English: “Which is in the Tent of Meeting” — if the ceiling of the heichal was breached he would not sprinkle.
In the sugya: The phrase “which is in the Tent of Meeting” is taken to require an intact Sanctuary structure for the validity of the inner blood applications.
Type of Learning
Requirement of intact heichal ceiling — inner hazayah is valid only when the Sanctuary ceiling is intact.
What Is Learned
Inner hazayah is valid only when the Sanctuary ceiling is intact. If the roof of the heichal has been breached, the blood applications toward the inner altar lose their validity. The verse’s reference to the Tent of Meeting is understood to presuppose the structural integrity of the building in which those applications take place.
