Commentary for Zevachim 76:1

מאי לאו אפלגיה דמזבח כדאמרי אינשי טהר טיהרא דיומא אמר רבא בר שילא לא אגילוייה דכתיב (שמות כד, י) וכעצם השמים לטוהר

<br> Surely that means on the [upper] half of the altar, as people say, The noon-light shines, and so it is midday? Said Raba b. Shila, No: [it means] on the [altar's] top surface [cleared] from ashes, for it is written, and the like of the very heaven for clearness. But there is the remainder [of the blood]? - The [pouring out of] the remainder [at the altar's base] is not essential. But there is the remainder of inner sin-offerings, which, according to one view is essential? We mean in one and the same place. <br>
