Tamid 3:8-9

Tamid 3:8

They could hear the sound of the Great Gate being opened as far away as Jericho. From Jericho, they could also hear the magreifa (the name of an instrument); the wooden pulley that Ben Katin made for the basin; the voice of Gevini the announcer (who would call the kohanim, Leviim and Yisroelim to their respective tasks); the sound of the flutes; the sound of the cymbals; the sound of the Levites singing; the sound of the shofar. Some say they could also hear the voice of the kohein gadol when he pronounced God’s explicit Name on Yom Kippur. They could smell the aroma of the incense from Jericho. Rabbi Eliezer ben Diglai said that his father had goats on Mount Michvar (far from Jerusalem) and they would sneeze from the smell of the incense spices.

Tamid 3:9

The one who won the lottery to remove the ashes from the inside altar went in carrying the basket, which he put down in front of the altar. He scooped up the ashes by hand and put them in the basket. At the end, he swept the remainder into the basket and left it there when he departed. The one who won the lottery to remove the ashes from the Menorah went in; if he found the two eastern lights burning, he would remove the ashes from the rest and leave those two burning. If he found those two lights had gone out, he would remove the ashes from those two and then relight them from those that were still burning, after which he would remove the ashes from the rest. There was a stone in front of the menorah with three steps on which the kohein would stand to trim the lights. He would leave the jug on the second step when he departed.
