Sukkah 50b Part 4/9

AI summary (may contain mistakes)

After a recap of klal uprat uklal and ribui umiyut uribui, we ask whether the main shira is sung or played. Rav Papa ties this to a Mishnah in Arachin with three views on who played in the Beis HaMikdash: avdei kohanim, families of meyuchasim, or Leviim. Rabbi Yosi fits neither side, so the Gemara reads the machlokes as whether playing on the duchan proves yichus, and even Levi status for maaser.

Key points

• A Rashi brought from elsewhere excludes earthenware first, being too cheap even for a human's table.
• Ribui umiyut uribui includes more than klal uprat uklal, two ways of reading the same pesukim.
• Rav Papa ties the Mishnah's views on who played to ikar shira bakli or bapeh.
• The Gemara asks that Rabbi Yosi, who says meyuchasim but not Leviim played, fits neither side.
• The Gemara answers that all hold ikar shira bapeh, and they argue what the duchan proves.
