The animal which is brought as a chattas must be standing in the north of the courtyard when it is slaughtered.
Nevertheless, the person himself who is performing the slaughter does not have to be standing in the north. He can be standing nearby and reach over into the north where the animal is standing. The Gemara searches to find the source from where we learn this halacha. At one point, the Gemara attributes this halacha to the verse (Vayikra 4:24) which is written regarding the goat of the King.
We explore the galactic and mythical implications of the sacred directions from where to stand facing by a Korean to where to direction one’s bed.
