Consequently, the Kohen first applies the blood to the southern Keranos (corners) of the Mizbe'ach and then to the northern ones. He finishes the applications at the northeastern Keren, and while standing there he sprinkles the seven Haza'os on the top of the Mizbe'ach. 8) [line 40] MAKOM SHE'KIDSHO - the place where he [finishes the application of the blood to the Keranos, which] sanctifies it (the Mizbe'ach) 9) [line 49] PISCHA B'DAROM KAI - the entrance to the Heichal was to the south of the Mizbe'ach, i.e. the entrance to the Heichal was located in the middle of the Azarah and the Mizbe'ach was located in the northern part of the Azarah. According to Rebbi Shimon ben Yochai, either (a) only the one Amah of the Yesod was in front of the entrance, or (b) five Amos of the Mizbe'ach (including the southern Yesod) were in front of the opening. As the Kohen Gadol emerged from the center of the entrance, the *entire* Yesod Deromi lay in front of him, as opposed to the Yesod Ma'aravi, of which only a part lay in front of him (TOSFOS Zevachim 53a and Shitah Mekubetzes ibid. #13). 10) [line 51] MASHCHUHA GAVREI L'GAVRA - the scholars drew the scholar over [to their opinion]; i.e. (a) the students of Rebbi Shimon ben Yochai drew Rebbi Yishmael over to their opinion, quoting Rebbi Yishmael's opinion as "Zeh v'Zeh Yesod Deromis" (RASHI); (b) Rebbi Shimos ben Yochai (who is referred to as "scholars," since he is mentioned along with his father) drew Rebbi Yishmael over to his opinion (RABBEINU ELYAMIM); (c) according to the Girsa "Zeh v'Zeh Yesod *Ma'aravi*," the students of Rebbi Yishmael drew Rebbi Shimon ben Yochai over to their opinion (RABEINU CHANANEL)
