Core Text of Chazal

Core Text
תְּנוּפָה לִפְנֵי יְהֹוָה — אֵין תְּנוּפָה בַּבָּמָה, דִּכְתִיב וְהֵנִיף אֹתָם תְּנוּפָה לִפְנֵי יְהֹוָה.

English: “A wave offering before Hashem” — there is no tenufah on a private altar (bamah), for it is written “and he shall wave them as a wave offering before Hashem.”

Type of Learning

Exclusion of bamah

What Is Learned

Chazal teach that the tenufah of the metzora’s asham and oil is performed only before Hashem in the Sanctuary, not on a private bamah.
