Sukkah 56a Part 5/6

AI summary (may contain mistakes)

How was the lechem hapanim divided between the mishmaros? The Mishnah has everyone share equally when Yom Tov falls right beside Shabbos. When one day separates them, the mishmar of the week takes ten of the twelve, and on a regular Shabbos the split is six and six. The incoming mishmar takes its share on the more holy north side, and Chazal's three penalties on the mishmar of Bilga follow, with the reason saved for later.

Key points

• In the Mishnah, the mishmar of the week brings communal karbanos like the par helem davar shel tzibur.
• The Gemara reads the Mishnah's word everything as including keitz hamizbeach, a karban for an idle mizbeach.
• When Yom Tov touches Shabbos, the Mishnah has all mishmaros share equally, since nobody can leave.
• On a regular Shabbos the Tanna Kamma splits six and six, while Rabbi Yehuda gives seven and five.
• Bilga always took its share on the south, its ring was sealed, and its window closed.
