Core Text of Chazal

Core Text
״וְהִגִּישָׁהּ אֶל־הַמִּזְבֵּחַ״ — מִכָּאן שֶׁאֵין הַגָּשָׁה נוֹהֶגֶת בַּבָּמָה.

English: “And he shall bring it near to the altar” — from here [we learn] that hagashah does not apply on a private bamah.

On the daf / in context: Services required at the public altar but not at a private high place include mincha-hagashah. The definite “the altar” ties the act to the Mishkan / Mikdash altar, not a private bamah.

Type of Learning

Custom (diyuk from “the altar”).

What Is Learned

Hagashah of a mincha is not practiced on a private bamah.
