"ונמצה על קיר המזבח" – להקיש מזבח שגבי הקטרה ומיצוי. ששניהם למעלה. (ויקרא ס' פג) (ויתבאר לקמן כלל קנט כלל קס)
ונמצה על קיר המזבח (And the priest shall bring it to the altar, and pinch off its head, and make it smoke on the altar; and the blood thereof shall be drained out on the side of the altar)³¹⁹ – המזבח (altar) is repeated in order to compare המזבח with respect to smoke to המזבח with respect to draining; just as smoke is above, so is draining. And it is clarified later in Rule 159 and Rule 160.
