וַיִּ֤בֶן אֶת־היצוע [הַיָּצִ֙יעַ֙] עַל־כָּל־הַבַּ֔יִת חָמֵ֥שׁ אַמּ֖וֹת קֽוֹמָת֑וֹ וַיֶּאֱחֹ֥ז אֶת־הַבַּ֖יִת בַּעֲצֵ֥י אֲרָזִֽים׃ (פ)
Ia membangun bangunan samping itu menempel pada seluruh Rumah itu, tiap tingkatnya tingginya lima hasta, dan ia mengatapi Rumah itu dengan balok-balok kayu aras.
The Third Beit HaMikdash
Rashi equates the side-chambers described here with the balconies that existed in the Beis HaMikdash built by King Shlomoh, as will be explained below. Concerning the balconies, it is written:26I Melachim 6:10. “And he built the balcony… it was five cubits high.” Similarly, Rashi comments on the term הגזרה,27Yechezkel 41:12. “Targum Yonason translates it as בְּצוּרְתָא, ‘the tall structure.’ I say that this term refers to the tall edifice of the structure. The low cells around it are called בנין, ‘the building.’ ” Thus, it is obvious that Rashi does not think that the side-chambers were the same height as the main structure of the Beis HaMikdash.
