Królów I 17:20 Halacha: Mishneh Torah, The Chosen Temple

וַיִּקְרָ֥א אֶל־יְהוָ֖ה וַיֹּאמַ֑ר יְהוָ֣ה אֱלֹהָ֔י הֲ֠גַם עַל־הָאַלְמָנָ֞ה אֲשֶׁר־אֲנִ֨י מִתְגּוֹרֵ֥ר עִמָּ֛הּ הֲרֵע֖וֹתָ לְהָמִ֥ית אֶת־בְּנָֽהּ׃

Poczem wezwał Wiekuistego, i rzekł: Wiekuisty, Boże mój, czyżbyś nawet i tej wdowie, u której przebywam, tak źle uczynił, abyś zabił syna jej? 

Mishneh Torah, The Chosen Temple

...In the first temple, there was a wall dividing between the Holy and the Holy of Holies, a cubit in thickness. And when they built the second temple they were unsure if the thickness of the wall was included in the measurement of the Holy or the measurement of the Holy of Holies, therefore they made the Holy of Holies twenty full cubits and they made the Holy forty full cubits and they left an extra cubit between the Holy and the Holy of Holies. And they didn't build the wall in the second temple, but they made two curtains: one on the side of the Holy of Holies and one on the side of the Holy. And between them was a cubit, corresponding to the thickness of the wall that had been in the first [temple]. But in the first temple there was only one curtain, as it is said, "And the curtain divided them..." (Exodus 26:33)
