Sukkah 55b Part 2/9

AI summary (may contain mistakes)

How were the Succos korbanos divided among the 24 mishmaros? On Succos all the mishmaros shared the korbanos, and on Shemini Atzeres a payis was made again. The Gemara asks whether the Mishnah follows Rebbe, who opened that payis to all, or the Rabbanan, who limited it to the two mishmaros that brought purim only twice. The 70 purim stand for the 70 nations, and the single par of Shemini Atzeres for Klal Yisrael.

Key points

• The Mishnah has six mishmaros bring two kevasim each on the first day, and two bring one.
• The Gemara shows the Mishnah's payis can follow the Rabbanan, a lottery between only two mishmaros.
• The second braisa's chiddush is a rotation: whoever brought purim today did not bring them tomorrow.
• Rashi brings a Midrash that one fewer par each day shows the nations falling away.
• In the Gemara's mashal, a king asks his beloved for a small meal after a large feast.
