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.

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.
