DAF DISCUSSIONS - ZEVACHIM 62

Gershon Dubin asked:

Why does Rashi on 62a say that penei hamizbe'ach means the darom, just as penei ohel mo'ed means mizrach, when on omud beis the Gemara has a whole derivation of penei?

The Kollel replies:

Rashi on 62a writes that wherever the Kevesh is located, that side is called the "Penei." On the next Amud, the Gemara determines where the Kevesh was located.
