Sukkah 53b Part 5/5

AI summary (may contain mistakes)

Why do the Mishnayos on the blowings of Succos not add up to one count? The Gemara accepts that Succos had only twelve extra blowings, perhaps from a mesorah that the most was forty-eight. One Tanna counts a blowing al gabei hamizbeach in place of the one at the tenth step, and the Rabbanan count the reverse. Sorted out, three Mishnayos follow the Tanna of al gabei hamizbeach, and the Mishnah of the forty-eight follows the Rabbanan.

Key points

• The beraisa makes the two blowings exclusive: either the tenth step or al gabei hamizbeach.
• One Tanna sees no reason to blow at the tenth step, since it is no gate.
• The Rabbanan find the mizbeach blowing redundant once they already blew when the water was drawn.
