Core Text — Zevachim 119b
אֵין מַתְּנוֹת סָבִיב נוֹהֶגֶת בַּבָּמָה — דִּכְתִיב ״וְזָרְקוּ… סָבִיב… פֶּתַח אֹהֶל מוֹעֵד״.

English: The “around” applications do not apply on a bamah — for the verse says “and they shall dash… around… the entrance of the Tent of Meeting.”

In the sugya: Parallel to semicha’s exclusion from private bamot: saviv blood placement is tied to the Tent of Meeting’s altar. A private bamah does not carry this matanot-saviv requirement.

Type of Learning

Miyut from “entrance of the Tent of Meeting” — saviv is Mishkan/Temple, not bamah.

What Is Learned

Saviv blood placement is tied to the Mishkan/Temple altar framework, not to a private bamah. The verse’s closing “entrance of the Tent of Meeting” is what locks the geography.
