What did he do? He parted the strip of red wool; half of it he tied to the rock and half he tied between its two horns, and pushed it backwards. It tumbled down, and before it reached halfway down the mountain, it was torn limb from limb. He would return and sit under the [shade of the] last booth until it became dark.  And from when does he contaminate clothing? As soon as he gets outside the wall of Jerusalem. R' Shimon says: From the time he pushes him [down] to the precipice.

He came to the ox and he-goat which were to be burned. He tore them and removed their sacrificial parts. He put them in a plate and burned them upon the [Outer] Altar. He intertwined [the limbs of the ox and he-goat] into twists and removed them to the place of burning.  And from when do these [people] contaminate clothing? From when they go outside the wall of the Courtyard. R' Shimon says: From when the fire catches onto the greater part of [the limbs].

They said to the Kohen Gadol, “The he-goat has reached the wilderness.” And how did they know that the he-goat had reached the wilderness? They set up watch-posts and waved cloths, and thus they knew that the he-goat had reached the wilderness.  R' Yehudah said: But they had a dependable signal: From Jerusalem to the place of the he-goat's sharp peak was three mil; they walked a mil, returned a mil, and tarried for [the time needed to walk] a mil. Thus they knew that the he-goat had reached the wilderness.  R' Yishmael says: But did they not have another sign? A strip of red wool was tied atop the Temple entrance, and when the he-goat reached the wilderness the strip of wool whitened, as it has been said: [Even] if your sins will be like crimson thread they will become white as snow.

The Kohen Gadol came to read. If he wished to read [wearing] his linen vestments, he may read; and if not, he would read while wearing his own white robe.  The attendant of the synagogue takes a Torah Scroll and gives it to the head of the synagogue; the head of the synagogue gives it to the Deputy [Kohen Gadol]; and the Deputy gives it to the Kohen Gadol. The Kohen Gadol stands up, accepts [the scroll] and reads while standing.  He reads [from] Acharei Mos and [the portion that begins] But on the tenth. Then he rolls up the Torah Scroll, puts it in his bosom, and says, “More than I have read to you is written here”; and he recites by heart from the Book of Numbers, beginning On the tenth.  Then he recites over it eight benedictions: for the Torah; for the [sacrificial] service; for the thanksgiving; for the forgiving of sins; for the Temple separately; for Israel separately; for Jerusalem separately; for the Kohanim separately; and for the rest of the prayer.
