The phrase Ama Traksin (lit., the "cubit of separation") refers to the wall and the curtain that separated between the Kodesh and the Holy of Holies. In the First Temple, a wall one cubit thick and thirty cubits high separated between the two areas. * This wall had an opening and a curtain was hung upon it. The two carrying poles of the Ark protruded on the other side of the curtain. On the festivals, the curtain at the entrance to the Ulam was opened so that the pilgrims could see the two united Cherubim that decorated the Ama Traksin wall.
