Sukkah 50b Part 8/9

AI summary (may contain mistakes)

Does the three-way machlokes in the Mishnah over who played the instruments in the Beis HaMikdash depend on ikar shira b'kli or b'peh? Rabbi Meir, Rabbi Yosi and Rabbi Chanina ben Antigonus turn out to dispute only what a musician on the duchan proves about his lineage. An explicit beraisa and our Mishnah then refute Rav Yosef, leaving Rabbi Yirmiya bar Abba's view that the machlokes is only by the shir of the Beis HaShoeiva.

Key points

• Rav Papa ties the three shitos to ikar shira b'kli or b'peh, but Rabbi Yosi fits neither.
• The Gemara answers that everyone holds ikar shira b'peh, so technically anyone could play.
• In Rabbi Yosi's view, a musician on the duchan is assumed meyuchas but not a Levi.
• An explicit beraisa has Rabbi Yehuda and the Chachamim argue over the shir of the Beis HaShoeiva.
• The Gemara concludes our Mishnah is the Rabbanan, so the korban's chalil is docheh Shabbos.
