**"וַיְבִאֵנִי** אֶל אֻלָם הַבַּיִת וְגוֹ' וּבַמַּעֲלוֹת אֲשֶׁר יַעֲלוּ אֵלָיו" (יחזקאל מ, מח-מט). שָׁנִינוּ גַּבֵּי בַּיִת שֵׁנִי (מדות פ"ג מ"ו): בֵּין הָאוּלָם וְלַמִּזְבֵּחַ כ"ב אַמָּה, וּשְׁתֵּים עֶשְׂרֵה מַעֲלוֹת הָיוּ שָׁם, רוּם מַעֲלָה חֲצִי אַמָּה וְשִׁלְּחָהּ אַמָּה וְכוּ'. וְלָרַמְבַּ"ם גָּרְסִינַן חֲצִי אַמָּה כְּמוֹ שֶׁכָּתַבְנוּ סִימָן ב'. וְהִתְבָּאֵר בְּסִימָן כ"ו-כ"ז, כִּי בְּבֵית שֶׁלֶּעָתִיד מִן הַנִּרְאֶה שֶׁיֵּשׁ בֵּין הָאוּלָם לַמִּזְבֵּחַ ל"ד אַמָּה, עַיֵּן עָלָיו.

**The Third Beis HaMikdash, trans. by Rabbi Eliyahu Touger, Moznaim Pub Corp. 2016:**
“And He brought me to the Vestibule (the *Ulam*) of the House…. There were steps by which one ascended to it.”¹ 40:48-49. With regard to the Second *Beis HaMikdash*, the *Mishnah* teaches:² 3:6. “There were 22 cubits between the *Ulam* and the Altar and there were twelve steps there. Each step was 1/2 a cubit high and one cubit wide.” *Rambam* had a different version of the text which stated that the steps were also 1/2 a cubit wide, as stated in sec. 2. As explained in sec. 26-27, it appears that in the Future *Beis HaMikdash* there will be 34 cubits between the *Ulam* and the Altar. Consult that section.
