The Mikdash: Dimensions
The height of the Mikdash was one hundred cubits
from the floor of the Court until the iron piling on the roof. Its length from the Ulam entrance until the end of the Holy of Holies was also one hundred cubits. The Ulam was
wider than the Heichal by fifteen cubits on both sides, and this additional width created an open space called the Knives Dispensary. The total length of the Ulam (north-south) was one hundred cubits,
and its width was eleven cubits. * (Sources: Midot 4,
6-7). |
