The Mishna says that the kohen gadol slaughtered his bull, received its blood in a utensil, and then gave it to someone who would stir it on the fourth row in the sanctuary, to keep it from congealing. He then took the pan, went to the top of the altar, moved the coals aside, and filled the pan from the consumed coals further inside. He went down and placed the pan on the fourth row in the courtyard. The Mishna lists the differences between the service on Yom Kippur and every other day's service:

We examine the use of the censers and the ketoret s part of the ritual.

Finally we examine how the avodah translated into liturgy.
