Reference for Megillah 20:17

תניא נמי הכי ארון שעשה משה יש לו עשר אמות לכל רוח וכתיב (מלכים א ו, כ) ולפני הדביר עשרים אמה אורך וכתיב כנף הכרוב האחד עשר אמות וכנף הכרוב האחד עשר אמות ארון גופיה היכא הוה קאי אלא לאו שמע מינה בנס היה עומד

It was also taught: The ark that Moses made had round it an [empty] space of ten cubits on every side. And it is written, “And in front of the Sanctuary was twenty cubits in length [and twenty cubits in breadth],” (I Kings 6:20) and it is also written, “And the wing of the one cherub was ten cubits and the wing of the other cherub was ten cubits” (based on I Kings 6:24-25). Where then was the ark itself? Rather derive from this that it stood [without occupying any room].
