וקמץ משם — ממקום שרגלי הזר עומדות

English: “And he shall take a fistful from there” — from the place where the feet of the layman stand.

Type of Learning

Diyuk on mi-sham — “from there” points back to the place already occupied by the non-kohen who brought the offering.

What Is Learned

Kemitzah is valid anywhere in the azarah, including the eleven amos of the Israelites’ standing area, not only next to the altar.
