וְהָאוּלָ֡ם אֲשֶׁר֩ עַל־פְּנֵ֨י הָאֹ֜רֶךְ עַל־פְּנֵ֤י רֹֽחַב־הַבַּ֙יִת֙ אַמּ֣וֹת עֶשְׂרִ֔ים וְהַגֹּ֖בַהּ מֵאָ֣ה וְעֶשְׂרִ֑ים וַיְצַפֵּ֥הוּ מִפְּנִ֖ימָה זָהָ֥ב טָהֽוֹר׃
And the porch that was before [the house], the length of it, according to the breadth of the house, was twenty cubits, and the height a hundred and twenty; and he overlaid it within with pure gold.
The Third Beit HaMikdash
“I saw the height of the House, all around.”3Ibid.:8. The exact height is not stated in the verse. Tractate Middos states4See Middos 4:6. that the Second Beis HaMikdash was 100 cubits high and delineates the details of this height. Nevertheless, the Future Beis HaMikdash may not be this height, for the Beis HaMikdash built by King Shlomoh was 20 cubits taller than the Second Beis HaMikdash, as Scripture states:5II Chronicles 3:4. “It was 120 cubits high.”
