cellio: (talmud)
[personal profile] cellio

The mishna gives some rules for precedence (priority). First, whatever is more frequent takes precedence over the less-frequent:

  • The daily offering over the additional offering.
  • The additional offering of Shabbat over that of Rosh Chodesh (new month).
  • The additional of Rosh Chodesh over that of Rosh Hashana (new year).

And also, whatever is more sacred takes precedence. The mishna gives several specific cases, including (this is not the complete list):

  • The blood of a sin offering over that of a burnt offering.
  • A sin offering over a guilt offering.
  • A guilt offering over either a thanksgiving offering or the offering brought by a nazarite.
  • A thanksgiving or nazarite offering over a peace offering.
  • A firstling over a tithe.

These are accompanied by explanations of how we know the one is more sacred than the other. It's a busy mishna.

If these two rules can conflict (frequency versus sanctity), I don't see it addressed here.

Today's daf is 90.
