משנה: יוֹם טוֹב הָרִאשׁוֹן שֶׁל חָג הָיוּ שָׁם שְׁלשָׁה עָשָׂר פָּרִים וְאֵילִים שְׁנַיִם וְשָׂעִיר אֶחָד. נִשְׁתַּיְירוּ שָׁם אַרְבָּעַה עָשָׂר כְּבָשִׂים לִשְׁמוֹנָה מִשְׁמָרוֹת. בַּיּוֹם הָרִאשׁוֹן שִׁשָּׁה מַקְרִיבִין שְׁנַיִם שְׁנַיִם וְהַשְּׁאָר אֶחָד אֶחָד. בַּשֵּׁנִי חֲמִשָּׁה מַקְרִיבִין שְׁנַיִם שְׁנַיִם וְהַשְׁאָר אֶחָד אֶחָד. בַּשְּׁלִישִׁי אַרְבָּעָה מַקְרִיבִין שְׁנַיִם שְׁנַיִם וְהַשְׁאָר אֶחָד אֶחָד. בָּרְבִיעִי שְׁלשָׁה מַקְרִיבִין שְׁנַיִם שְׁנַיִם וְהַשְּׁאָר אֶחָד אֶחָד. בַּחֲמִישִׁי שְׁנַיִם מַקְרִיבִין שְׁנַיִם שְׁנַיִם וְהַשְּׁאָר אֶחָד אֶחָד. בַּשִּׁשִּׁי אֶחָד מַקְרִיב שְׁנַיִם וְהַשְּׁאָר אֶחָד אֶחָד. בַּשְּׁבִיעִי כּוּלָּן שָׁוִוין. בַּשְּׁמִינִי חָזְרוּ לַפַּיֵיס כִּרְגָלִים. אָמְרוּ מִי שֶׁהִקְרִיב הַיּוֹם לֹא הָיָה מַקְרִיב פְּרִים לְמָחָר אֶלָּא חוֹזְרִין חֲלִילָה:
MISHNAH: On the first holiday of Tabernacles there were thirteen bulls, and two rams, and one goat. There remained there fourteen sheep for eight watches. On the first day, six were sacrificing two each, and the remaining, one each. On the second day, five were sacrificing two each, and the remaining, one each. On the third day, four were sacrificing two each, and the remaining, one each. On the fourth day, three were sacrificing two each, and the remaining, one each. On the fifth day, two were sacrificing two each, and the remaining, one each. On the sixth day, one was sacrificing two, and the remaining, one each. On the seventh day, all were equal. On the eighth day they returned to the lottery as on holidays. They said, he who sacrificed today may not sacrifice bulls the next day, but they were taking turns.
