TOSFOS DH v'Lo Al Gabei Mechilos

úåñôåú ã"ä åìà òì âáé îçéìåú

(SUMMARY: Tosfos explains why the Shitin could be underneath.)

áåø ùì ùéúéï ìà äéä çùåá îçéìä ëéåï ãäåà öåøê îæáç

(a)

Explanation: The pit of Shitin was not considered a tunnel, for it was a need of the Mizbe'ach.

2)

TOSFOS DH Af Mizbe'ach Shishim Amah

úåñôåú ã"ä àó îæáç ùùéí àîä

(SUMMARY: Tosfos resolves this with the Gemara in Chulin.)

åäà ãàîø (áñåó) [áøéù] ëéñåé äãí (çåìéï ãó ôâ:) ÷îåñéó àáðééï

(a)

Implied question: It says in Chulin (83b, that we cannot leave earth permanently on the Mizbe'ach for the sake of Kisuy ha'Dam of Melikah, for this) adds to the Binyan (it will be Batel to the Mizbe'ach. Here we permit adding!)

äééðå ëùäéä äîæáç òã ùùéí

(b)

Answer #1: There it discusses when the Mizbe'ach is already 60 (the maximum allowed).

à''ð îâåáä ôøéê äúí

(c)

Answer #2: We ask there from [the Isur to add to] the height.

àé ðîé ôøéê ÷îåñéó ùìà éäà øáåò ùòì ëì îìé÷ú òåó àéï éëåìú ìúú òôø áëì ñáéáéå ëãé ìøáòå ëîùôèå

(d)

Answer #3: We ask that he adds, and it will not be square. One cannot add earth on all sides around after every Melikah to make it square, like it must be!

TOSFOS DH Echad she'He'id Lahem Al ha'Mizbe'ach

úåñôåú ã"ä àçã ùäòéã ìäí òì äîæáç

(SUMMARY: Tosfos explains why this was needed.)

úéîä ÷øà ëúéá áéçæ÷àì (îâ) åäàøéàì ùúéí òùøä àîåú àìîà î÷åí äîòøëä ë''ã òì ë''ã åîäàé ÷øà ãøùéðï áîúðé' ãîãåú (ô''â î''à)

(a)

Question: A verse in Yechezkel says "veha'Ari'el Shteim Esrei Amos... [El Arba'as Reva'av]" - this shows that the area of the Ma'arachah was 24 by 24 (12 by 12 in each quadrant), and from this verse we expound in Midos (3:1)! (Why did they need a Navi for this when building Bayis Sheni?)

åé''ì ãàé ìàå òãåú äééðå îôøùé' òí î÷åí ÷øðåú ùìà ìùðåú îîæáç ùìîä

(b)

Answer: If not for testimony, we would have explained that this is with the Keranos, lest it be different than Shlomo's Mizbe'ach (the place of the Ma'arachah was 20 by 20 - Shitah Mekubetzes).

4)

TOSFOS DH v'Echad she'Makrivin Af Al Pi she'Ein Bayis

úåñôåú ã"ä åàçã ùî÷øéáéï àò''ô ùàéï áéú

(SUMMARY: Tosfos explains that this depends only on Kedushas ha'Bayis.)

ã÷ãåùú áéú ÷éãùä ìùòúä åìòúéã

(a)

Explanation: This is because Kedushas ha'Bayis was permanent.

åìà ãîé ì÷ãåùú äàøõ ã÷é''ì ãáèìä ëãîåëç áô''÷ ãçåìéï (å:) âáé áéú ùàï ùéù çéìå÷ áéðéäí ëãôøéùéú ìòéì (ñà. ã''ä îàé)

1.

This is unlike Kedushas ha'Aretz, which we hold that it was Batel, like is proven in Chulin (6b) regarding Beis She'an (R. Meir ate Yerek there without tithing it), for there is a difference between them, like I explained above (61a DH Mai).

5)

TOSFOS DH Midas Archo u'Midas Rachbo Ein Me'akvin

úåñôåú ã"ä îãú àøëå åîãú øçáå àéï îòëáéï

(SUMMARY: Tosfos resolves this with the Gemara in Chulin.)

