1) LISHKAS HATELAIM - R. ELAZAR B. YA'AKOV?
(a) We find R. Elazar b. Ya'akov in the Mishnah in Midos.
1. Three of the four Lishakos are identified.
2. R. Elazar b. Ya'akov said that he did not recall the
use of the fourth Lishkah, thus indicating that he
was the author of the Mishnah.
3. Aba Shaul identified the 'unidentified' Lishkah.
(b) There is another indication that the Mishnah in Midos is
R. Elazar b. Ya'akov.
1. All the walls were tall except for the Eastern wall.
2. This was to allow the Kohen burning the Parah to see
through the opening to the Heichal during the
Haza'ah.
3. All the gates were 20 Amos tall, with wall above
them.
4. By calculating the elevations of each level, we can
see that the Eastern wall, if left at its 20-plus
Amos of height, would block his view, and was thus
shortened.
5. This is only true if the measurements are being
given by R. Elazar b. Ya'akov, not the Rabanan.
(c) R. Ada b. Ahavah entertains the possibility that the
measurements were those of R. Yehudah.
16b--------------------16b
1. R. Yehudah had taught the positioning of the
Mizbe'ach.
2. The Mishnah in Midos teaches the overall dimensions
of the Azarah (187 x 135 Amos).
3. If the Mishnah in Midos were R. Yehudah, the
Mizbe'ach would not be in the middle, but slightly
to the South.
(d) The difficulty involved in such a possibility establishes
the Mishnah as the teaching of R. Elazar b. Ya'akov.
