Core Text — Zevachim 119b
אין כהן ואין מתנות סביב למזבח בבמה — דכתיב וזרק הכהן על מזבח ה' פתח אהל מועד.

English: On a private bamah there is neither a required Kohen nor the surrounding blood applications — the verse ties the Kohen and the altar to the entrance of the Tent.

Type of Learning

Bamah vs. Mishkan service

What Is Learned

The full blood-service performed by a Kohen is required only at the central sanctuary, not at a private altar.
