Zevahim 63: A Fistful of Flour

Share this shiur:

Two new mishnayot! 1 – What is the proper place of the fistful of grain of the grain-offering? Defining “kimtzah” — scooping up the meal. That kimtzah was tantamount to the act of slaughtering of an animal sacrifice, in terms of the details surrounding it (of course, it’s not animal), like where in the courtyard the procedure could be done. 2 – The bird offering – and other procedures that were done above the red line and below the red line, respectively. Plus, directing traffic on the ramp of the altar, and traversing the top of the altar too.
