תּלמוד אויף דברים 12:18

“One may start a war of choice only by the court of 71 [judges]²⁸⁷This probably should be deleted.. ²⁸⁸The following four paragraphs do not refer to the quote of the Mishnah but are a commentary to Mishnah Ševuot 2:2: “One only adds to the city and the Temple courtyards by king and prophet, Urim and Tummim, the Synhedrion of 71 members, two thanksgiving sacrifices, and song.” Only the walled part of the city of Jerusalem counts as “before the Eternal”, where family sacrifices may be consumed (Deut.12:18,14:23); the suburbs are “countryside” which does not count for pilgrimage and sacrifice. Since there were no Urim and Tummim in the Second Temple, Pharisees did not consume sacrifices in the parts of Jerusalem which were added in Hasmonean and later times (Note 306).
In Ševuot, only beginning and end of the discussion here are quoted as a reference. Rebbi Jehudah says, as at the start: ²⁸⁹2S. 24:19, speaking of David going to buy the Temple area.David ascended following Gad’s word, that is king and prophet. ²⁹⁰2Chr. 3:1. The verse is misquoted in several places.Solomon started to build the Temple of the Eternal, Israel’s God, on Mount Moriah where He had appeared to him, there are Urim and Tummim. ²⁹⁰2Chr. 3:1. The verse is misquoted in several places.To his father David, this is the Synhedrion, ²⁹¹Deut. 32:7. The persons one asks to get definitive answers to all questions of religion are the members of the High Court of 71 members.ask your father and he will tell you, your Elders and they will speak to you. Song, after them went Hoshaia and half the officers of Judea²⁹²Neh. 12:32. This refers to the members of the Synhedrion walking behind the thanksgiving sacrifices (Ševuot 15b); the musical part of the ceremony is described in verses 41,42.. Thanksgiving sacrifices, I put up two large thanksgiving sacrifices being in procession going to their right on the wall going to the dung gate²⁹³Neh. 12:31.. Rebbi Samuel bar Yudan said, what is written, walking? No, being in procession, only being taken by others²⁹⁴In his opinion, the sacrifices were not walked on the wall but were carried. In the opinion of the Babli, Ševuot 15a and Tosephta Sanhedrin 3:4, not the animals were carried but the leavened bread required for a thanksgiving sacrifice (Lev. 7:13). It is possible that this is meant here..

Rebbi Assi said in the name of Rebbi Yochanon From when does one become liable [for eating unredeemed] maaser sheni]? From when it sees the face of the wall. What is the reason? That the Torah says (Deuteronomy 12,18) "Before Hashem your God you should eat" And it's written, (Deuteronomy 12,17) "You may not proceed to eat in your gates", we derive that anywhere where we can read "Before Hashem your God you should eat" [i.e. where it entered Jerusalem] we also read "You may not proceed to eat in your gates" and anywhere where we can not read "Before Hashem your God you should eat" [i.e. where it never entered Jerusalem] we also do not read "You may not proceed to eat in your gates".
