Commentary for Zevachim 235:2

אלא הא כתיב איש לאו למימרא דאיש ישרות הוא דליקרוב הא חובות לא ליקרוב כי כתיב איש להכשיר את הזר

but at the great bamah one could offer even statutory offerings. But surely 'man' is written, and does that not intimate that [only] a man may offer voluntary but not obligatory sacrifices?<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' And if this does not apply to the public bamah too, why is 'man' written? Scripture should simply write, Whatsoever is right in his eyes, and since 'in his eyes' implies a private bamah, it is obvious that the limitation applies to an individual only, for the community did not sacrifice at a private bamah. Hence 'man' must teach that this limitation applies to the public bamah too.');">³</span>
