Core Text of Chazal

Core Text — Yoma 71a
אשר לבש — אשר לבש כבר; מלמד שבין עבודת היום להוצאת כף ומחתה מחליף בגדיו.

English: “Which he put on” — which he had already put on; this teaches that between the day’s service and the removal of the ladle and fire-pan he changes his garments.

Type of Learning

Temporal inference from “already”.

What Is Learned

The white garments worn for the inner service are changed (after the outer gold-garment service of the olot) before Aharon re-enters to remove the incense vessels; the verse’s wording indicates a prior donning and a subsequent change.
