Mesorat%20hashas for Zevachim 126:7

כשאתה אומר אל פני ה' במערב היכן קיימת אל פני המזבח וכשאתה אומר אל פני המזבח בדרום קיימת לפני ה'

R'Eleazar said: You might think that he presents it on the west of the horn or the south of the horn; but you can rebut [this], [for] wherever you find two texts, one confirming itself and the other, whereas the second confirms itself but annuls the other, you abandon the one which confirms itself and annuls the other, and accept that which confirms itself and the other too. Thus, if you say 'before the Lord' [means] in the west, how can you confirm 'in front of the altar'?
