משנה: אַחַת לִשְׁלֹשִׁים יוֹם מְשַׁעֲרִין אֶת הַלִּשְׁכָּה. כָּל הַמְקַבֵּל עָלָיו לְסַפֵּק סְלָתוֹת מֵאַרְבַּע עָמְדוּ מִשָּׁלֹשׁ יְסַפֵּק מֵאַרְבַּע. מִשָּׁלֹשׁ וְעָמְדוּ מֵאַרְבַּע יְסַפֵּק מֵאַרְבַּע שֶׁיַּד הֶקְדֵּשׁ עַל הָעֶלְיוֹנָה. אִם הִתְלִיעָה סוֹלֶת הִתְלִיעָה לוֹ וְאִם הֶחְמִיץ יַיִן הֶחְמִיץ לוֹ. אֵינוֹ מְקַבֵּל אֶת מְעוֹתָיו עַד שֶׁיְּהֵא הַמִּזְבֵּחַ מְרַצֶּה:
MISHNAH: Once every thirty days one sets the prices for the office160One lets contracts to supply the Temple with wine and flour to accompany the sacrifices. This lets the Temple set the prices for these items as explained in the next Chapter.. Anyone who accepts to supply fine flour at a rate of four161The contract is to supply 4 seah of flour for one tetradrachma., if the going rate goes up to three he has to supply at the rate of four164When at the time of use the items were found to be in good order.; if at the rate of three and the going rate went down to four he has to supply at four since the hand of the sanctuary is privileged. If the flour turned out worm-infected, it was infected in his possession163Even if the worms were not detected at the time of delivery, only at the time of use.; and if the wine turned into vinegar it was vinegar in his possession. He is not paid until the altar did atone164When at the time of use the items were found to be in good order..
