Or does making the kodesh 40 Amos means they had to make the whole building shorter in order not to fall, similar to the amah traksin issue?

The Tanna of the Mishnah made the simple observation that the Tamid had to be slaughtered in certain rings in order to fulfill the Biblical requirement of being "opposite the sun" and from this observation we may work back to deduce the shape of the Heichal.Yoav Elanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03859719994853628817noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-520998016026184160.post-74299975705445969262014-09-21T20:18:47.654-04:002014-09-21T20:18:47.654-04:00I think it difficult to base the structure of the ...I think it difficult to base the structure of the Heichal on the location of the rings for the simple fact that the rings were added by R.
