Commentary for I Kings 7:7
וְאוּלָ֤ם הַכִּסֵּא֙ אֲשֶׁ֣ר יִשְׁפָּט־שָׁ֔ם אֻלָ֥ם הַמִּשְׁפָּ֖ט עָשָׂ֑ה וְסָפ֣וּן בָּאֶ֔רֶז מֵהַקַּרְקַ֖ע עַד־הַקַּרְקָֽע׃
And he made the porch of the throne where he might judge, even the porch of judgment; and it was covered with cedar from floor to floor.
Rashi on I Kings
And an entrance hall for the throne. [Targum Yonoson rendered,] “And an entrance hall to set the throne of judgment to judge there, he made a vestibule [פרוסדא] for the house of judgment.”11According to Rashi who quotes Targum Yonoson, there were two areas set aside, one for the throne of judgment and another for the house of judgment. Alternatively, they are one and the same.—Radak. פרוסדא12In Mishnayos Avos 4:21 “פרוזדור” is defined as “vestibule.” is an expression meaning “vestibule.”
