Yoma 33:1
Abaye arranges the sequence of daily Temple service procedures according to tradition and Abba Shaul's opinion, establishing a hierarchical order beginning with the large wood arrangement, followed by the incense wood arrangement, setting of logs, removal of ashes from the inner altar and candelabrum lamps, the daily offering blood-sprinkling, incense burning, burning of limbs, meal-offering, and the High Priest's griddle-cake offering.
אַבָּיֵי מְסַדֵּר מַעֲרָכָה מִשְּׁמֵיהּ דִּגְמָרָא וְאַלִּיבָּא דְּאַבָּא שָׁאוּל: מַעֲרָכָה גְּדוֹלָה קוֹדֶמֶת לְמַעֲרָכָה שְׁנִיָּה שֶׁל קְטוֹרֶת, מַעֲרָכָה שְׁנִיָּה שֶׁל קְטוֹרֶת קוֹדֶמֶת לְסִידּוּר שְׁנֵי גְּזִירֵי עֵצִים, וְסִידּוּר שְׁנֵי גְּזִירֵי עֵצִים קוֹדֵם לְדִישּׁוּן מִזְבֵּחַ הַפְּנִימִי, וְדִישּׁוּן מִזְבֵּחַ הַפְּנִימִי קוֹדֵם לַהֲטָבַת חָמֵשׁ נֵרוֹת, וַהֲטָבַת חָמֵשׁ נֵרוֹת קוֹדֵם לְדַם הַתָּמִיד, וְדַם הַתָּמִיד קוֹדֵם לַהֲטָבַת שְׁתֵּי נֵרוֹת, וַהֲטָבַת שְׁתֵּי נֵרוֹת קוֹדֵם לִקְטוֹרֶת, וּקְטוֹרֶת קוֹדֵם לְאֵבָרִים, וְאֵבָרִים לְמִנְחָה, וּמִנְחָה לַחֲבִיתִּין, וַחֲבִיתִּין לִנְסָכִין,
§ Abaye arranged the sequence of the daily services in the Temple based on tradition and in accordance with the opinion of Abba Shaul: Setting up the large arrangement of wood on the altar on which the offerings were burned precedes the second arrangement of wood. This second arrangement was arranged separately near the southwest corner of the altar, and twice every day priests raked coals from it and placed them on the inner altar in order to burn the incense. The second arrangement for the incense precedes setting up the two logs of wood above the large arrangement to fulfill the mitzva of bringing wood. And the setting up of the two logs of wood precedes the removal of ashes from the inner altar. And the removal of ashes from the inner altar precedes the removal of ashes from five of the seven lamps of the candelabrum. And removal of ashes from five lamps precedes the slaughter and the receiving and sprinkling of the blood of the daily morning offering. The sprinkling of the blood of the daily offering precedes the removal of ashes from the two remaining lamps of the candelabrum. And the removal of ashes from two lamps precedes the burning of the incense. The burning of the incense on the inner altar precedes the burning of the limbs of the daily offering on the outer altar. The burning of the limbs precedes the sacrifice of the meal-offering which accompanies the daily offering. The sacrifice of the meal-offering precedes the sacrifice of the High Priest’s daily griddle-cake offering, half of which he sacrificed in the morning and half in the afternoon. And the griddle-cake offering precedes the pouring of the libations of the daily offering.
