I saw this also in the Shiurim from R' Meir Levi and this I saw also in the Shiurim from R' Meshulam Dovid Halevi. And that is if you take a look at the Targum Yonathan on the possuk "Vayiven Noach mizbeach l'Hashem." Says the Targum Yonathan, what was this mizbeach that Noach built? "Hu mad b'cho." This is the mizbeach that Bnei Adam that Adam Harishon built "b'idon d'itrid miganza d'Eden." When he was pushed out of Gan Eden. "V'yakriv aloi korbana." And he brought a korban on it. "V'chanach sumaya d'tu vana." And when the water of the mabul came, it said it got ruined. "U'van Noach." Noach went and he rebuilt it. He was m'shabitz it. He fixed it up and he went ahead and he and he brought a korban. It's m'vuar in the Targum Yonathan that this mizbeach that Noach built was not a mizbeach that he built from scratch. But rather he took a mizbeach that Adam Harishon had already built and he went and he built on it. He fixed it up. He made it perfect. It was a mizbeach sh'nifkam and now he went and he was m'taken it. But it wasn't a new mizbeach that he had built from scratch. So R' Meir Levi and R' Meshulam Dovid Halevi both said that they heard from their father the Brisker Rav that the Brisker Rav said that "What's a chat?" Sounds like this was like important. Like what's the significance of it? And why couldn't Noach just build his own mizbeach? And maybe that's what the possuk means when it says "Vayiven Noach mizbeach l'Hashem." That he went ahead and he built a mizbeach. Targum Onkelos says "U'van Noach mad b'cha kodam Hashem." Make it tasty. That's not what it was. Where's this inyan coming from that Noach didn't build his own mizbeach from scratch? But rather he took a mizbeach that had already existed, the mizbeach from Adam Harishon no less, and he went ahead and he and he built on it. Said the Brisker Rav that the Rambam there in the beginning of the second paragraph Hilchos Beis HaBechira, when he talks about the Makom HaMizbeach, so he talks about how precise the Makom HaMizbeach had to be. The way he opens Halacha Aleph, "HaMakom HaMizbeach m'kuyam m'chuvav b'yoser." The mizbeach's place is very precise. "D'ein m'shanim oso mim'komo lo alav." And you're never allowed to change it. Skipping to Halakha Daled. When the Yidden came from Bavel back there to Yisrael. So, there were three Nevi'im that came along with them. He was made with the Makom Hamizbei'ach was. The Echad He'elam Al Nidpas On the measurements on the Mizbei'ach. But, the Rambam says that when the Yidden came back to Eretz Yisrael, they needed a Navi to tell them where the Makom Hamizbei'ach was. Said the Brisker Rav, to build a Mizbei'ach and to get the Makom Hamizbei'ach right is something that had to be done Al Pi Navi. If it wasn't done Al Pi Navi, you can't go ahead and do it. Noach never had a Nevu'ah as far as we know where he was told "This is where the Makom Hamizbei'ach is and this is the place that you should go ahead and you should bring your Korbanos." So, how would Noach have known where the Makom Hamizbei'ach was? Said the Brisker Rav, that's why it had to be that the place that Noach brought his Korbanos was a place that already had an existing Mizbei'ach. And it was really done Al Pi the Nevu'ah from Adam HaRishon who knew where the Makom Hamizbei'ach was when he built his Mizbei'ach. And that's how Noach was able to be Mechabed that's how Noach was able to know where to build a Mizbei'ach. But, it's not Pungent that Noach is going ahead and he's renovating the Mizbei'ach because Noach's Mizbei'ach is in the Makom Hamikdash and the only way you're going to get it right is Al Pi Navi. And as far as we know, Noach never had a Zos Nevu'ah. And it's for that reason it's for that reason said Maran HaGriz that even Noach's Mizbei'ach says Targum Yonasan means that he went ahead and he just fixed up the Mizbei'ach that was already made by Adam HaRishon. This is what the Roshei Yeshivos said over in the name of Maran HaGriz. But, I think that it could be it's very very Meduyak in the Rambam. True, this is the thing that always bothered me and it could be this is the Pshat. If you go through the Rambam again in Halakha Bais and read it carefully. U'mesirus Bi'Yad Akav. think we've read this together in the Kabbalah a of times, right? Who miss Harris be a doctor? She mocking She bought a by David who is loyal to have his back the going around now. Who am mocking She bought a by Abraham and his back for all kind of stuff. Carefully. The place that David and built the mizbeach which was in the going of Aravnah Aravnah are you busy, right? That was the place that Abraham Avinu built his mizbeach and that's where he was mocking yourself. And that's the place She bought a by Noah She kitchen yachts in the table. That's the place that Noah built his mizbeach when he left the table. The who am is bear She could well have kind of have a and that's the mizbeach with kind of have a bought their cabanas. Oh boy, he could well have a kitchen in the garden. The rabbit doesn't say it's the who am mocking She bought a all of kind of have a who am mocking She bought a all of kind of have a the who am is bear what's the who am is bear? It's going back to what he said one line earlier. The who am mocking She bought a by Noah kitchen yachts in the table. The who am is bear well, it's not the same as bear. It's the mizbeach of kind of have a kind of have a had his mizbeach or Noah had his mizbeach. The carrots is by even Noah mizbeach is is just building on the mizbeach already existed. The who am is bear the same as bear She could well have kind of have a boy he could well have a mission. It's the same kind of rubbish I think in this rather that we've seen so many times I thought but I thought but I could well have there's a great promise to this word from our neighbors.
