At certain points in Jewish history, private altars (Bamot) were permitted to use. I would like to know what requirements, if any, there were for something to be considered a Bamah. For instance, did it have to be a certain size, made out of certain materials, designated as a private altar, located in a certain direction, etc. In effect, if there were a section in the code of Jewish law on private altars, what would it contain?

Isn't a Bamah essentially an unregulated altar? – shmosel Jan 11 '24 at 20:09

@rikitikitembo any structure intended to be used for sacrifices, I'd imagine. – Esther Jan 23 '24 at 16:38
