Suggestion: Perhaps Mashu'ach Milchamah brings Asiris ha'Eifah [every day]!

Rejection: It says "Tachtav mi'Banav'' - one whose son serves after him brings Asiris ha'Eifah [every day]. This excludes Mashu'ach Milchamah, whose son does not serve after him.

Question: What is the source that Mashu'ach Milchamah's son does not serve after him?

Answer: It says "Shiv'as Yamim Yilbeshem ha'Kohen Tachtav mi'Banav...'' - one who enters the Ohel Mo'ed to serve in the Kodesh, his son serves after him. This excludes Mashu'ach Milchamah, who does not enter the Ohel Mo'ed to serve in the Kodesh.

Question: What is the source that [Mashu'ach Milchamah] can be appointed Kohen Gadol?

Answer: It says "Pinchas ben Elazar Nagid Hayah Aleihem Lefanim Hash-m Imo'' (he was Kohen Gadol, even though he was Mashu'ach Milchamah in the days of Moshe).

When R. Yosah wanted to provoke [his son] R. Eliezer bei R. Yosi [to learn constantly, like in his youth], he would say to him Lefanim Imo - before [Hash-m] was with him, in the days of Zimri, when [Pinchas] protested (and killed Zimri), but in the days of Pilegesh b'Giv'ah, [Pinchas] did not protest (so Hash-m was not with him).

Question: What is the source that they ask [from the Urim v'Tumim through the Mashu'ach Milchamah] when he wears the eight [Bigdei Kohen Gadol]?

Answer (R. Chiyah citing R. Yochanan): "U'Vigdei ha'Kodesh Asher l'Aharon Yihyu l'Vanav Acharav'' - why does it say "Acharav''? Rather, it is for the grandeur of the one after him (who is not Kohen Gadol, only Mashu'ach Milchamah. He wears the eight garments when they ask from the Urim v'Tumim).

Question: What is the source that he serves wearing the eight [Begadim]?

Answer (R. Yirmeyah citing R. Yochanan): "U'Vigdei ha'Kodesh Asher l'Aharon Yihyu l'Vanav'' - why does it say "Acharav''? Rather, it is for the Kedushah of the one after him.

Objection (R. Yonah, to R. Eimi): I was with you [when R. Yochanan said this]. He did not say that he serves [wearing the eight garments], rather, he is asked!

Question: With how many [garments] does he serve?

Answer: R. Hoshayah brought a Beraisa of Bar Kapara from the south, and it teaches that Chachamim say that he does not serve with the eight of the Kohen Gadol, and not with the four of a Kohen Hedyot.

(R. Ba): It is proper that he serve with the four. Why does he not serve? It is lest people say that "we saw a Kohen Gadol sometimes serve with four, and sometimes serve with eight'' (i.e. they saw him wear eight when he was asked).

Question (R. Yonah): Does he not serve inside [the Mikdash], and he is asked outside? Will people err [to confuse something done] inside with [something done] outside?!

Answer: [Yes!] Didn't R. Tarfon, the father (biggest Chacham) of all Yisrael, err between Teki'ah of Hakhel (when the king reads the Torah on Sukos) and Teki'ah of the Korban?!

(Beraisa - R. Akiva): "U'Vnei Aharon ha'Kohanim Yiske'u ba'Chatzotzeros'' - they must be Tam, and not Ba'alei Mumim;

R. Tarfon: I will cut off my sons if I did not see my mother's brother, who was lame in one leg, stand in the Azarah with a trumpet in his hand, and blowing!

R. Akiva Perhaps you saw only at the time of Hakhel, and I say at the time of the Korban!

R. Tarfon: I will cut off my sons [if it is not true] that you did not veer right or left [you are totally correct]! I saw the episode and I forgot, and I could not explain, and you expound and concur with the [received] Halachah! Anyone who departs from you is like one who departs from his life!

Question: What do we learn from "v'Chiper ha'Kohen Asher Yimshach Oso''?

