The Mishna states that the method of slaughtering a red heifer ( para aduma ) is not the same method used for breaking the back of the neck of a decapitated heifer ( egla arufa ), and vice-versa. A braita brings a source demonstrating that one cannot break the back of the neck of th e para aduma and that one cannot slaughter the egla arufa . Both laws are derived from verses found within the passage of the egla arufa . The Mishna notes that while blemished kohanim are disqualified from Temple service, blemished Levites are fit for their respective duties. Conversely, while Levites are restricted to a specific age range for their service, kohanim can work in the Temple at all ages.

Regarding this age restriction for the Levites, a contradiction arises between two verses, as one states the youngest age one can work is thirty, while another states twenty-five.

The maximum age for their service is when they reach old age, which Rabbi Ela in the name of Rabbi Chanina defines as the point when one begins to tremble. Rav Chisda explains the scriptural source behind this minimum age debate. Later, the Gemara brings two explanations regarding whether Rebb…
