——而圣所的供职越过安息日,因为安息日的祭仍按时献上;然而割礼越过大麻风——婴孩的包皮上若有麻风的症候,人仍给他行割礼,虽然那样就割去了麻风的症候。既然如此,论安息日——那是被供职越过的——割礼既严紧到越过大麻风,岂不更当越过安息日么?这是那坦拿起初的理路。

——而圣所的供职越过安息日,因为安息日的祭仍按所定的时候献上;然而割礼越过大麻风——婴孩的包皮上若有大麻风的症候,人仍给他行割礼,虽然他这样行就割去了麻风的症候、犯了那条禁例。既然如此,论安息日——那是被圣所的供职越过的——割礼既这样严紧、连大麻风也越过,岂不更当越过安息日么?
and the Temple service overrides Shabbat, as Shabbat offerings are sacrificed at their appointed time, and nevertheless circumcision overrides leprosy, i.e., if there were symptoms of leprosy on the foreskin of the baby, one circumcises the child even though he thereby violates the prohibition to cut off symptoms of leprosy; therefore, with regard to Shabbat, which is overridden by the Temple service, is it not logical that circumcision, which is so stringent that it overrides leprosy, overrides Shabbat as well?

This was the tanna’s reasoning at the outset.
