The Projecting Piece of the Mizbeach

    The Gemara in Zevachim (54a), when discussing that there was no yesod on the south and east sides of the Mizbeach, asks a question. If there was no yesod under part of the Mizbeach, how could a bird Olah be offered there? The bird Olah's blood must be sprinkled on the upper half of the mizbeach, and it was preferably offered on the southeast corner of the Mizbeach, but since there is no yesod, the blood is just going to go on the floor? The Gemara answers, that there was a piece sticking out of the Mizbeach in that corner, for the blood to go on. (This is how Rashi explains the Gemara. Rabbeinu Tam explains it differently.) Based on this Gemara, I have added this Piece to the Mizbeach.
