Completion of the Daily Avodah

For the last time, the Kohain Gadol went back to the Bais Haparvah, removed his linen garments, immersed himself and put on the eight golden garments. He washed his hands and feet before removing one set of garments and after putting on the second. He put the linen garments away. This set was never used again.

He then completed the Mussaf Korbanos and the afternoon Tamid. He repeated all that was done in the morning for the daily Avodah of the morning. He kindled the Menorah that burned throughout the night.

When he completed the Avodah, he washed his hands and feet for the tenth time. Then he changed back into his regular clothing and returned to his home.

The completion of the Avodah called for much festivity and was celebrated by the Kohain Gadol and his friends with a meal on the following day.
