משנה: הַפֶּסַח נִשְׁחָט בְּשָׁלֹשׁ כִּתּוֹת שֶׁנֶּאֱמַר וְשָׁחֲטוּ אֹתוֹ כֹּל קְהַל עֲדַת יִשְׂרָאֵל קָהָל וְעֵדָה וְיִשְׂרָאֵל. נִכְנְסָה כַּת הָרִאשׁוֹנָה וְנִתְמַלֵּאת הָעֲזָרָה נָעֲלוּ דַלְתוֹת הָעֲזָרָה תָּקְעוּ וְהֵרִיעוּ וְתָקְעוּ הַכֹּהֲנִים עוֹמְדִין שׁוּרוֹת שׁוּרוֹת וּבִידֵיהֶם בָּזִיכֵי כֶסֶף וּבָזִיכֵי זָהָב. שׁוּרָה שֶׁכּוּלָּה כֶּסֶף כֶּסֶף. שׁוּרָה שֶׁכּוּלָּהּ זָהָב זְהָב. לֹא הָיוּ מְעוֹרָבִין וְלֹא הָיוּ לַבָּזִיכִין שׁוּלַיִים שֶׁמָּא יַנִּיחוּם וְיִקְרַשׁ הַדָּם:

The priests were standing in rows and in their hands were silver and golden cups; one row only silver, one row only gold, they were not mixed. The cups had no flat bottoms lest they would be put down and the blood jellying.
