Core Text — Zevachim 119b
״וְהִגִּישָׁהּ אֶל הַמִּזְבֵּחַ״ — מִכָּאן שֶׁאֵין הַגָּשָׁה נוֹהֶגֶת בַּבָּמָה.

English: “And he shall present it to the altar” — from here that presentation does not apply on a private bamah.

In the sugya: The explicit reference to the altar limits the requirement to the Temple setting.

Type of Learning

Miyut of bamah — hagashah is a Temple-altar requirement only.

What Is Learned

Hagashah is a Temple-altar requirement, not for a private high place. The verse’s direction to present the offering “to the altar” teaches that the act of presentation has no place on a private bamah.
