[When] they came to Shiloh, the bamos were forbidden. There was no roof there, but a stone house beneath and a canopy of cloth above; and it was [the] ‘‘resting place.’’ The most holy offerings were eaten within the curtains; [and] the offerings of lesser holiness and maaser sheni, anywhere within sight.

[When] they came to Nov and to Giveon, the bamos were [again] permitted. The most holy offerings were eaten within the curtains; [and] offerings of lesser holiness in all the cities of Israel.

[When] they came to Jerusalem, the bamos were [again] forbidden, and were never again permitted; and it was [the] inheritance. The most holy offerings are eaten within the curtains; [and] the offerings of lesser holiness and maaser sheni, within the wall [surrounding Jerusalem].

All offerings which were consecrated during a period of bamah prohibition, and which were offered outside during a period of bamah prohibition, are subject to a positive commandment and a negative commandment, and one incurs kares on their account. [If] they were consecrated during a period of bamah permissibility, but they were offered up during a period of bamah prohibition, they are subject to a positive commandment and a negative commandment, but one does not incur kares on their account. [If] one consecrated them during a period of bamah prohibition, but offered them during a period of bamah permissibility, they are subject to a positive commandment, but are not subject to a negative commandment.
