19)[line 4]"ויבן שם גדעון מזבח לה' ויקרא לו ה' שלום [עד היום הזה עודנו בעפרת אבי העזרי]""VA'YIVEN SHAM GIDON MIZBE'ACH LA'SH-M VA'YIKRA LO HASH-M SHALOM [AD HA'YOM HA'ZEH ODENU B'OFRAS AVI HA'EZRI]" - "And Gid'on built there a Mizbe'ach to HaSh-m, and he called it 'HaSh-m Shalom'; [until this day it is still to be found there in Ofras Avi ha'Ezri.]" (Shoftim 6:24) (GID'ON BUILDS A MIZBE'ACH)
(a)The Jewish people were suffering under the heavy yoke of the Midyanim. One day, Gid'on, the Shofet, was beating wheat in the winepress. An angel appeared to him and sat underneath the oak-tree in Ofrah that belonged to his father, Yo'ash, from the family of Aviezer and the tribe of Menasheh. The angel informed him that HaSh-m was with him. When he asked that if HaSh-m was with Yisrael then why were they subjugated by their oppressors, the angel replied that it was precisely on account of his defense of the people that he had been chosen to lead them to victory against the Midyanim, and that is why he would succeed.
(b)Gid'on then pointed out that the section of the family to which his father belonged was the least important in the wider family, and that he was the youngest of his father's children. How, he asked, could he possibly succeed in such an important mission? When HaSh-m replied that He would be with him and that he would defeat Midyan with ease, he asked HaSh-m for a sign that He was speaking with him.
(c)Asking HaSh-m to wait while he brought his gift, he returned a short while later with a kid-goat and an Eifah of Matzah-flour. He prepared the goat, placed the flesh in a basket and the gravy in a pot, and he placed everything under a local oak-tree. The angel instructed him to place the goat and the Matzos on a certain rock and to pour out the gravy.
(d)The angel then stretched out the edge of the staff he was holding and touched the meat and the Matzos, when fire emerged from the rock and consumed them. The angel himself disappeared. Realizing that he had just seen an angel face to face, Gid'on (like Mano'ach, Shimshon's father) was gripped with fear that he was about to die. HaSh-m assured him that all would be well and that he would not die. Gid'on built a Mizbe'ach there.
(e)Gid'on went on to defeat the Midyanim decisively.

23)[line 28]מתנתא דתוראMATENASA D'TORA - the priestly gifts given from an ox (ZERO'A L'CHAYAYIM V'KEIVAH)
(a)Whenever a person slaughters an ox, sheep, or goat (which is not Kodshim), he must give to a Kohen the Zero'a, Lechayayim, and Keivah (the foreleg, the [lower] jaw, and the maw [the last of a cow's four stomachs]. (Devarim 18:3)
(b)The ZERO'A consists of the two upper limbs of the right foreleg, from the knee to the top of the shoulder blade.
(c)The LECHAYAYIM consist of the lower jaw, from the joint where it is attached to the upper jaw to the thyroid cartilage, including the tongue.
(d)The KEIVAH consists of the maw together with its Chelev, but the custom of the Kohanim is to let the owner of the animal keep the Chelev.
