Kaisipang Hudyo sa 1 Mga Hari 6:5: The Third Beit HaMikdash

The mishnah states:¹⁹Middos 4:4. “The lowest level was five [cubits] wide, the surface above it was six, as indicated by the verse,²⁰I Melachim 6:6. ‘for he made recesses in the House all around.’ ” Rambam and Rav Ovadiah of Bartenura interpret this as meaning that an indentation measuring one cubit was made on all three levels. However, they maintain that this mishnah and this verse are referring to a structure outside the wall of the winding stairwell. On the outside of that wall, there were three balconies, one on top of the other. This structure was called a yetzia in the Beis HaMikdash built by King Shlomoh.²¹See I Melachim 6:5, 10.
