Why is it called "ha'Chatzer ha'Penimis"?
Rashi: It was inside the Ezras Nashim.
Radak: It was inside Har ha'Bayis.
Why does it say "Sheloshah Turei Gazis"?
Malbim: It was not covered with gold or cedar wood. There was only the outer building, three rows of cut rock.
What is "Tur Kerusos Arazim"?
Rashi: It is a row of carved out cedars in the wall. Gra - it is to strengthen the wall, for it had no roof, unlike the walls of the Heichal and Kodesh ha'Kodoshim.
