וְהַהֵיכָל מֵאָה עַל מֵאָה, עַל רוּם מֵאָה. הָאֹטֶם שֵׁשׁ אַמּוֹת, וְגָבְהוֹ אַרְבָּעִים אַמָּה, אַמָּה כִּיּוּר, וְאַמָּתַיִם בֵּית דִּלְפָה, וְאַמָּה תִּקְרָה, וְאַמָּה מַעֲזִיבָה, וְגֹבַהּ שֶׁל עֲלִיָּה אַרְבָּעִים אַמָּה, וְאַמָּה כִּיּוּר, וְאַמָּתַיִם בֵּית דִּלְפָה, וְאַמָּה תִּקְרָה, וְאַמָּה מַעֲזִיבָה, וְשָׁלֹשׁ אַמּוֹת מַעֲקֶה, וְאַמָּה כָּלֵה עוֹרֵב, רַבִּי יְהוּדָה אוֹמֵר, לֹא הָיָה כָלֵה עוֹרֵב עוֹלֶה מִן הַמִּדָּה, אֶלָּא אַרְבַּע אַמּוֹת הָיָה מַעֲקֶה:

The Sanctuary was a hundred [<i>amot</i>] by a hundred [<i>amot</i>] with a height of a hundred [<i>amot</i>]: The base was six <i>amot</i>, and the height [of the lowest story of the Sanctuary reached an height of] forty <i>amot</i>, one <i>amah</i> for its ornamentation, two <i>amot</i> for the supporting [beams], one <i>amah</i> for the ceiling, and one <i>amah</i> for the pavement. The height of the upper chamber was forty <i>amot</i>, one <i>amah</i> for its ornamentation, two <i>amot</i> for its supporting [beams], one <i>amah</i> for the ceiling, and one <i>amah</i> for the pavement. Three <i>amot</i> [were taken up by the] fence [around the roof], and an <i>amah</i> for the raven-chaser [spikes]. Rabbi Yehuda says, the spikes were not included in the measurement; rather, the fence was four <i>amot</i>.

Tosefta Megillah

There is no difference between a private altar and a public altar except that only vows and dedications may be brought on a private altar, whereas any offering that is not a result of a vow or a dedication may be brought on a public altar. There is no difference between the sanctuary in Shilo and the Temple in Jerusalem except that in Shilo, the building was made of stone on the bottom and curtains above.
