拉比以实玛利 门下教道:这一层可由轻重之论推来:大祭司穿金衣——那是他不穿着进至内一层、就是至圣所的——尚且须先浸身;那么穿白衣——那是他穿着进至内一层的——岂不更该先浸身么?革玛拉说:这一轻重之论驳得倒:金衣怎能这样比呢?它所成的赎罪广得多。大祭司通年都穿金衣供职,为以色列人的罪赎罪;白衣却只在赎罪日那一日穿。既如此,穿金衣以先要他浸身,原是合理的。不如说:这一层是从 拉比犹大·哈纳西 所引的那一节推来的。

The school of Rabbi Yishmael taught that it is derived by means of an a fortiori inference: Just as before donning golden garments, with which the High Priest does not enter the innermost sanctum, the Holy of Holies, the High Priest requires immersion, before donning white garments, with which the High Priest enters the innermost sanctum, is it not right that the High Priest require immersion?

革玛拉说:这一轻重之论驳得倒:金衣怎能这样比呢?它所成的赎罪广得多。
The Gemara asks: The a fortiori inference can be refuted: What is the comparison to golden garments, as the atonement that they effect is extensive?

大祭司通年都穿金衣供职,为以色列人的罪赎罪;白衣却只在赎罪日那一日穿。
The High Priest serves in the golden garments throughout the year atoning for the sins of the Jewish people; he wears the white garments on just one Yom Kippur.

既如此,穿金衣以先要他浸身,原是合理的。
Therefore, it is reasonable that before donning them, the High Priest would require immersion.
