0:00 There is what I just learned now in the Daf Yomi, Tractate Zevachim, page 55: it is written there that, so that eating kodshei kodashim could be permitted in the rear part of the Azarah, behind the Heichal, and also to slaughter kodashim kalim there, So there was a hatch there, there was a hatch there that was open from the outside - granted, there was a chamber, there was a hatch, an opening between the chamber, and also an opening into the Holy of Holies, into there.

0:29 From there, there is also the place where they would go in to make repairs, from above - yes. From above they would go down by chains, go down without seeing the Holy of Holies. The question there too - the question there too is whether their light was drawn from above to below. So it could be - that's it, I wrote down for myself here a few options for the lighting. In Zevachim, page 61, in Rashi - on page 61, in Rashi, it is written about the fire that came down, on the verse - from Heaven upon it: "A constant fire shall burn upon the altar; it shall not go out" - the fire that was there in the days of Moshe Rabbeinu, until Shlomo.

0:59 About 486 years this fire was there. That is, it was a fire upon the altar, a spiritual fire. So perhaps one can also say from here that there was some kind of fire, or something. Ah, that's it, that is what I said. A strong proof for your honor. What Rabbi Nosson of Breslov says. Yes, yes. That it is a source, he says there, to light up the darkness.

1:26 The Even HaShesiyah, in the sense of a precious stone, he says. Yes, A few things came out for me, really beautiful ones. Did you bring what I told your honor about Yoma, page 34, with the Chamber of Beis HaParvah - the sorcerer? Isn't that so? After all, he dug, right? He dug in order to reach the Holy of Holies. Yes. So I said: if there had been then, in his generation, in his time, even a rumor... That, your honor skipped over a little. Where, one moment? The sun, here.

1:59 The orb of the sun. The orb of the sun - no, about the Luchos it is written that they were hewn from the orb of the sun, and the Luchos were there, and he also says about the Luchos that the Even HaShesiyah was like the Luchos. So it really shines - from the orb of the sun, it is already understood that it... eh? Right. Since it is from the sun, it shines. That means it could even be that the light itself came out of the Luchos. Yes. Because it was sapphire, which was a precious stone. Sapphire, yes.

2:32 This, now, is the last thing that I saw, in Zevachim, in Zevachim, page 55, where the Gemara says to make the Azarah fit for eating kodshei kodashim, and for kodashim kalim. And also what I told the Rav, about his having dug in order to see the Holy of Holies: seemingly he would not have dug if he had known that there is darkness.
