Reference for Menachot 54:15

ורבי יהודה דאמר אל פני הכפרת דוקא (במדבר יט, ד) והזה אל נכח נמי דוקא

And R'Judah?<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' Is not the expression 'towards the front of the mercy-seat' required to show that the east side was meant?');">¹⁷</span> - [He says,] The verse should then have only stated [here] 'the front', why does it also state 'towards'?
