Heaven has a new Musician.
We have one less and are much poorer for it.
Pray for his family, for comfort in this loss.

A DAY IN THE HOLY TEMPLE: DETAILS OF THE TAMID DAILY SERVICE: PT. 49

Entering into the Sanctuary

The priest who is to attend the incense altar's ashes now enters into the Sanctuary, straight through the open gates. He carries the golden basket which we have mentioned above (p. 14) and makes his way into the holy place. Standing before the golden incense altar, he first places the basket down, on the Sanctuary floor. Then he removes excess ashes from the incense altar into his two palms, and transfers these ashes into the basket before him. When only a small amount of ashes were left over and the contents could not be gathered up into his palms in this manner, he used a small brush to sweep them straight into the basket. Concluding, he left the basket on the floor before him and exited - the basket would not be removed until later on in the service.

Removing the Ashes from the Inner Altar

We have focused on the tamid sacrifice itself; while these aspects of the Divine service are transpiring, other activities which had been awarded by the second lottery begin as well. Once the gates to the Sanctuary have been opened, the other priests on the staff, who are involved in separate aspects of the morning service, may commence with their tasks.

The Lamb is Led to Slaughter

Now, the priest who received first place in the lottery and thus, the right to slaughter the Tamid, leads the lamb to the area of the court north of the altar. He is followed by the 6 priests who will actually bring the parts of the offering up to the altar's ramp.

This slaughtering area was especially equipped: it featured metal rings in the floor the court for holding the animals; 8 small stone columns, topped with wooden blocks and fitted with metal rings, for removing the skin, and marble tables for preparing the offerings to be brought to the altar.

The Chamber of Vessels

After selecting a lamb from the Chamber of Lambs, the cohanim entered into the Chamber of Vessels, where the all Temple vessels were stored (a doubt exists among the sages as to this exact location of this chamber). There, they remove all the 93 sacred vessels of silver and gold which they will require to conduct all aspects of the Divine service during the course of the day.

The Chamber of the Showbread

This is where those who made the showbread kneaded and baked the dough. It was located in the southeast corner of the Place of the Fire.

The Chamber of the Fire

In the northwest corner. Here, the fire where the priests sat to warm themselves was constantly burning.

The other three chambers were: The Chamber of Seals

Located in the northeast corner of the Place of the Fire, this was the office of Yochanan ben Pinchas, administrator of the seals. An individual who sought to bring a libation to the Temple would come here and pay for his libation, and receive a "seal" from Yochanan. This seal was a note which constituted proof of purchase; one would bring this note to Achya, administrator of the libations, and receive his needs. The amounts of oil, fine flour and wine which accompanied the various peace offerings and burnt offerings, differed for each offering. This system was devised in order make it easier for those who came to the Temple to offer sacrifices: people could procure pure ingredients within the Temple, rather than bringing their own wine, etc., from home and taking the risk of it becoming defiled along the way.

The Chamber of Lambs

Once it has been established that the proper time has come for beginning the Tamid daily offering, and the gates of the Sanctuary are open, the overseer instructs the priests who will be attending to the service: "Bring a lamb from the Chamber of Lambs!"

The Chamber of Lambs was the Temple's store of lambs; at all times a minimum of 6 animals previously checked and certified as blemish-free were kept here for the daily offerings. It was required that each lamb be checked 4 days in advance of being offered.

Although the lamb which had been selected for the Tamid offering had already been ascertained as being free of any disqualifying blemish, nonetheless as an added precaution - since the Bible strongly prohibits the offering of blemished animals - it is checked again now by torchlight, after its removal from the chamber. This is to preclude the unlikely event that perhaps something has befallen it since it was last examined, which would render it unfit.

After it has been selected, the lamb is given to drink before it is slaughtered, for this makes its skin easier to remove. It is watered from a golden vessel; everything done in the Temple was always conducted with as much honor as possible.

This chamber was located in the northwest corner of the courtyard, within the larger, dome-covered room known as the Place of the Fire which we have discussed. In each of that room's four corners there was a smaller chamber which opened onto the larger room.

An Abundance of Caution

On a simple level of interpretation, there was another cause for waiting until the entire eastern sky was lit, until Hebron. It once transpired that the priests in the Holy Temple actually did make a mistake in determining the day's commencement - and the daily offering was offered too early, unintentionally violating the Biblical requirement.

The Mishna in Yoma 2:2 relates that upon that occasion, it was a cloudy day, towards the end of the month (in the Hebrew calendar, lunar months are observed. At the end of the month, the moon rises in the sky close to dawn). The moon's light, which broke through the clouds and lit up patches of the sky, gave the impression that the dawn was at hand and that the eastern sky was aglow with the sunrise. The daily tamid offering was slaughtered, and afterwards the priests realized that this had been done while it was yet night - and was therefore invalid.

Invoking the Merit of the Patriarchs

Like some consecrated and rarified code whose inner meaning is known to but a chosen few, the exchange continues between the watchman, at his elevated station, and those below in the courtyard. The feelings of anticipation swell within the priestly circle, as these men whose lives are sanctified to G-d wait for the first possible moment for the honor of fulfilling His will.

Once the eastern sky begins to shimmer, one of those down below will call up to his colleague: "Does the glow extend all the way to Hebron?" "Yes," the watchman replies.

The sages of the Jerusalem Talmud stated that the true design behind this part of the exchange was simply to mention Hebron, the city of the patriarchs of the Jewish people - Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. For the very name "Hebron" is in itself synonymous with these righteous spiritual giants who are buried there in Ma'arat HaMachpela, the famed double cave which Abraham purchased from Ephron the Hivite (see Gen. 23). The name Hebron is derived from the Hebrew chaver, "friend," for Abraham was the beloved of G-d, the first true believer, who blazed a trail for every spiritual seeker who would follow in his footsteps and likewise embark upon a quest for a relationship with the one true G-d... as Ezekiel testifies, "Abraham was one" (Ez.33:24).

The lives led by these great men were so virtuous that their merit lives on forever, as echoed by the sages of the Talmud (BT Berakhot 18:A) who enigmatically stated that "even in death, the righteous are called alive." To invoke their name, to allude to their identity - even to mention the name of the city in which they lie - is to recall their merit before the Holy One. "Does the glow extend all the way to Hebron?" That merit is strong enough to provide protection and grace for their children forever. "Yes," replies the watchman.
