On all of these seven days he throws the blood, burns the incense, prepares the lamps, and offers the head and the hind leg. On all the other days [of the year], if he wishes to offer [any sacrifice], he may offer [it]. For the Kohen Gadol has the first right to offer and the first right to take a portion.

Beis Shammai say: In the evening all people must lie down and recite [the Shema], and in the morning they must stand, for it is stated: When you lie down and when you arise (Deuteronomy 6:7). But Beis Hillel say: Every person recites according to his [preferred] manner, for it is stated (ibid.): While you walk on the way. If so, why is it stated: When you lie down and when you arise (Deuter-onomy 11:19)? At the time when people go to sleep and at the time when people get up. R’ Tarfon said: I was coming on the road, and I lay down to recite in accordance with the words of Beis Shammai, and I endangered myself on account of the bandits. They said to him: It would have been fitting for you to come to harm, for you trans-gressed the words of Beis Hillel.
