No fly was seen in the</b> place where the offerings were <b>cut up. 4. Never did the High Priest</b> become <b>impure on Yom Kippur. 5. The rains did not extinguish the fire of the wood-pile</b> on the altar. <b>6. The wind did not succeed</b> in disrupting <b>the</b> neat <b>column of smoke</b> rising from the fire on the altar. <b>7. No disqualifying issues were ever found with the Omer</b> offering on the second day of Pesach, <b>with the two loaves</b> offered on Shavuot, <b>or with the Showbread</b> baked each week. 8. When the people in the Holy Temple <b>stood, they were packed together;</b> yet when <b>they bowed,</b> they had <b>plenty of space.</b>¹ <b>9. No snake or scorpion caused harm in Jerusalem. 10.
