Rabban Shimon ben Gamliel says in the name of R’ Shimon, son of the Deputy [Kohen Gadol]: The curtain was one hand-breadth thick, woven upon seventy-two threads, each thread composed of twenty-four filaments; forty cubits long and twenty cubits wide; and made of eighty-two times ten thousand.  They would make two [new curtains] every year. And three hundred Kohanim would immerse it.

Meat of the most holy offerings which became contaminated, whether through [contact with] a primary tumah or a second-ary tumah, whether inside or outside [the Temple Courtyard], Beis Shammai say: Everything should be burnt inside [the Courtyard], except that which was contaminated by a primary tumah outside.  Beis Hillel say: Everything should be burned outside, except that which was contaminated by a secondary tumah inside.

R’ Eliezer says: That which was contaminated by a primary tumah, whether inside or outside, should be burned outside; but that which was contaminated by a secondary tumah, whether inside or outside, should be burned inside.  R’ Akiva says: Wherever it became contaminated, there it is burned.

The limbs of the daily-offering were placed on the lower half of the ramp on the western side; those of the addition-al-offerings were placed on the lower half of the ramp on the eastern side; and those of [the additional-offerings of] Rosh Chodesh were placed [on the ramp] below the karkov of the altar.  The [mitzvos of] shekalim and the first fruits ap-ply only in the Temple era, but the grain tithe, the animal tithe, and [the laws regarding] the firstborn [animals] apply both in the Temple era and in the post-Temple era.  [If] one consecrates shekalim or first fruits, they are consecrated.  R’ Shimon says: [If] one consecrates first fruits, they are not consecrated.
