When the Kohen Gadol wishes to burn [the limbs of the tamid], he would ascend the ramp and the Deputy was to his right. [When the Kohen Gadol] reached the midpoint of the ramp, the Deputy took hold of his right [arm] and helped him ascend. The first [Kohen] handed to [the Kohen Gadol] the head and the leg, and [the Kohen Gadol] leaned on them and [then] threw them. The second [Kohen] handed the two forelegs to the first [Kohen], [the first Kohen] gives them to the Kohen Gadol, and [the Kohen Gadol] leaned on them and threw them; the second [Kohen] slipped away and departed. And in this manner they would hand to [the Kohen Gadol] all the remaining limbs, and he would lean on them and throw them. And when [the Kohen Gadol] wishes, he leans and others throw.  [The Kohen Gadol] comes to circle the Altar; from where does he begin? From the southeast corner, [then to the] northeast, [to the] northwest, [and to the] southwest.  They gave [the Kohen Gadol] wine to offer; the Deputy would be standing on the horn with the flags in his hand, and two Kohanim would stand on the Table of the Fats with two trumpets of silver in their hands. They sounded a tekiah-teruah-tekiah. They came and stood next to Ben Arza, one to his right and one to his left. [The Kohen Gadol] bent down to pour [the wine] and the Deputy waved the flags, and Ben Arza sounded the cymbals, and the Leviim chanted the song. [When] they arrived at the end of a stanza they sounded a tekiah, and the people prostrated themselves. At every stanza [a] tekiah, and at every tekiah [a] prostration.  This is the order of the tamid for the service of the House of our Lord. May it be [His] Will that it be rebuilt speedily in our days, Amen.

The song that the Leviim would recite in the Temple: On the first day they would say: Hashem’s is the earth and its fullness, the inhabited land and those who dwell within it. On the second [day] they would say: Great is Hashem and much praised, in the city of our God, Mount of His Holiness.” On the third [day] they would say: “God stands in the Divine assembly, in the midst of judges shall He judge.” On the fourth [day] they would say: “O God of vengeance, Hashem, O God of vengeance, appear, etc. On the fifth [day] they would say: Sing joyously to the God of our might, call out to the God of Jacob.” On the sixth [day] they would say: “Hashem will have reigned, He will have donned His grandeur, etc.” On the Sabbath they would say: “A song, a hymn for the Sabbath day.” A song, a hymn for the future era, for a day that is entirely a Sabbath, [a day of] rest [leading] to everlasting life.
