What is "Kir ha'Bayis"?
Rashi: It is the western wall [Vilna Gaon ? of Kodesh ha'Kodoshim].
Radak: It is the wall of the Heichal.
Malbim: It is the northern and southern walls of the Heichal and Kodesh ha'Kodoshim. Also the western wall of the Kodesh ha'Kodoshim was six Amos.
What is "Tzela"?
Rashi: It is a cell in back [of Kodesh ha'Kodoshim. Vilna Gaon ? there were cells also to the north and south of Kodesh ha'Kodoshim 1 .] Its interior was four Amos. In Bayis Sheni, it was six Amos. You are forced to say that here discusses the future Bayis, for in Bayis Sheni no wall divided [the Heichal from] Kodesh ha'Kodoshim.
Radak and Rashi (Melachim I, 6:5, citing Bava Basra 61a): Yatzi'a, Tzela and Tei are the same 2 . However, here the bottom cell is four Amos; in Bayis Rishon it was five. They were on three walls of the Bayis ? east, north and south. This is "Saviv".
Radak citing Targum Yonasan: Mechitzta (the wall).
Malbim: There were double cells around the Bayis. Here discusses the cell near Kir ha'Bayis. It is called Tzela Stam. It was four wide all around. We find below that in the western wall, the Tzela was absorbed in the wall, which was six Amos, and the interior was four Amos of space in the wall. There was one Amah of wall on each side, until the height of the cells ? above that, there was no cavity.
Ohr Eliyahu: He holds that they were also to the north and south of the Heichal; often, the Gra says 'Kodesh ha'Kodoshim', and this includes the Heichal.
Malbim (Melachim I, 6:5): They are called Tei'im only in Yechezkel's Nevu'ah.
