באו לגלגל. ולא היה שם בית אלא יריעות המשכן של מדבר:
הותרו הבמות. דרחמנא אמר אשר ישחט במחנה וכו׳ ואל פתח אוהל מועד לא הביאו, פרט לגלגל שלא היה שם מחנה, שכבר בטלו המחנות והתחילו להיות נפוצים בכל הארץ. ומהאי טעמא נמי קדשים קלים נאכלין בכל מקום, שהרי לא היה שם מחנה כמו שהיה במדבר:
Mishnah 2
Mishnayos Zevachim Perek 14 Mishnah 6
זבחים פרק י"ד משנה ו׳
Bartenura
באו לשילה נאסרו הבמות – as it is written (Deuteronomy 12:9): “because you have not yet come to the allotted haven,” it follows that when they would come to the מנוחה/the haven,” the improvised altars would be prohibited. But this “haven” is Shiloh, where there was there a haven/rest, where they did not travel from one place to another like in the wilderness (i.e., during the forty-years of wandering).
בית של אבנים מלמטה ויריעות מלמעלה – as it is written (I Samuel 1:24): “she (i.e., Hannah) brought him (i.e., Samuel) to the House of the LORD at Shiloh,” so we see that it was a “house”, and it is written (Psalm 78:60): “He forsook the tabernacle of Shiloh, [the tent He had set among men,]” so we see that it was of curtains, teaching that there was no ceiling, but rather a house of stones from below and curtains from above.
ומעשר שני בכל הרואה – but above, it (i.e., the Mishnah in Mishnayot 4-5 of this chapter) does not teach about the Second Tithe, because all fourteen years that they were in Gilgal, they (i.e., the Israelites) were not obligated in the tithes until they conquered and divided up [the land]. And [the words] בכל הרואה/within sight of [Shiloh] , that is in every place where they see Shiloh from there, as Scripture states (Deuteronomy 12:13): “Take care not to sacrifice your burnt offerings in any place you like” (in Hebrew – בכל – מקום אשר תראה ). In every place that you can see, you don’t bring them up, but you do eat [of them] in every place you can see.
באו לשילה נאסרו הבמות. דכתיב (דברים י״ב) כי לא באתם עד עתה אל המנוחה, מכלל דכשיבואו אל המנוחה, הבמות אסורות. ומנוחה זו שילה שהיתה שם מנוחה שלא היו נוסעים ממקום למקום כמו במדבר:
בית של אבנים מלמטה ויריעות מלמעלה. דכתיב (שמואל א׳ א׳) ותביאהו בית ה׳ שילה, אלמא בית היה, וכתיב (תהלים ע״ח) ויטוש משכן שילה, אלמא של יריעות היה, מלמד שלא היה שם תקרה אלא בית של אבנים מלמטה ויריעות מלמעלה:
ומעשר שני בכל הרואה. ולעיל לא תני מעשר שני, לפי שכל י״ד שנה שהיו בגלגל לא נתחייבו במעשרות עד שכבשו וחלקו. ובכל הרואה היינו בכל מקום שרואין משם שילה, דאמר קרא (דברים י״ב) השמר לך פן תעלה עולותיך בכל מקום אשר תראה, בכל מקום אשר תראה אי אתה מעלה, אבל אתה אוכל בכל מקום שאתה רואה:

In 1934, the Kozoglover Gaon, Rav Aryeh Tzvi Frommer, who took over from Rav Meir Shapiro (the founder of Daf Yomi) as the head of Yeshivas Chachmei Lublin, initiated the Mishnah Yomi cycle, focusing on Seder Zeraim and Seder Taharos. After World War II, in 1947, Rav Yonah Sztencl, a disciple of Rav Frommer, expanded the program, advocating for a comprehensive study of Shishah Sidrei Mishnah. The idea of studying two Mishnayos daily gained the support of figures like Rav Isser Zalman Meltzer, the Tchebiner Rov, and the Gerer Rebbe, marking the formal inception of Mishnah Yomi.

באו לגלגל – there wasn’t a Temple there, but rather just the curtains/tent-cloth of the Tabernacle of the wilderness.
הותרו הבמות – for the All-Merciful stated (Leviticus 17:3-4): [if anyone of the house of Israel] slaughters [an ox or sheep or goat] in the camp,…and does not bring it to the entrance of the Tent of Meeting,” excluding Gilgal, where there was [no longer] a camp there, for the camps were abolished and the people began to be scattered throughout the Land [of Canaan/Israel]. And for this reason, also, lesser Holy Things are eaten in any place, for there wasn’t there a camp like there was in the wilderness.
