The
Mishna in Yoma says and we say in the Machzor that part of the job of preparing
the Kohen Gadol for the Avoda is that they made him swear that he wouldn’t do
things differently than required. This is because the Tzedukim attempted to do
things differently. They had different Shittas about how the Ketores was to be offered.
Therefore the Kohen Gadol was made to swear that he wouldn’t do anything
different. After that Shevua the Kohen Gadol would step away and weep because
they had accused him of being a Tzeduki and the Sanhedrin that made him swear would
weep because there is a terrible punishment for one who is Choshed Bich’shairim.
A
difficulty with this is if it had been a spontaneous action when the people
were Choshed him then it makes sense that he was weeping and they were weeping.
However, it is not so because it is setup in the Mishna that one is required to
make the Kohen Gadol swear. Once someone is required to do it, it is just part
of the Seder Hadevorim and they are not being Choshed Bich’shairim. They were
just doing what the Mishna says that they are obligated to do when they
prepared the Kohen Gadol. The fact that the Sanhedrin & the Kohen Gadol turned
aside to weep is something that is Tzorech Iyun Gadol.
