ובקרן מערבית דרומית. למטה באמה של יסוד היו שני נקבים:
שהדמים הניתנים על יסוד מערבי. כגון שיירי הדם של חטאות הפנימיות, שלאחר כל המתנות היה שופך שיירי הדם על יסוד מערבי:
ועל יסוד דרומי. שיירי הדם של חיצוניות:
יורדין. דרך אותן נקבים, ומתערבים באמת המים שבעזרה, ומשם יוצאין לנחל קדרון. ובעלי גנות היו קונים אותן מן הגזברים לזבל בהן את הקרקע:

באותו הקרן – of the southwestern [corner].
שבו יורדין לשית – to a cavity that is underneath the altar corresponding to the place of the libations (see Tractate Meilah, Chapter 3, Mishnah 3).
וכבש היה לדרומו של מזבח – a kind of slanting bridge and it is made sloping for on it they ascend and descend from the altar. For it was not possible to ascend to it on the steps because it states (Exodus 20:23): “Do not ascend My altar by steps, [that your nakedness may not be exposed upon it].”
שלשים ושתים – its length was given from south to north, and its width from east to west, sixteen cubits.
ורבובה (a cavity in the ascent to the altar for deposit of ritually disqualified fowls) – it is a kind of hollow window. It was one cubit by one cubit. And it stood on the ramp to its western side.
רבובה – like hallow/נבוב , in the language of נבוב לחות (Job 11:12): “A hollow man will get understanding, [When a wild ass is born a man].”
נותנין פסולי חטאת העוף – that they will be there until they are brought to [become] left-overs (after the time permitted for it to be eaten; if one consumes it, one is punishable by extirpation. The Sages rendered these leftovers as ritually impure, so that the priests would be meticulous in their removal), and afterwards, they would go out to the House of the Burning.
באותו הקרן. של מערבית דרומית:
שבו יורדין לשית. לחלל שתחת המזבח כנגד מקום הנסכים:
וכבש היה, לדרומו של מזבח. כמין גשר משופע ועשוי מדרון שבו עולין ויורדין מן המזבח. שלא היה אפשר לעלות לו במעלות משום שנאמר (שמות כ׳:כ״ג) ולא תעלה במעלות על מזבחי:
ורבובה. כמין חלון חלול. ואמה על אמה היה, ובכבש עצמו למערבו היה עומד:
רבובה. כמו נבובה, לשון נבוב לחות:
נותנים פסולי חטאת העוף. שיהיו שם עד שיבואו לידי נותר ואח״כ יצאו לבית השריפה:
