Summary
- The text explains the seven liquid measures used in the בית המקדש and how each one is applied to specific offerings and ritual needs. It records disagreements among the תנאים about whether the measures were separate vessels or one vessel with markings, whether the הין existed at all, and how overflow and measuring are treated. It also moves into the מנורה, its oil measure, how it was cleaned, and what parts were made from the כיכר of gold.
- The משנה lists seven liquid measures in the מקדש, beginning with the הין and descending through חצי הין, שלישית ההין, רביעית ההין, לוג, חצי לוג, and רביעית הלוג. רבי אלעזר ברבי צדוק says there were markings on the הין instead of separate vessels, and רבי שמעון says there was no הין at all because Moshe used it only for שמן המשחה, so the seventh measure was a מדה יתירה של לוג ומחצה used for the חביתי כהן גדול.
- The ברייתא records רבי יהודה starting from the smallest measure and רבי מאיר starting from the largest. רבי יוחנן says their dispute depends on בירוצי מדות, because one view holds that overflow becomes sanctified and the other holds that it does not. אביי explains that according to both views overflow may be sanctified, but רבי יהודה’s order reflects that the כלי is filled in a way that allows for overflow, while רבי מאיר’s order requires exactness.
- The רביעית of oil is used for the מצורע and the נזיר, the חצי לוג of water is used for the סוטה, and the חצי לוג of oil is used for the תודה. The לוג is the standard measure for מנחות, and רבי אלעזר בן יעקב says even a מנחה of sixty עשרונים receives only one לוג based on the פסוק למנחה ולוג שמן. The half-הין, third-of-a-הין, and quarter-of-a-הין are used respectively for the פר, the איל, and the כבש, and the מנורה receives שלושה ומחצה לוג, with חצי לוג for each נר.
- When רבי asks why the רביעית needed consecration, רבי חייא answers that it was used to measure the oil for the חביתי כהן גדול, with one רביעית for each חלה. רבי responds with praise, quoting מארץ מרחק איש עצתי. When רבי asks the same question about the חצי לוג, רבי שמעון ברבי answers that it was used to divide oil for each נר of the מנורה, and רבי again praises the answer by quoting נר ישראל.
- רבי יוחנן בשם רבי says that if a נר in the מנורה goes out, the שמן becomes נדשן and the פתילה is damaged, so the כהן cleans it and puts in new oil before relighting it. רב זריקא asks whether the new oil should be added in the original amount or only in the amount that was חסר, and רב ירמיה says it must be the original amount because otherwise one would have to measure the exact loss each time. The גמרא concludes that the initial measure is restored in full.
- רב הונא בריה דרב יהודה אמר רב ששת says the מנורה was פרקם, meaning flexible, so it could be bent downward for הטבה. Another ברייתא says the מנורה and its נרות came from the כיכר, while the מלקחיה and מחתותיה did not. רבי נחמיה says the מנורה came from the כיכר but not the נרות, while רבי יהושע בן קרחה says the מנורה alone came from the כיכר and the rest did not.
- The גמרא resolves part of the dispute by saying that the phrase את כל הכלים האלה is needed for the פי נרות, the gold covering of the lamp openings. The text concludes that the Torah requires even this part to be made of pure gold, despite the concern that it would blacken from use.
