Do all the elements mentioned in the mishna that are needing for sanctifying additional space need to be there or is it sufficient for just one of them?  This has ramifications for the second temple period where not all these elements were accessible?  The debate regarding this is based on the whether or not the kedusha in the first temple remain forever or did it need resanctification in the time of Ezra.  From where do we derive that one who becomes impure in the mikdash will need to bring a sliding scale sacrifice if one doesn’t leave the temple immediately?  What are the measurements for how long one needs to be in there in order to be obligated in the sacrifice?  WOuld it be the same for one who did in intentionally and will be punished by lashes?

The braita at the end of the last page pointed out that the kohanim seem to be excluded from both the goat offering to azazel and from the bull offering of the high priest.  This assumption is challenged and explained.  The second perek starts with a description of the 4 cases of “yediot ha’tuma” and explain the 4 cases.  It also describes what one who becomes impure while in the mikdash should do.  Rav Papa challenges the number 4 used in the mishna and the gemara brings 2 versions of his answer to his own question.  A few questions for which there are no answers are brought regarding what is considered – having had knowledge from the beginning in particular cases.

The mishna is attributed to Rebbi as it seems to imply that Yom Kippur itself atones for sins even for those who don’t repent.  Could the mishna really be Rebbi – isn’t the continuation Rabbi Yehuda?  This issue is resolved and leads to further discussion.  Rabbi Yehuda and Rabbi Shimon’s debate regarding through which sacrifices on Yom Kippur do the kohanim receive atonement for all their sins – is it with the goat that is sent to Azazel or the bull of the high priest.

The debate between Rabbi Shimon and the rabbis is discussed relating to animals left over from the previous year that were designated for the Tamid sacrifice – can they be redeemed without a blemish or not.  According to Rabbi Shimon, they cannot – so what does one do with them?  What about a sin offering?

How do we know that the verses that obligate one to bring a sliding scale sin offering if one is impure is referring to one who entered the mikdash or ate kodashim?  How do we know that the sin offering that the Kohen brings on Yom Kippur whose blood is sprinkled on the inner altar is for sins of one who entered the mikdash impure or ate kodashim in a case where he knew he was impure, then forgot and then didn’t remember?

The mishna in Negaim which is somewhat parallel to our mishna regarding the 2 shades of white that are leprous in the Torah and the two that the Rabbis added, and elaborates a little more.  The gemara explains that the mishna there doesn’t match Rabbi Akiva’s opinion as the mishna connects between Avot and Toladot and Rabbi Akiva connects between the order of the shades of white.  The mishna then tries to derive from where we know Rabbi Akiva’s opinion.  The first attempt is unsuccessful but the second succeeds.  The gemara then explains about the different shades of the colors mentioned in the Torah.  From where do we know that the verses in the Torah regarding the requirement to bring a sliding scale sin offering for an impure person relate to one who went into the mikdash or ate sacred food?
