Talmud for Shekalim 5:1

העוברים בארץ וראה עצם אדם ובנה אצלו ציון עצם מכאן שמציינין על העצמות אדם מיכן שמציינין על השדרה והגלגולת ובנה מיכן שמציינין על גבי אבן קבועה אם אומר את ע"ג אבן תלושה אף היא הולכת ומטמא במקום אחר אצלו למקום טהרה ציון מיכן לציון ומצא אבן אחת מצויינת אף ע"פ שאין מקיימין כן המאהיל עליה טמא אני אומרת מת מצויין והיה נתון תחתיה היו שתים המאהיל עליהן טהור וביניהן טמא אם היה חורש בינתיים הרי הן כיחידיות ביניהן טהור וסביבותיהן <טהור> טמא תני אין מציינין על הבשר שמא נתעכל הבשר ר' יוסטא בר שונם בעא קומי ר' מנא ולא נמצא מטמא טהרות למפרע א"ל מוטב שיתקלקלו בו לשעה ואל יתקלקלו בו לעולם:

R. Hanina says: The sun must have gone down and the moon have commenced to rise. In effect R. Samuel says: The moon cannot shine as long as the sun still lightens, neither can the moon shine after the sun has darted his (morning) beams. R. Samuel bar-Hiya, in the name of R. Hanina, says: If a man, when the sun has begun to set, descends from the summit of Mount Carmel to bathe in the sea, and re-ascends to partake of the oblations, he has certainly bathed during the daytime. It is, however, only a certainty in the case of one taking cross-roads to shorten the route; but not in the case of one who follows the high road (Strata). What is meant by "the intermediate period "? R. Tanhooma says: It resembles the delay of a drop of blood placed on the edge of a sword, i.e. the time required for the drop of blood to divide and run down on either side of the blade, is equivalent to the period of transition. According to R. Nehemiah, it means the time it would require for a man to run half a mile, after sunset. R. Yosse says: This twilight lasts no longer than the twinkling of an eye, and not even the men of science could measure it.

Rebbi Zeˋira in the name of Rebbi Ḥanina: Incense which was extinguished becomes defective even in carats¹⁰¹Even if entire grains of incense are not touched by the fire, they become disqualified. Babli Menaḥot24b.; for consumption is written only for the external altar¹⁰²Lev.6:3. A wick which was extinguished needs replacement¹⁰³Babli Menaḥot88b.. Immediately? The students of Rebbi Ḥiyya bar Julianus say, first it needs to be cooled. Does the oil have to be replaced? The word of Rebbi Samuel bar Rav Isaac implies that oil has to be replaced. Rebbi Samuel bar Rav Isaac asked, now on the winter solstice half a log for each light, on the summer solstice half a log for each light¹⁰⁴Since the candelabrum has to be lit “from evening to morning’ (Ex.27:21), one would assume that filling the same volume of oil in winter and summer means that in the summer the remnants of the previous night’s oil have to be discarded. Cf. Babli 15a.? Rebbi Yose said, from this you cannot conclude anything, as we have stated there¹⁰⁵Mishnah Šeqalim 5:1., “Ben Bevay for the skeins”, he was threading the wicks¹⁰⁶If larger wicks are used in summer than in winter, the same amount of oil can be burned in all seasons. The Babli presumes without discussion that the oil has to be replaced, Menaḥot88b..

Rebbi Yose went up to Kufra⁹⁴Possibly Koufeir near Hasbeya in South Lebanon. and wanted to appoint providers there, but they did not accept. He came and said before them⁹⁵Mishnah Šeqalim 5:1 lists the small permanent staff of the Temple, probably in the last times of its existence. Ben Babai administered the oakum, bought with public money, from which the wicks for the candelabra were made.: “Ben Bavai over the oakum.” If this one had been appointed over the wicks and therefore merited to be counted with the leaders of his generation, you who are being appointed over the lives of people⁹⁶The poor who would starve without assistance., so much more. Rebbi Ḥaggai, when he inducted providers, let them carry the Torah, to indicate that every public office is given by the Torah (Prov. 8:15–16): “Through me, kings rule, through me, princes become princes.” Rebbi Ḥiyya bar Abba appointed magistrates⁹⁷Greek ἄρχων. He also inducted them to their offices by giving them the Torah scroll to carry..