Answer: Because the entire Parshah discusses Aharon. I would know only Aharon himself. What is the source to include another Kohen? It says "Asher Yimshach Oso'' [to teach] one who was anointed with Shemen ha'Mishchah;

What is the source for Merubah Begadim (a Kohen not anointed with Shemen ha'Mishchah, rather, his inauguration is through wearing the eight Begadim? The continuation of the above) verse says "va'Asher Yemalei Es Yado.''

Question: What is the source to include the Kohen appointed [to substitute for the Kohen Gadol on Yom Kipur if needed, i.e. the Segan? If the Kohen Gadol became Pasul after offering the Tamid, his replacement begins with Avodas Panim in the four garments. He is not inaugurated through the eight garments - HA'GAON RAV C. KANIEVSKY, SHLITA.]

Answer: It says "v'Chiper ha'Kohen.''

Question: How is [the replacement] appointed?

Answer (Rabanan of Kisarin citing R. Chiyah bar Yosef): He is appointed verbally.

Inference (R. Zeirah): This teaches that we may appoint Chachamim verbally [without Semichah].

Support (R. Chiya bar Ada): A Mishnah teaches this! [Chachamim told Akavya ben Mehalalel] "retract from four laws that you say, and we will make you Av Beis Din over Yisrael'' (you will be Av Beis Din the moment you retract, due to our words).

What is the source that just like we prepare for him another Kohen, lest a Pesul occur in him, we Mekadesh for him another woman on condition, lest something happen to his wife (she die)? "V'Chiper Ba'ado u'V'ad Beiso'' - Beiso is his wife. R. Yehudah says so;

R. Yosah (to R. Yehudah): If so, there is no end to the matter!

Question: What does it mean "there is no end to the matter''?

Answer: [If you are concerned] lest this woman die, [you should be concerned] lest another woman (the other we are Mekadesh for him) die!

Question (R. Mana): Before you challenge R. Yehudah, it is difficult for Rabanan! [They are concerned] lest this Kohen become Tamei. [They should be concerned] lest another Kohen (prepared to substitute for him) become Tamei!

Answer: Tum'ah is common. Death is not common. They decreed about something common. They did not decree about something not common.

We find that R. Yehudah said that death is common. This is what our Mishnah teaches, that R. Yehudah says that we prepare for him even another wife, lest his wife die.

Citation (Mishnah): [A Shali'ach] who brings a Get and left [the husband] old or sick, he gives it with the Chazakah that he is alive.

Question: There you say that death is not common [even though he is old or sick], and here you say that death is common?!

Answer: There, [it affects] an individual [his wife]. Here, [the Kohen Gadol atones for the entire] Tzibur.

Question: We find that R. Yehudah is stringent about an individual!

(Beraisa - R. Yehudah): There was not a box for [people to leave coins for Kohanim to buy and offer obligatory] Kinim (a Ken is two birds, Chatas ha'Of and Olas ha'Of), due to a mixture, lest one of the people [who put in money] die, [and we find out, so her Chatas must die], and money of a Chatas ha'Mesah is mixed with [money that should be used to buy and offer] Korbanos (so we cannot offer anything).

Question: He should be Mekadesh her [without a Tenai - MAR'EH HA'PANIM] from before [Yom Kipur]!

Answer: "V'Chiper Ba'ado u'V'ad Beiso'', and not for two Batim (wives).

Question (R. Gamliel b'Ribi Iniyuni, to R. Mana): [If the Kidushin takes effect on Yom Kipur,] is this not like making a Kinyan on Shabbos [which is forbidden]?!

Answer (R. Mana): [Kinyan is forbidden only] due to Shevus (mid'Rabanan). They permitted [Shevus] in the Mikdash [when it is needed for the Avodah].

(R. Mana): This teaches that one who makes Nisu'in with a widow [on Friday] must do so before Shabbos, lest he be like one who acquires a Kinyan on Shabbos. (Chupah does not acquire a widow.)