åäà ãëúéá äëì áëúá îéã ä' òìé äùëéì åîééøé àó âáé îæáç ëãàéúà ôø÷ ëéñåé äãí (çåìéï ôâ:) ãîä áéú ùùéí àó îæáç ùùéí

(a)

Implied question: It says "ha'Kol bi'Chsav mi'Yad Hash-m Alai Hiskil" even regarding the Mizbe'ach, like it says in Chulin (83b) - just like the Bayis (length of the Heichal) is 60 [Amos], also the Mizbe'ach is 60!

äééðå ùéäà ÷ãåù òã ùùéí àí éøöå ìäøçéáå åìà ùéäà çåáä ìòùåú ëï:

(b)

Answer: It means that it is Kadosh up to 60 if they want to widen it, but there is no obligation to do so.

TOSFOS DH b'Amah Gedumah

úåñôåú ã"ä áàîä âãåîä

(SUMMARY: Tosfos brings two versions of this.)

çñéøä

(a)

Version #1: This is a deficient [Amah].

åáòøåê ôéøù âøåîä áøé''ù ëîå ðåúï ìå àú âéøåîéå (á''á ôç:)

(b)

Version #2: The Aruch explained that it is Gerumah, with a Reish, like "he gives Girumav" (what heaps above the top of the Kli);

åøá éåñó ôøéê îîúðéúà ùìà éäå òöéí (äâää áâìéåï îùéèä î÷åáöú) éåöàéí

1.

Rav Yosef asked from a Beraisa that teaches that wood may not stick out [from the place of the Ma'arachah].

7)

TOSFOS DH Avir Karka Mafsiko

úåñôåú ã"ä àåéø ÷ø÷ò îôñé÷å

(SUMMARY: Tosfos points out that this is not precise.)

÷ø÷ò ìàå ãå÷à ùäéä ôåøç àîä òì éñåã åàîä òì ñåáá

(a)

Observation: "Ground" is not precise, for [the gap] towered above the Amah of the Yesod and the Amah of the Sovev.

åáìàå ÷øà äéä öøéê àåéø îùåí ùðàîø ñáéá ëãáñîåê

(b)

Implied question: Even without this verse, we would need air because it says Saviv, like below (it must be possible to surround the Mizbe'ach, i.e. nothing touches it)!

àìà ãñâé áîùäå àáì äëà áòéðï àåéø âãåì åðéëø ùäåà ìöåøê àåéø

(c)

Answer: Mashehu (any amount) suffices [for Saviv]. However, here we require much air, and evident that it is for the sake of air.

8)

TOSFOS DH d'Arich v'Katan

úåñôåú ã"ä ãàøéê å÷èéï

(SUMMARY: Tosfos questions this Havah Amina.)

åäà ãëúéá çîù àîåú àåøê åçîù àîåú øåçá

(a)

Implied question: It is written "Chamesh Amos Orech v'Chamesh Amos Rochav" (it must be square)!

ìîöåä åäàé ÷øà ìòëá

(b)

Answer: That is l'Chatchilah. This verse teaches that [squareness] is Me'akev.

åîéäå ÷ùä ãìòëá îäîæáç ðô÷à

(c)

Question: We know that it is Me'akev from "ha'Mizbe'ach"!

9)

TOSFOS DH Shitin v'Dalet Havu

úåñôåú ã"ä ùéúéï åã' äåå

(SUMMARY: Tosfos points out that this is like Levi.)

äééðå ëìåé ãàîø ìòéì (ãó ðã.) áãîéí

(a)

Observation: This is like Levi, who said above (54a that there was a physical Yesod on all sides, but in the south and east it was not considered a Yesod) for blood;

åð÷éè ëååúéä îùåí úøâåí ãéãï ãîúøâîéðï áàçñðúéä éúáðé î÷ãùà

1.

[Our Gemara] holds like him due to our Targum (of "Binyamin Ze'ev Yitrof...") - Mikdesha (a place sanctified to receive blood) will be built in his portion;

àáì ìøá ãìà äåä ìéä éñåã ááðéï äåä ìéä îæáç îï äöôåï åìãøåí ì''à åëáù ì''á äøé ñ''â ä''ì ìùðåéé ùäéä ôåøç òì äñåáá àîä

2.

However, according to Rav, that there was no built Yesod (in the south), the Mizbe'ach was only 31 Amos from north to south, and the ramp was 32, i.e. 63 in all. [The Gemara] should have answered that [the ramp] towered above [only] the Amah of the Sovev.
