Sukkah 55b Part 8/9

AI summary (may contain mistakes)

How was the lechem hapanim divided among the mishmaros when Yom Tov came next to Shabbos? The Mishnah gives every mishmar an equal division. The Gemara reads before or after as the last day of Yom Tov on Friday or the first day on Sunday, since Yom Tov on Shabbos itself belongs to the previous Mishnah. The Rabbanan gave an equal share because those kohanim had no choice but to come early or stay late.

Key points

• With one day between, the Mishnah gives the mishmar on duty ten challos, and the staying one two.
• The Gemara rejects reading before or after as Shabbos itself being Yom Tov, the previous Mishnah's case.
• The Gemara says the Rabbanan enacted an equal share, since some had to come early and some stay late.
