תַּנְיָא, אָמַר רַבִּי, מִנַּיִן לְחָמֵשׁ טְבִילוֹת וַעֲשָׂרָה קִדּוּשִׁין שֶׁטּוֹבֵל כֹּהֵן גָּדוֹל וּמְקַדֵּשׁ בּוֹ בַיּוֹם, שֶׁנֶּאֱמַר כְּתֹנֶת בַּד קֹדֶשׁ יִלְבָּשׁ וְרָחַץ בַּמַּיִם אֶת בְּשָׂרוֹ וּלְבֵשָׁם, וְאוֹמֵר בִּגְדֵי קֹדֶשׁ הֵם — הֻקְּשׁוּ כָּל הַבְּגָדִים זֶה לָזֶה.

English: R’ said: From where [do we know] five immersions and ten sanctifications that the Kohen Gadol immerses and sanctifies on that day? From “a sacred linen tunic shall he wear… and he shall wash… and put them on,” and “they are sacred garments” — all the garments are equated to one another.

Type of Learning

Five tevilot and ten kiddushin

What Is Learned

Each change of garments on Yom Kippur requires immersion and sanctification; the five changes yield five immersions and ten hand-washings.
