The Decorative Lintels: Dimensions
The decorative lintels were made of five
beams of oak wood The bottom beam was wider than the width of the Ulam Entrance by
two cubits - a cubit on either side - so that its length was twenty two cubits. The beam above it was bigger than this bottom
beam by two cubits, and each ascending beam was in turn bigger than the previous one by two cubits. The top beam was thus
thirty cubits. * (Source: Midot
