רבי אליעזר אומר לא נאמר הכתוב אלא להכשיר צפון שיכול והלא דין הוא ומה קדשים קלים שהוכשרו בכל הרוחות לא הוכשר מקומן אצל קדשי קדשים קדשי קדשים שלא הוכשרו אלא בצפון אינו דין שלא הוכשר מקומן אצל קדשים קלים ת"ל אהל מועד

- We bring it back into one [camp], not into two. If so, [you can] also [argue in respect of] withdrawing: we withdraw it from one, but not from two?<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' When Scripture implies that it is not bound to be eaten in a particular place, say that one camp (that of the Divine Presence) is excluded, but not two.');">²⁴</span> Moreover, it is written, Thou mayest not eat within they gates etc?<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' Deut. XII, 17. 'Within thy gates' means in the cities outside Jerusalem.');">²⁵</span> Rather, it clearly must be explained as Abaye. <big><b>MISHNAH: </b></big>THE PEACE-OFFERING IS A SACRIFICE OF LESSER SANCTITY. IT MAY BE SLAIN IN ANY PART OF THE TEMPLE COURT, AND ITS BLOOD REQUIRES TWO SPRINKLINGS, WHICH CONSTITUTE FOUR; AND IT MAY BE EATEN IN ANY PART OF THE CITY, BY ANY PERSON, PREPARED IN ANY WAY, DURING TWO DAYS AND ONE NIGHT. THE PARTS THEREOF WHICH ARE SEPARATED ARE SIMILAR, SAVE THAT THESE ARE EATEN BY PRIESTS, THEIR WIVES, THEIR SONS, AND THEIR SLAVES. <big><b>GEMARA: </b></big>Our Rabbis taught: And he shall kill it at the door of the tent of meeting. and he shall kill i before the tent of meeting. and he shall kill it before the tent of meeting:<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' Lev. III, 2, 8, 13.

Therefore 'the tent of meeting' is stated.<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' Implying any part of same.');">³¹</span>
