(Mishnah): The only difference between (the Mikdashos in) Shilo and Yerushalayim is that Kodshim Kalim and Ma'aser Sheni could be eaten anywhere from which Shilo was visible, whereas the Heter of Yerushalayim was only within the wall.

In both places, Kodshei Kodoshim were eaten within the curtains. (In Shilo there were curtains around Chatzer ha'Mishkan. In Yerushalayim there were curtains around the Azarah while they were building the walls; after they were built, Kodshei Kodoshim were eaten within the walls.)

Kedushas Shilo, there is a Heter [for Bamos] after it [was destroyed]. Kedushas Yerushalayim, there is no Heter after it.

(Gemara - R. Yochanan bar Maryei): We learn [Heter after Kedushas Ohel Mo'ed and Shilo] from "Az Yivneh Yehoshua Mizbe'ach la'Shem Elokei Yisrael b'Har Eival."

Question: This teaches only about Har Eival (i.e. after Kedushas Ohel Mo'ed). What is the source for [after] Shilo?

Answer #1: It says "va'Yikach Shmuel Tele Chalav Echad va'Ya'alehu Olah Kalil la'Shem."

(R. Aba bar Kahana): Three Aveiros were permitted in Shmuel's lamb - it and its skin [were offered. An Olah must be flayed], Mechusar Zman, and he was a Levi [and not a Kohen. Therefore, we must say that he offered it on a Bamah.]

(R. Yosah): You cannot learn from anything from here. (Just like there was a Hora'as Sha'ah for the skin and Mechusar Zman, perhaps also regarding offering on a Bamah!)

(R. Aba bar Kahana): Seven Aveiros were permitted in Gid'on's ox - Pasul rocks (from the Mizbe'ach of the Ba'al), wood of an Asheirah, Muktzah (it was designated for idolatry), it was worshpped, it was at night, he was a Zar, and the Isur of a Bamah.

Answer #2: One who wants to learn this properly, learns from R. Shmuel bar Nachman's teaching;

"U'Teshuvaso ha'Ramasah Ki Sham Beiso v'Sham Shafat Es Yisrael va'Yiven Sham Mizbe'ach la'Shem";

It says "va'Yarem ha'Tabach Es ha'Shuk vehe'Aleha va'Yasem Lifnei Sha'ul..."

(R. Shmuel bar Nachman): [Ha'Shuk vehe'Aleha] is the thigh and the bone above it. (This shows that it was offered on a Bamas Yachid. If it were on a Bamas Tzibur, the thigh would be given to a Kohen!)

(R. Yochanan): It is the thigh and the tail.

(R. Lazar): It is Chazah v'Shok, for R. Lazar said that Chazah v'Shok is given to Kohanim from [a Shelamim offered on] a Bamah Gedolah, and to the owner (he gets the entire animal) from a Bamah Ketanah.

(R. Zeirah citing R. Lazar): Skin of an Olah is given to Kohanim [when it is offered] on a Bamah Gedolah, and to the owner from a Bamah Ketanah.

(R. Zeirah citing R. Yirmeyah): Terumas Todah (one loaf of each kind of bread is given) to Kohanim [when it is offered] on a Bamah Gedolah, and to the owner from a Bamah Ketanah.

Question (R. Yochanan): Is [Avodah at] night Kosher on a Bamah?

Answer (R. Lazar) Contradiction: It says "va'Yomer Sha'ul Putzu va'Am va'Amartem Lahem Hagishu Elai Ish Shoro..." (and they gave their oxen at night and slaughtered them), and it says "va'Yagidu l'Sha'ul Leimor Hinei ha'Am Chot'im la'Shem Le'echol Al ha'Dam..." (bring to me... during the day)!

Resolution (R. Lazar): Night is for Chulin, and the day is for Kodshim.

Approval: When R. Yochanan heard, he said "R. Lazar taught us well"!

(R. Pinchas citing R. Yosah bei R. Ilai) Contradiction: One verse says "va'Yitosh Mishkan Shilo [Ohel...", i.e. a mere tent] and another verse says "va'Tevi'ehu Veis Hash-m Shilo" (a house)!

Resolution: It was a stone house below, with curtains above. This was Menuchah (of the verse "Ki Lo Vasem... El ha'Menuchah v'El ha'Nachalah", brought below).

(R. Zeirah): [The building below] must be was at least 10 Tefachim [tall], like a house (Pnei Moshe).

Just like the Ohel Mo'ed was spread, so the Ohel in Shilo was spread. (Alei Tamar - this is not a question.)

(R. Yosi bei R. Bun): "Kerasav Kerashav Berichav v'Amudav va'Adanav" - the clasps were seen from inside like stars in the sky. (Alei Tamar - this teaching is not relevant here.)

(R. Chiyah Rabah to R. Shimon ben Rebbi): I heard from your father that all the Chupos (places where the Shechinah hovered, i.e. Shilo, Nov and Giv'on, and the Beis ha'Mikdash) were only in the portion of Binyamin. What is the reason? It says "u'Vein Keseifav Shachen."

Objection: It says "va'Yim'as b'Ohel Yosef" (this implies that Shilo was in Yosef's portion)!

Correction - Question: Rather, [Rebbi learns from a Gezeirah Shavah] "Bechirah-Bechirah." "Uv'Shevet Efrayim Lo Bachar va'Yivchar b'Shevet Yehudah" - did He choose Yehudah? (The Beis ha'Mikdash was primarily in Binyamin's portion!)

Answer: The Bechirah said below (Yehudah, i.e. Beis ha'Mikdash), Binyamin was included. Also the Bechirah said here (Efrayim, i.e. Shilo), Binyamin was included.

(R. Yonah citing R. Avahu citing R. Yosi ben Chaninah): "U'Rtzon Shochni Sneh" - Korbanos that are Meratzeh (appease Hash-m, who put His presence in the burning bush), are eaten in the portion of Yosef.

(Rav Avodamah of Tziporen): [In Shilo, a strip of land] like a triangle entered from the portion of Yosef to the portion of Binyamin, and the Mizbe'ach was placed on it;

What is the reason? "V'Nasav ha'Gevul Mizrachah Ta'anas Shilo" - until the threshold of Shilo. (Alei Tamar - the strip was called Ta'anas.)

(R. Yonah citing R. Avahu citing R. Yosi ben Chaninah): "U'Rtzon Shochni Sneh" - the Shechinah dwelled amidst [the portions of] the haters (brothers) of Yosef.
