד של בין הערבים.
And afterward, the goat whose services are performed outside is sacrificed, as it is stated: “One goat for a sin-offering besides the sin-offering of atonement and the daily burnt-offering, and its meal-offering, and their libations” (Numbers 29:11), indicating that the goat sin-offering is sacrificed after the other offerings of the day. And afterward he offers his ram and the ram of the people, and afterward he places upon the altar the portions of the sin-offering to be consumed on the altar, and afterward he sacrifices the daily afternoon offering.
What is the reason for the opinion of R' Eliezer? The High Priest acts in accordance with the order in which it is written in the Torah: First he performs the services described in Leviticus, and afterward he performs the additional offerings mentioned in the book of Numbers.
ורבי עקיבא? כדקתני טעמא: ״מלבד עולת הבקר אשר לעולת התמיד״, אלמא מוספין עם תמיד של שחר עביד להו.
And what is R' Akiva’s reasoning? His reasoning is that as the Tosefta teaches that the verse states: “Besides the morning burnt-offering which is the daily burnt-offering you should sacrifice these” (Numbers 28:23), it is apparent that the sacrifice of the additional offerings should be performed together with the daily morning offering.
ורבי אליעזר, האי ״מלבד חטאת הכפורים״ מאי עביד ליה? ההוא מיבעי ליה, על מה שזה מכפר — זה מכפר.
The Talmud asks: And R' Eliezer, what does he do with this verse: “Besides the sin-offering of atonement,” which was the basis for R' Akiva’s opinion? That verse is necessary for him to derive from it that for what this one, the goat sin-offering whose blood is sprinkled inside the Holy of Holies, atones, that one, the goat sin-offering of the additional offerings whose services are performed in the Temple courtyard, also atones.
