In what case is a person obligated for an outside offering according to the beginning of the chapter?
The obligation requires an altar specifically and also intention for the sake of God; a rock or intention for a person does not obligate.
Question 2
Why is the pouring of leftover blood outside generally exempt?
Pouring the leftovers is a complementary stage that does not prevent, and therefore is not defined as a binding act of offering.
Question 3
What is the ruling regarding a meal offering that was not measured and was completely offered outside?
As long as the handful has not been separated, there is no distinct unit of offering that obligates outside offerings.
Question 4
What is the novelty in laws 8-9 regarding the deficiency of the offering?
If there was a deficiency inside—exempt; if it came out complete and was deficient outside—the ruling is uncertain and therefore there are no lashes.
Question 5
How does law 15 reconcile with the prohibition of offering outside in this time?
Maimonides establishes that the first sanctity sanctified for the future, and therefore offerings suitable for the inner altar remain valid and the prohibition outside is in effect.
