Until the Tabernacle was erected, bamos were permitted and the service was [performed] by the firstborns. When the Tabernacle was erected, the bamos became forbidden and the service was [performed] by Kohanim. The most holy offerings were eaten within the curtains; the offerings of lesser holiness throughout the Israelite camp.

They came to Gilgal and the bamos were permitted. The most holy offerings were eaten within the curtains; the offerings of lesser holiness [could be eaten] anywhere.

[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.
