רַ֣ק הָעָ֔ם מְזַבְּחִ֖ים בַּבָּמ֑וֹת כִּ֠י לֹא־נִבְנָ֥ה בַ֙יִת֙ לְשֵׁ֣ם יְהוָ֔ה עַ֖ד הַיָּמִ֥ים הָהֵֽם׃ (פ)
Hanya saja rakyat masih mempersembahkan kurban di bukit-bukit pengurbanan, karena sampai masa itu belum dibangun rumah bagi nama Yang Mahakekal.
English Explanation of Mishnah Megillah
Introduction Before the Temple in Jerusalem was built it was permitted to build personal altars and offer sacrifices on them. At this time period there were also communal altars. The personal altars are called “small altars” whereas the communal altars are called “great altars”. The “great altar” is referred to in I Kings 3:2, “The people, however, continued to offer sacrifices at altars, because up to that time no house had been built for the name of the Lord. The king went up to Gibeon to sacrifice there, for that was the great altar…” Our mishnah outlines the differences that existed in this time period between great, communal altars and personal, small altars.
