The appointed one said to them: “Come and cast lots! Who slaughters [the tamid offering]? Who throws [its blood]? Who clears the ash from the Inner Altar? Who clears the ash from the Menorah? Who brings the limbs [of the tamid] up onto the ramp [of the Altar]?” The head and the [right] hind leg; the two forelegs; [the fat of] the tail and the [left] hind leg; [the fat of] the chest and the neck; the two flanks; the intestines; and the fine flour; and the chavitim; and the wine. They cast lots; the one who won, won.

The appointed one said to them: “Go out and see if the time for slaughtering has arrived.” If [the time] had arrived, the observer says: “Dawn!” Masya ben Shmuel says: The entire eastern sky has lit up. “As far as Hebron?” And [the observer] says, “Yes!”

The appointed one] said to them: “Go out and bring a lamb from the Chamber of Lambs.” Now, the Chamber of Lambs was in the northwest corner [of the Hall of the Fire], and four chambers were [located] there: One [was] the Chamber of Lambs, and one [was] the Chamber of Receipts, and one [was] the Chamber of the Hall of the Fire, and one [was] a chamber in which they made the Show Bread.

They entered the Chamber of Vessels and took out from there ninety-three silver and gold vessels. They gave the tamid [lamb] to drink with a cup of gold. Even though [the animal] had been examined before evening, they examine it by the light of the torches.
