״בְּנֵי אַהֲרֹן הַכֹּהֲנִים״ — שֶׁתְּהֵא בְּכֹהֵן כָּשֵׁר וּבִכְלֵי שָׁרֵת.

English: “The sons of Aharon the Kohanim” — that it be performed by a fit Kohen and with ministering vessels.

In the sugya: “The Kohanim” after “sons of Aharon” is not decoration. It requires a Kohen who is currently fit for avodah, and the blood service is done with klei shares — not improvised vessels.

Type of Learning

Specification of kehunah and vessels — fit Kohen and klei shares.

What Is Learned

Receiving and related blood avodah require a valid Kohen and ministering vessels. “Bnei Aharon the Kohanim” locks both the person and the implements of the service.
