Yoma 16: The Four Corners of the Beit HaMikdash

The layout of 4 different chambers and their functions in the Ezrat Nashim of the Beit HaMikdash. And the implications of the complicated functioning in the Temple. Also, on how the Mishnah came to be, including a sense that some tractates follow the rulings of given scholars. But note: by design, the text is an assortment of divergent opinions, without trauma. Plus, the terracing on the terrain outside of the Beit HaMikdash, reflecting on the sanctity of the Temple and the extent to which it was extended beyond the borders (and didn't) of the building.
