While working on "the-holy-ark-weigh-4-tons" I noticed, the thickness of the Kapores (1 Tefach) is concluded only in the Gemmorah by גזירה שווה to other measures (Succa 5a):

"... אלא כפורת טפח מנלן? דתני רבי חנינא כל הכלים שעשה משה נתנה בהן תורה מדת ארכן ומדת רחבן ומדת קומתן כפורת מדת ארכה ומדת רחבה נתנה מדת קומתה לא נתנה "

Why the Torah, listing all other measures of the Aron1 skips this one?

1 I would like to hear if you can spot other missing measures in the Mishkan.

The Torah doesn’t have any extra words. If we can figure out the thickness without the extra words, the words aren’t needed

  • Those are blind assumptions, not conclusions. Just about everything else in the Torah can be "logically" derived from other sources, and still we have other measurements. – Al Berko Mar 08 '19 at 10:55
  • Can you give an example of that? – Lo ani Mar 08 '19 at 13:25
