Why specifically branches as firewood on the Altar?



The Next CEO of Stack OverflowWhy was the side door to the hechal unlocked so oddly?Nahmanides on the Golden AltarWhy didn't kohanim undress themselves?Why is there such fervor to say the blessing on blossoming fruit trees?How is the small side of a lamb the “large” side?In 1 Melachim 2, what does it mean Yoav took hold of the horns of the altar?Where did the incense-altar sweeper get his broom from?Did the Maccabees properly restore the temple?Why were there so many Karbanos Eitzim in Av, and so few during the rest of the year?Why does the ash-clearing kohen get a reminder of where the shovel is?

In Tamid 2:3, the Mishna tells us that the kohanim would bring גִזְרִין - logs - every morning to serve as the fuel for the fire on the Altar. It goes on to report that most types of wood are eligible, but that




בְּאֵלּוּ רְגִילִין, בְּמֻרְבִּיּוֹת שֶׁל תְּאֵנָה וְשֶׁל אֱגוֹז וְשֶׁל עֵץ שָׁמֶן



It was [the wood] of these [trees] they commonly used, branches of a fig tree, walnut [tree] or an oil [tree].




What does the word מֻרְבִּיּוֹת, "branches" at least according to R' Ovadia Mibartenura, tell us here? Was the common practice to use branches specifically, as opposed to trunks of these trees? If so, why? Was it that the branches tended to more closely match the necessary dimensions of the logs that were required? Was it because branches were more of a renewable resource, not requiring the destruction of a whole tree to harvest?

The unknown commentary1 to this Mishnah in the Talmud says that branches burn easily and do not produce [too much] smoke. He also states several other advantages for using younger branches than older wood. Raavad even calls these the ‘best’ of the wood. The Talmud itself (Rabbi Eliezer, 29b) lists additional possible woods which were used, such as: lote, sycamore, oak, palm, carob.



Other problems mentioned in the commentaries (e.g. Rosh) is not to have a product which leaves over a lot of ash, because it is troublesome to those who must remove it.



Also, make sure there are no worms in your wood!






  1. Or not, see Shita Mikubetzes from Tosfos, Yoma 16b, ‘haShulchanos’.
