ייִדישער מחשבֿה אויף יחזקאל 41:25

Since, as indicated by the verse, the Sanctuary building will be high, thick beams will be placed between the wall of the Sanctuary and the wall of the Ulam to stabilize them. Thus, it is written,¹⁰Yechezkel 41:25. “There was a thick wooden beam (וְעָב עֵץ) projecting toward the front of the Ulam from the outside.” On that verse, Rashi comments, “Cedar beams were fixed between the wall of the Sanctuary and the wall of the Ulam so that it will not buckle, as stated in Tractate Middos.”¹¹See Middos 3:8 and Rambam’s commentary.

“Engraved on them, on the doors of the Sanctuary, were cherubs and date-palms as they were engraved on the walls,”²¹Yechezkel 41:25. as will be explained in depth in sec. 54.
